Comments and Reviews

When visitors leave comments or reviews 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 or review.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site 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 several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. 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.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use our site. How Google uses your Personal Information.

Who we share your data with

We share your Personal Information with relevant third parties to help us fulfill your order. We will never share your personal information with any unrelated third parties for advertising purposes.

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.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. 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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, 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.

Data Protection

How we protect your data

We enforce HTTPS on all pages of our site. Unlike HTTP, HTTPS has encryption that protects your data from being intercepted by a third party between your web browser and a website. HTTPS also has strong authentication by having a digital signature that verifies that documents sent from the server are really from the server and that they haven’t been altered or corrupted during transit.

A SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate is needed in order to have a site that uses HTTPS instead of HTTP. A SSL Certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a website and encrypts the data transmitted between the user on a browser and the website that they are visiting. Encryption is when the data is scrambled beyond recognition and can only be readable again with the proper decryption key.

We use the security plugin Sucuri Security which offers a set of security features for our website to prevent hacking attempts. 

Additionally, we maintain recommended cybersecurity practices to protect against data breaches.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In the event of a data breach, we follow the FTC guidelines to secure our systems, fix vulnerabilities, and notify all affected parties.
