What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments
form, and also 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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded
location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any
location data from images on the website.

Analytics
Who we share your data with
We use utilities such as Akismet and Bad Behavior, to try to keep the trolls and spam down.
Those inspect the data you send to us and do stuff with it. Don’t be an ass and you’re probably fine.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This
is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of
holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that 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 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 request that we erase any personal data we hold about
you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal,
or security purposes.
Where we send your data
