User Comments
When you post a comment on our site, we collect certain details, including your IP address and browser information. This data is essential to help us prevent spam and maintain the integrity of user-generated content. If your email address is linked to a profile image service, we may create an anonymized hash to verify the connection between your email and the image. Once your comment is approved, any available profile image will appear next to your comment.
Image Uploads
If you choose to upload images to our site, we advise that you remove any location data (such as EXIF GPS information) from the images beforehand. This is because others could potentially access this data when viewing the images you upload.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience during future visits. This eliminates the need to re-enter the same information each time. These cookies are stored for up to one year. Additionally, when you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is created to check whether your browser supports cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and will be deleted once you close your browser. After logging in, various cookies are set to remember your login details and preferences. Login-related cookies expire after two days, while preference cookies last for one year. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your session will stay active for two weeks. Logging out will clear these cookies. A new cookie is also created when you update or publish a post, which will expire after one day.
Embedded Content from Third Parties
Our site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. When you interact with this content, it behaves as if you are visiting the external site directly. These external sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your activity, particularly if you are logged into their platforms.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent for this purpose.
Data Retention
We retain comments and associated metadata indefinitely to streamline the approval process for future comments. For users with registered accounts, the personal information they provide is also stored. You have the right to access, modify, or delete your personal data at any time, except for your username. Website administrators can access and edit this information when needed.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have posted comments on our site, you are entitled to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any details you’ve shared. You can also request the deletion of your personal data, except for information that we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Data Processing
Visitor comments may be automatically filtered through a spam detection service to ensure the quality and relevance of the content shared on our site.
