Comments & Contact Form
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL to help spam detection. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
When visitors contact me using the Website’s contact form, we similarly collect data shown in the form. This data is kept for up to one year from last interaction with the visitor, in order to sustain follow-ups in the topic concerned. They are not used for marketing purposes.
An anonymised 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.
For users that register on our website, 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.

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.
