Comments
When visitors comment on our website, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and the User-Agent string (to identify the browser) to support spam detection.

From your email address, we create a hashed and anonymized string and pass it to the Gravatar service to check if you use this. The Gravatar service's privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/ . After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media
If you are a registered user and upload photos to our website, please avoid uploading photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to our website may be able to download photos stored on our website and extract their location information.

Cookies
When you write a comment on our website, that can be a consent to store your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is a comfort function so you don't have to re-enter all this information when you write another comment. These cookies are stored for one year.

If you have an account and log in to our website, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set some cookies to store your login information and display options. Login cookies expire after two days, and cookies for display options after one year. If you select "Stay logged in" during login, your login is kept for two weeks. With the logout from your account, login cookies are deleted.

When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information and only references the post ID of the article you are editing. The cookie expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on our website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking services, and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content, if you have an account and are logged in to our website.

With whom we share your data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email for reset.

How long we store your data
When you write a comment, it is stored with metadata indefinitely. This way, we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store additional personal information that they provide in their user profiles. All users can access, modify, or delete their personal information (the username cannot be changed). Administrators of the website can also access and modify this information.

What rights you have to your data
If you have an account on our website or have written comments, you can request an export of your personal data, including all data you have shared with us. Additionally, you can request the deletion of all personal data we have stored about you. This excludes data we must maintain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be examined by an automated spam detection service.
