When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, in addition to the visitor’s IP address and browser data, to aid in detecting spam.

An anonymized string created from your email (also called a hash) can be sent to Gravatar to verify that you use the service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible next to your comment.

How long do we keep your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. We do this so that you can automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments rather than retaining them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (it’s just not possible to change your username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

What are your rights to your data

If you have an account on this site or if you have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we remove any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where do we send your data

Guest comments can be flagged by an automatic spam detection service.
