What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to combat spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (this is also called a hash) can be sent to the Gravatar service if you use it. The privacy policy page can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Who we share your data with

How long we keep your data

When you leave a comment, that comment and the metadata of that comment is saved forever. This way we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of having to moderate them.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we also store personal information in their user profile. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (only username cannot be changed). Site administrators can also view and modify this information.

What rights do you have from your own data

If you have an account on this website or you have posted comments, you may request an export file of your personal information that we have on you, including any information you have given us. You may also request that we delete this personal information we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to retain for administrative, legal or security purposes.
