Who We Are

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to aid in spam detection.

An anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at. Upon approval of your comment, your profile picture becomes visible to the public within the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, please refrain from including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from the images.

How Long We Retain Your Data
