Data We Collect and How We Use It
We collect user-submitted data through the forms on our website and may post this information for public consumption, such as in FAQs or other publicly accessible content. Additionally, if you contact us via our chat, social media channels, or contact form, we collect data about our interactions to improve the website and to help answer questions more effectively for others.
Our forms are not designed to capture personally identifiable information (PII), except for the contact form where you may choose to provide such information. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can check the “I’d like to remain anonymous” checkbox on our forms to indicate that we should not post your information in public content like FAQs.
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.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check 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, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images posted on the website.

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 as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking interactions if you have an account and are logged into that website.

Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
