What personal data is collected and why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, the site 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.
When you log in, the site will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

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.
Analytics
Who we share your data with
Your data is not shared with anyone that’s because this website is not using any external entity to monitor traffic in any way.
How long is your data retained
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.
For users that register on this 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.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information
Your contact information will never be shared willingly with anyone and that’s because it is stored in this website’s database only so that you can be contacted automatically by this website to let you know about updates or changes to articles (this applies to registered users)
Additional information
How is your data protected

What data breach procedures are in place
Security is quite tight on the infrastructure that’s running this site but nevertheless not impenetrable. By limiting access to the personal data and by requiring minimal data to identify registered users of this site I can say that even if such an event happens, the only affected people would be me (being the only registered user of this site) and possibly with time other friends of mine. You the visitor of this site have nothing to worry about a breach because you’re data cannot be leaked (since it will probably never be stored here
What third parties we receive data from
None
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
None
Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
