Comments — What We Collect and How We Use It
When you leave a comment, our system automatically records certain technical information — such as your IP address and browser type — to help us better detect and block spam.
We also generate a cryptographic hash of your email address, which may be sent to an external service to check for an associated avatar. If an avatar is found, it will appear next to your comment once it’s approved.
Uploading Photos and Other Media
Before uploading images, we recommend removing all metadata (like GPS location data) to protect your privacy. Without this step, visitors could potentially access sensitive information embedded in your files.

Embedded Content from Third Parties
Our pages may feature embedded media such as videos, images, or articles hosted on external platforms. Engaging with this content is governed by the privacy policies and cookie practices of the third-party providers, who may collect their own data.
Sharing of Personal Information
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the confirmation email as part of our security protocol.
Data Retention Policy
Comments and their related metadata are stored indefinitely to allow quicker moderation of future submissions.
Information tied to registered accounts is also retained in our system. You may at any time request an export or deletion of your personal data — however, your username will remain intact for administrative purposes.
Your Rights Regarding Your Data
As an account holder or commenter, you have the right to:
-
Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
-
Ask for your data to be deleted, provided no legal requirements mandate its retention
Automatic Comment Moderation
To protect the quality of discussion, all new comments are automatically scanned by a spam-detection system before they are published.
