Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data displayed in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may also be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the site, such as product images, we recommend avoiding uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS) because visitors to the site may be able to download and extract location data from those images.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles or content on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other website directly.

How long we retain your data

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including fulfilling any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
