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 if you have an account and 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.
  • We do not sell your data. However, we may share your data with trusted service providers (such as spam detection services) to improve your experience or meet legal obligations.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments.
  • Registered Users: For users that register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Data Rights (GDPR, CCPA, CPRA Compliance)

Access and Portability

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

Deletion

You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. However, this does not include any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Right to Opt-Out (CCPA/CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. We do not sell personal data, but you can still opt-out of any data-sharing practices by contacting us.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data collected on this site may also be processed outside of the country where you are located, including in the United States. We comply with all applicable legal requirements for international data transfers.

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
