What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Personal data is created by a user’s interactions with this site. Personal data is also generated from technical processes such as contact forms, comments, cookies, analytics, and third-party embeds.
By default, WordPress does not collect any personal data about visitors, and only collects the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. However, some plugins may collect personal data.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data entered into the comments form. We also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymous string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you have an account in order to display usernames and profile photos you may have selected in a Gravatar account. See Gravatar’s privacy policy here.
After your comment is approved and published, any profile photo you selected using Gravatar will be publicly displayed with your comment.
Media
Avoid uploading media files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data embedded in images.
Contact forms
To assist with sending you requested information, we use WPForms to collect and store your email address. WPForms outlines their use of your personal data and anonymized data here.
