What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect and store the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

Contact forms

This website has a contact form, which you can use to contact us. When you use the form, we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor’s IP address. The collected data will be stored on our servers for a limited period of time (60 days). But we do not use the information you submitted through our forms for marketing purposes.

We may send email newsletter if you signup using our subscription forms. We send this email only if you signup with your email address and confirm your subscription. You can also unsubscribe at any time.

You data will not be shared with others except the service we use to manage our newsletters. We will only share your information in this way when you have given us your permission.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Links to Other Sites

The website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

This site may also contain affiliate links which redirects to other sites that we do not operate.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Analytics

This website is using Matomo, an Open Source, self-hosted software for collecting anonymous usage statistics for this website. The data is used to analyze the behavior of the website visitors to identify potential pitfalls like not found pages, search engine indexing issues and to find out which contents are the most appreciated.

Who we share your data with

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

We may share your data with Mailchimp, a third-party email newsletter management service. We do so only if you signup using the appropriate forms on this website. You can find Mailchimp’s policies here – https://mailchimp.com/legal/.

We may also use Akismet to filter out spam comments from our websites.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (“Service Providers”), which includes web hosting and content delivery, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
