Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we gather the data that shows in the comment section plus the visitors IP address and the browser’s user agent string, to help us detect spam.

An anonymized string that has been created based on your email address (also known as a hash value) might be sent to the service Gravatar, to see if you are registered there. The privacy policy for the service Gravatar is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. When your comment has been approved, your profile picture will be shown publicly together with your comment.

Media

If you visit our login-page, we will use a temporary cookie in order to check if your browser accepts it. This cookie does not contain any personal data and it disappeares when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website can contain embedded content (videos, images, articles etc). Embedded content from other websites acts the exact same way as if you had visited that website.

These websites can gather some of your personal data, use cookies, embed further tracing from a third part and monitor your interaction with said embedded content, including tracing of your interaction with this embedded content, if you have an account and are logged in on the website in question.

Who we share your data with

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

How long we keep your data for

If you write a comment, the comment and its meta data will be stored without a time limit. The reason for this is that we have to be able to find and approve follow-up comments automatically and not place them in line for review.

If you register on our website we also save the personal information that you state in your user profile. All users can see, edit and erase their personal information at any time (with the exception of changing your user name). The website’s administrators can also see and edit this information.

What rights you have to your own data

If you have an account or have written any comments on this website, you can demand an export file with the personal data we have on you, including all information you have given us. You can also demand that we erase all personal data that we have on you. This does not extend to any data that we have to store for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where your data is being sent

Comments from visitors might be monitored by an automated service meant to detect spam.
