This is a personal, non-commercial website. I don’t run ads, use analytics, or collect data for marketing purposes. Here’s what does happen when you use this site:

Comments

If you leave a comment, WordPress stores your name, email address, IP address, and browser user agent string. This is standard behavior for this software and helps with spam detection and comment moderation. Comments may require approval before appearing publicly.

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 privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience on future comments. These expire after about a year. If you log in to this site (as the admin), WordPress will also set temporary session/login cookies.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.).

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.

Cbox Chat

This site includes an embedded Cbox chatbox on the homepage. Cbox is a third-party service — when you use the chatbox, Cbox may collect your IP address, any messages you post, and may set cookies to manage your chat session. This data is handled by Cbox, not by me directly. You can review their privacy practices here: https://www.cbox.ws/privacy

What I don’t do

I don’t sell or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes, run advertising, or use analytics/tracking scripts on this site.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments on this site, 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.

Where your data is sent

Comments are automatically checked against a local keyword blocklist to help filter spam. This check happens on this server — no comment data is sent to a third-party service for this purpose.
