These data are however collected with your consent.
We do not share personal information publicly or with any unrelated third party, except where required by law.
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
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
We use cookies to store information about user preferences. This information is then used to enhance user experience on our website.
If you leave a comment on our website you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine 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 also set up cookies to save your login information. Login cookies last for two days. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on our website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) or links to other website(s). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited that 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Please note that we do not have control over the content and practices of these other sites, and therefore cannot accept responsibility or liability for their privacy policies or lack of it.
What we collect and store
If you subscribe for our Newsletters, we will store your name and email address, which will be used to mail the Newsletters to you.
We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it.
We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.
Who on our team has access
Members of our team have access to the information you provide us.
Who we share your data with
We do not share any personal information submitted on our website with any third party except with partner companies who, in the ordinary course of business, provide us services that enable us to serve our website users better.
However, we do not authorize such partner companies to disclose or use your information for any other purpose than for providing services to us.
Where compelled by law, we may release personal information retained with us.
If you share information with advertisers on our website, we will not be responsible for the safety or otherwise of such information. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of such advertisers before exchanging information with them.
Outside of the above parameters, we will not share users’ personal information with any party.
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.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
