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 detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can find the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if connected to Gravatar) may be publicly visible next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (such as interview submissions or profile photos), please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract any location data from images posted publicly.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check 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 cookies to save your login information and 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, login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article or post, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains 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 and posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, interviews, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including if you are logged into that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in moderation.
For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for 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 data you 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 to protect the integrity and security of our site.
