What Personal Data We Collect & Why:

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.

Visitor comments will be checked through an automated spam detection service. This site uses: Akismet Anti-Spam.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, your name, email address and website are saved in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave subsequent comments. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, puzzles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

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 who subscribe to receive posts from our web-site via e-mail, we also store the personal information they provide in their profile. All subscribers can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except their username cannot be changed). The website administrator also can see and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data:

If you have a subscriber 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:

Visitor comments will be checked through an automated spam detection service. Our site uses Askimet Anti-Spam.

We do not share, sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. However, if you win a giveaway or contest, you will be asked for the information necessary to receive your prize. This information may be transmitted to the 3rd party that is fulfilling the prize order.

We use Google Analytics. This program tracks reader demographics and how this website is used. It helps us to provide the best possible content and site updates. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
