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, 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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid 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. 

Contact Forms

Information provided in contact forms or emails to the Webmaster is used only in connection with the specific question or issue which the contact form or email message addresses. This information may be shared with other Board Members, if necessary, to deal with that question or issue. It will not be shared with any other person or organization without the author’s specific knowledge and consent.

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.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you publish or edit an article or Forum message, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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 exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the source website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor or record your interaction with that embedded content.

Who we share your data with

We do not routinely share your data with any third-party organization or individual and will only do so with your knowledge and permission, or if we are required to do so by applicable law.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment or a Forum post the comment or post 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 register on our website, we also store any personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information on request (except that a user may not normally change his/her username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on 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. Your right to the erasure of your data 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.

Your contact information

The contact information of Registered users is only visible to site administrators, unless it is included in a Forum message, or in a linked document.

Additional information

How we protect your data

The database and presentation software which powers this site is kept regularly updated, and all reasonable precautions are taken to avoid the release of any data to unauthorized individuals.

What data breach procedures we have in place

If we are made aware of an event which may have resulted in a data breach, we will notify all potentially affected Registered users of the event and of its nature, likely extent and significance. Notifications will be sent by email to each user’s Registered email address.
