What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We personally do not collect data or use it. However, WordPress may require you to use your email address, IP address, and name to register and comment on this site. Plug-in’s may also use data to ensure the processes work well. Data is also generated from technical processes such as contact forms, comments, cookies, analytics, and third party embeds.
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.
Contact forms
If you choose to use the contact form, submissions are handled within a day or two for customer service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes at all.
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.
Social Media sites also use cookies to allow you to log into your site easier to cross post articles from my site. Analytics also use cookies to track visitor paths through my site.
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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We share no data with anyone and neither does WordPress.

How we protect your data
We maintain security measures to protect your personal information from those attempting to use it without authorization. However, the internet is never 100% secure.

You release me from all claims that could arise from such a breach.
