Privacy Policy

We will never share your information without your permission.

On Our Website

We do not share personal information with third parties, nor do we store any information about your visit to this site other than to analyze and optimize your content and reading experience through the use of cookies. When you are asked to share your personal information on this website, you are sharing that information only with us. We will not share it, exchange it, give it away, or sell it. We do not rent, sell, or co-mingle user information with anyone, for any reason.

As part of offering and providing custom, personalized services, we use cookies to store information about you. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Parts of our site require that you accept cookies. These cookies only store the preferences you have made, and make it easier for you to navigate the site. You can choose (within your browser) to require permission before each cookie is written to your hard drive, but you must accept cookies to use portions of this site. You can turn off the use of cookies at anytime by changing your specific browser settings.

E-Mail Subscriptions

If you opt-in to receiving email communications from us, then we may send information to you about our products or services. We are diligent at complying with your instructions regarding updates and removals. If you ever feel that we are not complying with this promise, please contact us and we will fix it promptly.

Media

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

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. 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 our login page, we 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, we 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 an article, 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.

Embedded content from other websites

Content 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.

Who we share your data with

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

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 receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are 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.
