Privacy Policy Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the information provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.

You can review their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may feature embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from external websites behaves exactly as if you visited that site directly.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to automatically approve follow-up comments, rather than placing them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time, except for their username. Website administrators also have access to edit this information.


Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this website or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data. You may also ask us to erase any personal data we hold about you, except for information required for administrative, legal, or security reasons.


Where Your Data Is Sent

To prevent spam, visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service.
