Who I am

What personal data is collected and why is it collected

Comments

When vis­i­tors leave com­ments on this site, it col­lects 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.

Media

If you upload images to this web­site, you should avoid upload­ing images with embed­ded loca­tion data (EXIF GPS) includ­ed. Vis­i­tors can down­load and extract any loca­tion data from images on this website.

Cookies

If you leave a com­ment on this site you may opt-in to sav­ing your name and email address. These are for your con­ve­nience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave anoth­er com­ment. These cook­ies will last for one year.

If you vis­it the login page, the site will set a tem­po­rary cook­ie to deter­mine if your brows­er accepts cook­ies. This cook­ie con­tains no per­son­al data and is dis­card­ed when you close your browser.

When you log in, the site will also set up sev­er­al cook­ies to save your login infor­ma­tion and your screen dis­play choic­es. Login cook­ies last for two days, and screen options cook­ies last for a year. If you select “Remem­ber Me”, your login will per­sist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cook­ies will be removed.

If you edit or pub­lish a post, an addi­tion­al cook­ie will be saved in your brows­er. This cook­ie includes no per­son­al data and sim­ply indi­cates the post ID of the arti­cle you just edit­ed. It expires after 1 day.

This web­site uses Google Ana­lyt­ics to bet­ter help under­stand my vis­i­tors, which saves a few cook­ies in your brows­er. These cook­ies include no per­son­al data and are used to dis­tin­guish users of the site. From these cook­ies, one expires after an hour and the oth­er after a year.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this site may include embed­ded con­tent (e.g. videos, images, arti­cles, etc.). Embed­ded con­tent from oth­er web­sites behaves in the exact same way as if the vis­i­tor has vis­it­ed the oth­er website.

These web­sites may col­lect data about you, use cook­ies, embed addi­tion­al third-par­ty track­ing, and mon­i­tor your inter­ac­tion with that embed­ded con­tent, includ­ing track­ing your inter­ac­tion with the embed­ded con­tent if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

This web­site uses Google Ana­lyt­ics to help me under­stand my vis­i­tors bet­ter. No per­son­al data is col­lect­ed to track vis­i­tors and all IP address­es are anonymized. Google’s pri­va­cy pol­i­cy is avail­able here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

How long your data is retained

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

For users that reg­is­ter on the web­site (if any), the per­son­al infor­ma­tion they pro­vide in their user pro­file is also stored. 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 receive an export­ed file of the per­son­al data held about you, includ­ing any data you have pro­vid­ed. You can also request any per­son­al data held about you to be erased. This does not include any data I am oblig­ed to keep for admin­is­tra­tive, legal, or secu­ri­ty purposes.

Where your data is sent

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