What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We do not actively collect user’s personal data. If you subscribe, we will record your email address (to perform subscription services) and, at your option, your name.
If you download a document from the Downloads page we will record your IP address and, if you have one, your User ID.
Comments
We currently do not permit comments to be posted. If, at some point, we resume accepting comments, the following will apply. The following applies, as well, to comments that were posted before we stopped accepting 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.
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.
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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=us) and the Monster Insights plugin for Google Analytics (privacy policy at https://www.monsterinsights.com/privacy-policy/).
We do not directly use any of your analytics data. However, Google and Monster Insights use that data as set forth in their privacy policies.
Who we share your data with
We typically do not share your data with anyone. However, we may share your data with governmental authorities if we legally are required to do so.
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 subscribe our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have a subscription to 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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
