What personal data we collect and why we collect it

When visitors interact with our website, we may collect the following personal data:

  • Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. An anonymized string created from the visitor's email address (also known as a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine if the visitor is using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. If the comment is approved, the visitor's profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of the comment.

  • Media: If visitors upload images to the website, they should avoid including embedded location data (such as EXIF GPS) in the images. Visitors to the website may download and extract any location data from images on the website.

  • Contact forms: If visitors use our contact forms, we may collect their name, email address, and message.

  • Cookies: We may use cookies to improve the visitor's experience on our website. For example, if a visitor leaves a comment, they may opt-in to saving their name, email address, and website in cookies for future use. We also use cookies for login purposes and to remember the visitor's screen display choices.
