Our Identity

Personal Data Collection and Usage

When you submit a comment on our platform, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, email address, IP address, and browser information. This helps us efficiently identify and prevent spam. If your email is linked to a Gravatar account, we may send a hashed version of your email address to Gravatar to verify it. For further information, please check Gravatar’s Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be displayed next to it.

Uploading Media

We advise against uploading images that contain EXIF data, such as geolocation information, as it may be accessible to other users.

Cookie Usage

When you comment on our site, you may opt to store your name, email, and website in cookies for easier future comments. These cookies will last for one year. When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is created to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. After logging in, additional cookies are generated to store your login credentials and display preferences. Login-related cookies expire after two days, while display preference cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login session will remain active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies. If you edit or publish a post, a cookie with the post ID is created, expiring after 24 hours.

Embedded Content from Other Sites

Our website may include embedded content like videos or articles from external platforms. These elements function similarly to directly visiting the third-party site. Such sites may collect your data, use cookies, and track your interactions, especially if you’re logged into their services.

Sharing Personal Information

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

Data Retention

We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely to facilitate automatic approval for future comments. We also store account-related information for registered users. You can view, modify, or delete your personal data at any time, except for your username, which cannot be altered. Site administrators can also access and update this information as necessary.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left a comment, you can request a file containing all the personal data we hold about you. You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, though certain data may be retained for legal or administrative reasons.

Spam Detection

Visitor comments may be processed by an automated spam detection service to ensure the quality of content on our site.
