What personal data we collect and why we collect it

This site is unfortunately built on top of a privacy-second framework called WordPress, on top of a public hosting solution. This decision was made to facilitate the fastest distribution of information. If you wish for the below items to not apply, please enact privacy-enhancing browser plugins that prevent analytics tracking, and do not submit any information you do not wish to be made public.

Despite best efforts to keep your access and data on this site secure, your visit to this site iindicates agreement to these terms and the associated privacy and security risks.

Comments

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

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 approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Analytics

Who we share your data with

We do not actively attempt to share or intend to share your data with any third parties. However due to the nature of hosted WordPress sites, some of your analytics data may be shared by the CMS framework with third-party services such as BoldGrid, WordPress, and other Content Management System bundled library providers.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to have this data deleted from our databases. This does not, however, include any data in hosting service logs which is largely out of our control, nor data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How we protect your data

Your visit to this site is protected by HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enforcing encrypted communications with a modern cipher set. We likewise employ several best-practice Content Security Policy (CSP) and anti-clickjacking headers to prevent the site from being misrepresented or embedded in other potentially malicious sites.
