User Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect certain information you provide, such as your IP address and details about your browser. This information is crucial for preventing spam and maintaining the quality of user-generated content. If your email address is linked to a profile picture service, we may create an anonymized hash to verify your connection to the profile image. Once your comment is approved, your profile image will be displayed, if available.

Image Uploads

If you upload images to our site, we advise ensuring they do not contain location-based data, such as EXIF GPS information, as other users might extract this data from your uploaded images.

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This will help you avoid re-entering the same information on future visits. These cookies will be stored for one year. Additionally, when you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not store personal data and is deleted once you close your browser. After you log in, several cookies will be created to remember your login information and preferences. Login cookies will expire after two days, and preference cookies will remain for one year. If you choose to stay logged in using the “Remember Me” option, your session will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies. A new cookie will also be set when you modify or publish a post, which will expire after one day.

Embedded Content from External Websites

Our website may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from third-party sites. This content operates as if you are visiting those external websites directly. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your activities, particularly if you’re logged into their platforms.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, the IP address you use will be included in the email sent to you for that purpose.

Data Retention

We retain comments and their associated metadata indefinitely to speed up the approval process for follow-up comments. For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their profiles. You have the right to view, update, or delete your personal data at any time, except for your username. Website administrators can also access and edit this information when necessary.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided. You may also request the deletion of your personal data, except for any data we are legally required to retain for administrative or security reasons.

Data Processing

Visitor comments may be automatically processed by a spam detection service to help maintain the quality of the content on our site.
