We are aware that you place your trust in us. We therefore see it as our responsibility to protect your privacy. On this page we will let you know what data we collect when you use our website and why we collect this data. This privacy policy applies to our services. You should be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy policies of other sites and sources. By using this website you indicate that you accept the privacy policy. We respect the privacy of all users of our site and ensure that the personal information you provide is treated confidentially.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you can indicate whether your name, e-mail address and site may be stored in a cookie. We do this for your convenience so that you do not have to enter this information again for a new response. These cookies are valid for one year. When you visit our login page, we store a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted as soon as you close your browser. Once you log in, we will store some cookies in connection with your login information and screen display options. Login cookies are valid for 2 days and cookies for screen display options 1 year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will be saved for 2 weeks. As soon as you log out of your account, login cookies will be removed. When you edit or publish a message, an additional cookie is stored by your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only contains the post ID of the article you have edited. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded content from other sites

Posts on this site may contain embedded content (for example, videos, images, messages, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves exactly the same as if the visitor had visited this other site. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with this embedded content, including recording your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that site.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we keep your data

When you leave a comment, that comment and the metadata of that comment will be saved forever. This way we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of moderating them. For users who register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal information we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
