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 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.
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.
Cookies
We use the WordPress core software, and also many different WordPress plugins from many different sources.
We don’t even attempt to keep track of what WordPress and all of those plugins do with cookies.
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.

How long we retain your data
We could blow all sorts of sunshine [redacted] [redacted] [redacted], but the reality is best summed up in the words…
“The internet is forever”
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have an account on this site, retention of that minimum of data needed for registration is necessary to prevent fraud and abuse.
If you leave comments (or have left comments), be guided by the sound advice of my great-grandmother Crystal Maud:
“Never set in writing anything you would not want to see printed on the front page of the New York Times“
Bear in mind that there is data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data

Financial transactions are handled in accordance with appropriate confidential protocols, including but not limited to fraud detection services.
