Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and 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 can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

If you provide contact or personal information, it is used only for the purpose you selected, either to attend events or comment on the blog.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies.  These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.  These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies.  This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also 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.

If you are granted access to edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser.  This cookie includes no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you just edited.  It expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, references, etc.).  Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly 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.

Who we share your data with

Your IP address will be included in the reset email if you request a password reset.

How long  your data is retained

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.  This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles.  All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username).  Website administrators can also see and edit that 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 can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.  This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

If you donate, the information you provide is processed through secure connections with any outside vendor such as Woocommerce or PayPal.  And, if you provided personal data for registration, your contact information is not transmitted or sold to any third party.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Additional information

We protect your data via WordPress application continuous security and our website host, Interserver.net, which uses HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).  This protocol is the secure version of the HTTP protocol.  The ‘S’ at the end of HTTPS stands for ‘Secure.’ It means all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted.

We will follow any existing or future Industry and governmental regulatory requirements.
