What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors post information at this site (for example in the visitors book or through the contact page) we collect the data, 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.

Contact forms

Using our contact forms transmits your input by email to the administrator, using industry-standard secure methods of encryption.

Cookies

To use certain parts of our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login cookie will persist for one year. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish something on the site, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

The only content we embed from another web site is the Google search facility. Forum users may also do so in the posts and avatars.

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.

Analytics

As all servers do, we maintain logs of all files accessed on the site, when and from which IP address to assist in the tracking of errors and the elimination of Denial of Service attacks.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your personal data unless required to do so by law in connection with, for example, criminal investigations.

How long we retain your data

If you post information on the site, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up postings 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, 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

We don’t, unless required by law to do so.
