 1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information when you interact with our website, including:

– Comments:  

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent. This helps us detect and prevent spam. 

– Media Uploads:  

If you upload images to our website, please avoid including any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in the images. Visitors can extract location data from images, so we recommend excluding this information for privacy reasons.

– Cookies and Contact Forms:  

When you submit a comment or fill out a contact form, we may use cookies to store your name, email address, and website URL. These cookies are saved for your convenience and remain active for one year. If you leave a comment or log in to the website, temporary cookies may be set to remember your login preferences.

 2. Embedded Content from External Sources

Our website may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles, from other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you were visiting the third-party website directly. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and engage in additional tracking to monitor your interactions with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in.

 3. Data Retention

Comments:  

We retain all comments and their metadata indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments without having to moderate them manually.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except for your username, which cannot be changed). Our website administrators can also access and modify your information.

 4. Data Sharing

– We do not share your personal data with third parties, except when necessary for administrative purposes, to comply with the law, or for legitimate business interests.

– If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

– Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service to protect the website from abuse.

 5. Your Rights Over Your Data

You have certain rights regarding the personal data we hold about you, including the ability to:

– Access Your Data: You can request a copy of your personal data that we store.

– Edit or Delete Data: You can request to correct or delete any personal information we hold about you, except for data that we are legally obligated to retain for security or compliance purposes.

 8. Security of Your Data

We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no data transmission over the Internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

 9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
