Terms of use

By using this website, you consent to our terms of use.

What personal data we collect and why

This is a WordPress website, and as such, it does not intentionally collect any personal information about visitors. For registered users of this site, the data shown on the User Profile screen is collected. Registered users include named authors of the site’s content; for these users, who have volunteered to be identified in conjunction with their contributions to the website, the only personal information collected is their name or pseudonym. Some site content is attributed to “Anonymous” at the contributor’s request. 

Security logs

The IP address of visitors, user ID of logged in users, and username of login attempts are conditionally logged to check for malicious activity and to protect the site from specific kinds of attacks. Examples of conditions when logging occurs include login attempts, log out requests, requests for suspicious URLs, changes to site content, and password updates. This information is retained for 60 days.

Who we share your data with

This site is scanned for potential malware and vulnerabilities by our hosting provider. We do not send personal information to them; however, they could find personal information posted publicly (such as in comments) during their scan. 

How long we retain your data

Security logs are retained for 60 days.

Where we send your data

This site is part of a network of sites that protect against distributed brute force attacks. To enable this protection, the IP address of visitors attempting to log into the site is shared with a third-party service.

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.

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.

Newsletters and contact forms

If you subscribe to our newsletter or use one of our contact forms, you submit your email address and (optionally) your first name and last name and give us the right to contact you by email. If you opt-in to our newsletter via any method, we use the data stored in that registration exclusively for our newsletter and do not pass this on. Because we provide a clear opt-in and opt-out for subscribing or unsubscribing to our newsletter, we do not send it to users who do not remain opted-in to receive it.

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.

Who we share your data with

We do not share any personal data with anyone beyond what is publicly visible on this website.

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.

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.
