Who We Are
We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how it is used.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized hash created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available on the Automattic website. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images posted on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not need to re-enter your details when leaving future comments. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and display preferences.

If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for 2 weeks.
When you log out, login cookies are removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited the other website directly.
These external websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you have provided.
You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you want, I can also:
🔹 Format this in HTML for WordPress
🔹 Adapt it for GDPR or CCPA compliance
🔹 Shorten it for a simplified policy
Just tell me!
