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, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection and security.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media uploads
If you upload images to the website (for example, via author tools or community features), avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the site.
Contact forms and support messages
If you contact us, we collect the information you provide (such as name, email address, and message content) so we can respond, provide support, and keep records related to your request.
Newsletter subscriptions
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and, where available, basic information about subscription status (such as sign-up date, confirmation, and unsubscribe events). We use this information to send updates and manage your subscription. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
Accounts and user profiles
If you create an account on our site (if available), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they may not be able to change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit that information for site management and support.
Analytics and site performance
We may use analytics and performance tools to understand how visitors use our website, improve content, and maintain site stability. These tools may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type, browser type, and interactions. This data is typically aggregated or pseudonymized.

Affiliate links
Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that platform.
