What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
If a visitor leaves 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, which can help spam detection.
An anonymised 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.
Media
If you are a contributor to the website (e.g. send us a photograph) or upload images to the website (you have an account), you should avoid sending/uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
