Comments
When visitors post comments on the site, we gather the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to assist in spam detection.
An anonymized string, known as a hash, derived from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if it is associated with an account. The privacy policy for the Gravatar service can be found at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image will be publicly displayed alongside your comment.
Media
When uploading images to the website, it’s important to avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download images and extract this location data.

Website administrators have the capability to view and modify that information as well.

Additionally, you have the right to ask for the deletion of your personal data in our records. This excludes any data we must retain due to administrative, legal, or security obligations.
