2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with 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’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Contact Forms
When you submit a contact form, we collect your personal data (e.g., name, email, message content) to respond to your inquiry. This data is used solely for communication purposes and is not shared with third parties unless stated otherwise.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, 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 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 one 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 one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles 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
We may use analytics tools to track and analyze the usage of our website to improve its functionality and your experience. These tools may collect information about your device, browser type, usage patterns, and more.
3. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your information with trusted service providers, such as email providers or spam detection services, to facilitate communication or ensure the website’s security.
4. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we 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.
5. 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.
6. Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

8. How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data by implementing appropriate technical and organizational security measures. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We protect your personal data using security protocols such as SSL encryption, firewalls, and other standard security measures to safeguard your information against unauthorized access or misuse.
9. What Data Breach Procedures We Have in Place
In the event of a data breach, we will promptly notify affected users and take appropriate measures to mitigate the impact of the breach, including offering support if necessary.

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling based on your personal data. However, we may use analytics tools to analyze trends and improve our website.
12. Industry Regulatory Disclosure Requirements
