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
This website uses the plug-in, Contact Form 7. This contact form security setting is integrated with Google reCAPTCHA to block spam messages. When someone submits a contact form, the contact form requires the following data: sender’s name, email address, subject of the message, and their message. These data are kept for customer service purposes, e.g., in order to reply to the sender, after which the data are destroyed. These data are not used for marketing purposes.
