When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string. This information is used to help detect spam.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the original website.

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if applicable), 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 their username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided to us. You can also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
