What personal data I collect and why I collect it

Comments

When you leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected, 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.

Contact forms

If you use this site’s contact form to reach out to me, the minimum you need to provide is your email address so I can get back to you. You can choose to provide a name also. This information is not stored on the website but will rather live in my personal inbox.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on my 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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How we protect your data

I do everything I can to make this site and your information as secure as possible. This includes using a firewall to protect the website and the possibility of opting into two-factor-authentication using Google Authenticator for registered site users. However, since no security measures can be 100% secure, users of this site will be notified within 72 hours of any data breach.
