What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site 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.
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.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Contact forms
If you choose to contact us through the form on our contact page, the information you provide will be captured and transmitted to our inbox when you press the ‘submit’ button. This information may also be logged and stored on our server, along with your IP address.
Your contact form submission may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Embedded content from other websites

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.

Your IP address is collected, however, Google truncates this data before it enters the report. (In other words, we are not able to see your full IP address through Google Analytics.)
