What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Comments When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown 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 (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Media If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this data from images.
Contact Forms If you submit information through a contact form, we collect the data you provide, including your name, email, and message content, to respond to your inquiry. We do not use this information for marketing unless you explicitly opt-in.
