What personal data we collect
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user agent-browser string, to help spam detection.
An anonymous string generated from your email address (also called a hash) can be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Mediafiles
If you are uploading images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Site visitors can download and retrieve any location data from images on the site.

Who we share your data with
How long do we keep your data
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This way we can automatically detect and approve every next comment instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our site (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights do you have in relation to your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exportable file of the personal information we keep about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase any personal information we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal and security purposes.
