Privacy and Policy
What personal information do we gather, and why do we gather it?
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we gather the information provided in the comments form, as well as 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 determine if you are using it. You can review the Gravatar service’s privacy policy here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, it's important to avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download these images and extract any location data they contain.
