Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

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 in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may gather your data, use cookies, incorporate third-party tracking, and watch how you interact with embedded content. If you have an account with these websites and you are logged in, the cookies may also track your interactions with the content.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Currently, there are no logins, and no passwords are required on this site.
How long do we retain your data?
We retain comments left (and related metadata) indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we have about you, except for any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons. At this point – we do not enable accounts for external users.
Where do we send your data?
We will check visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.
