Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site (e.g., for your profile or forum posts), please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this data from your images if present.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to re-enter your details again. These cookies will last for one year.
When you log in, we set up several cookies:
- A temporary cookie to test if your browser accepts cookies (no personal data).
- Login cookies that last for two days.
- “Remember Me” cookies that persist for two weeks.
- Screen option cookies that last for a year.
If you log out, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish content, a cookie containing the post ID will be stored — it expires in one day and contains no personal data.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, tweets, or external articles). These embedded elements behave exactly as if you visited the source website directly.
Such third-party sites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content — especially if you are logged into their site (e.g., Google, Facebook, X).
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
However, if you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. We may also share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., spam protection, analytics tools, or learning management plugins like LMS) under strict confidentiality agreements.
How long we retain your data
Comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely for recognition and automatic approval of follow-up comments.
For users that register on the site, we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their information anytime (except usernames). Site administrators can also see and edit this data.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase your data — this does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To request data access or deletion, email us at: [email protected]
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, data may be processed through hosting and learning tools that help us manage and improve the platform (e.g., LMS plugin integrations, analytics, etc.).
