Summary
We use cookies to detect whether you are logged in. If you leave a comment, we’ll keep some metadata with the comment for spam detection. The site is not very secure, so don’t store anything sensitive in your user profile.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When you leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and your 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.
Cookies
We use cookies to remember whether you are logged in.
When you log in, we 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. 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.
In other words, we use the WordPress default settings for cookies.
Who we share your data with
We don’t.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely, or until we decide to delete it, to make moderation easier.
If you register an account, we also store the personal information that you provide with your account. Obviously.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Additional information
How we protect your data
We don’t really try very hard, so don’t put important critical information in your user profile. We don’t need or want your credit card information or, in fact, any information at all beyond a user name. For goodness sake don’t store anything sensitive in your user account!
What data breach procedures we have in place
None whatsoever.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
None whatsoever.
