This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website.

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval, your profile picture is visible in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this data.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the source website. Those sites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor interactions, including if you are logged in to that service.

Where Your Data Is Sent
