Chit-Chat and Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect some info like the data in the comment form, your IP address, and browser details to keep those pesky spammers at bay.
We might turn your email address into a magical string (also known as a hash) and check if you’re using Gravatar. After your comment gets our thumbs up, your Gravatar profile pic is visible to everyone in the context of your comment. You can check out Gravatar’s own cloak-and-dagger stuff over at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Media Magic
If you’re uploading pictures, try not to include any location data in your images, unless you fancy sharing your whereabouts with the world. Visitors can download and extract any location data from the pictures on our site.
Cookie Crumbs
If you leave a comment, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies, so you don’t have to fill in your details every time you want to share your thoughts. These cookie crumbs will hang around for a year.
When you visit our login page, we’ll leave a temporary cookie to check if your browser is a cookie monster. It doesn’t contain any personal data and vanishes when you close your browser.
If you log in, we’ll set up several cookies to save your login details and your screen display choices. Login cookies stay for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you tick “Remember Me”, we’ll remember you for two weeks. When you log out, the login cookies disappear.
If you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie doesn’t hold any personal data; it just notes the post ID of the article you just tweaked. It vanishes after 1 day.
Other Websites’ Stuff on Our Site
We sometimes include embedded content from other websites, like videos, images, articles, etc. This content behaves just like it would if you visited the other website.
These websites might collect data about you, use cookies, add third-party tracking, and keep an eye on your interaction with their embedded content. This tracking might happen if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who Gets to See Your Data
If you forget your password and request a reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Your Data, Your Rights
If you have an account here, or have left comments, you can ask to receive an exported file of the personal data we have about you, including any data you’ve given us. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we have about you. This doesn’t include any data we have to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data Travels
Visitor comments might be checked through an automated spam detection service. So, you see, we’re all about keeping things transparent and fun, while making sure your data is treated with respect. Welcome to the playful side of privacy!
