What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

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 your comment is approved, 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 that contain location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from the images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site and/or app, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, we will install a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one 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 edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data and simply indicates the 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, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.

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

Third-Party Actions

Additionally, within this site, you may find pages, promotions, microsites, virtual stores, surveys, sponsors, advertisers, contractors, and/or partners providing services, along with other shared or cobranded services with third parties (“Cobranded Sites”). These third parties may request information from you, which this site may disclose.

The information provided on these Cobranded Sites is subject to their respective privacy policies or data protection statements displayed on those sites and is not covered by this privacy policy. We strongly recommend that users carefully review the privacy policies displayed on the Cobranded Sites.

Personal Data Protection Policy

To use some services or access certain content, you may be required to provide certain personal data. These will only be used for the purpose for which they were collected.

The types of information that may be requested include, but are not limited to, your name, email address, date of birth, gender, occupation, country and city of origin, and personal interests. Not all requested information is mandatory, except for those fields we explicitly indicate as required.

As a general principle, this site does not share or disclose collected information, except in the following cases:
a) When required by a competent authority after completing the corresponding legal process.
b) When, in our judgment, it is necessary to enforce the terms of use of this site or to protect the integrity of other users or the site itself.

You should be aware that if you voluntarily disclose personal information online in a public area, others may collect and use that information. We do not control the actions of our visitors and users.

Responsible Conduct

All information you provide must be truthful. You guarantee the authenticity of any data you submit when completing the necessary forms for subscribing to services, accessing content, or restricted areas of the site. You will be solely responsible for any false or inaccurate statements you make and for any damages caused to this site or third parties by the information you provide.

You agree to act responsibly on this site and to treat other visitors with respect.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if any) and/or app, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on this website, you can request 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 delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
