When visitors leave comments on our website, we gather the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information assists in detecting and preventing spam.
A hashed and anonymized string, generated from your email address, may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine if you have a Gravatar associated with it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found at this link: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public within the context of your comment.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on our site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles sourced from other websites. Embedded content from external sources behaves in the same way as if the visitor were to visit those websites directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

Data Retention
When you leave a comment, both the comment itself and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables us to automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users have the ability to view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for the username which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and modify this information.

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you. This includes any data you have provided to us. You may also request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data that we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
