What personal data I collect and why I collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information displayed on the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user string to help detect spam.
An anonymised string generated from your email address (also called a hash) can be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
When uploading images to the site, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Site visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

How long we keep your data
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so that we can automatically recognise and approve any subsequent comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Site administrators may also view and edit this information.
What rights do 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 may also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include information that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
