User Comments

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect certain details such as your IP address and browser information. This data is essential for preventing spam and ensuring the integrity of user-generated content. If your email address is linked to a profile image service, we may generate an anonymized hash to verify your email and the associated image. Once your comment is approved, any available profile image will be displayed alongside your comment.

Image Uploads

If you choose to upload images to our site, we recommend removing any location data (such as EXIF GPS information) from the images before uploading. This is because others may be able to access this data when viewing the images you upload.

Cookies

When you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience during future visits. This eliminates the need to re-enter the same information each time. These cookies will remain stored for up to one year. Additionally, when you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be created to verify if your browser supports cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and will be deleted once you close your browser. After logging in, several cookies are set to remember your login credentials and preferences. Login-related cookies expire after two days, while preference cookies last for one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your session will remain active for two weeks. Logging out will clear these cookies. A new cookie is also created when you update or publish a post, which will expire after one day.

Embedded Content from Third Parties

Our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from external websites. When interacting with this content, it behaves as if you have visited the third-party site directly. These external sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your activity, particularly if you’re logged into their platforms.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent for that purpose.

Data Retention

We keep comments and their associated metadata indefinitely to expedite the approval process for future comments. For users with registered accounts, we also store the personal information they provide. You have the right to access, modify, or delete your personal data at any time, except for your username. Website administrators can access and edit this information when necessary.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have posted comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including any details you have shared. You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, except for information we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons.

Data Processing

Visitor comments may be automatically screened through a spam detection service to ensure the content remains relevant and of high quality.
