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.

Who we share your data with
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment 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 (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their 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. This 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
Although not every international privacy regulation requires public contact details, the laws that do exist will likely apply to your business.
GDPR Requirements
Any business in the world that collects personal information from people in the EU (even if it’s just an IP address) will be required to comply with the following General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Privacy Policy stipulations:
- List the physical location where consumer data is being stored and processed
- State the name and contact details of both the data controller and any data processors, if applicable
- Post the contact details of the Data Protection Officer (DPO), if applicable
- Post the contact details of the European Representative, if applicable
Let’s take a look at each stipulation and how to satisfy it.
1. List the physical location where consumer data is being stored and processed
EU residents, often referred to as data subjects, have the right to be informed of where their personal information is being stored and processed. For this reason, it is required that you include the name and physical location of your business in your Privacy Policy.

On occasion we may also process sensitive personal data of others engaging with PI, for example where an individual provides us with information relating to accessibility needs for the purpose of arranging a meeting or where an individual contacts PI and their communication includes sensitive personal data. We do not use this data for any other purpose other than that for which it is provided.
