Comments and Data Privacy

When you leave a comment on our site, we automatically collect certain technical details, such as your IP address and browser information. This helps us improve our spam detection system. A hashed version of your email address may be generated and sent to an external service to check for an associated profile picture (avatar). Once your comment is approved, the avatar (if available) will appear next to your post.

Handling Media Files

If you upload images to our site, please ensure that you remove any metadata, such as GPS coordinates. Otherwise, this information could be visible to other users and unintentionally disclose your location.

Cookies and Their Usage

When submitting a comment, you have the option to save your name, email, and website in a cookie, which allows for quicker form-filling in the future. These cookies are stored for one year.

Upon logging in, temporary cookies are set to ensure browser compatibility, expiring after two days. If you choose the “Keep me logged in” option, cookies will remain active for 14 days. Other settings are saved for one year. When a post is created or edited, a technical cookie is set that does not contain personal data and will automatically expire after 24 hours.

Embedded Content from Third-Party Services

Some content on our site, such as videos, images, or posts from external websites, may be embedded. By interacting with these embedded contents, you agree to the privacy policies of the third-party service providers, which may set cookies and collect data.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the confirmation email for security purposes.

Data Storage and Retention

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to allow for quicker detection and approval of follow-up comments. Additionally, user data from registered accounts is retained. You can request a copy of your stored personal data or request its deletion at any time; however, your username will remain for administrative purposes.

Your Data Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request a copy of your stored personal data or ask for its deletion, provided there are no legal retention requirements preventing this.

Automated Spam Detection

All new comments are automatically checked through a spam detection system before they are made publicly visible on the site.
