Automatically collected data such as your browser type, IP address, and activity (used for analytics and security)

Comments

When visitors leave comments, the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent, are collected to help prevent spam.

An anonymized string (a hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it.
See the Gravatar privacy policy here.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to this website (for example, in comments), avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as others could extract that information.
