Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to assist with spam detection.
If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) might be sent to Gravatar to see if you have a profile picture. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be displayed publicly alongside your comment.

If you upload images to our site, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract this location data from the images.

Our articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other sites. This embedded content functions as if you had visited the other site directly.

Data Retention
- Comments: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to help recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
- User Profiles: For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, though they cannot change their username. Website administrators also have access to this information.
Your Data Rights
