What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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. Other information you provide, such as a username, name, or email address may also be collected and used for administering the site.
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.

If you upload images, videos or other media to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) or personal information included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location or other data from media on the website.
Contact forms
All information disclosed in contact forms may be permanently retained. Depending on the nature of form and user options submitted with the form, information may be used for marketing and advertising purposes including email lists. Information may be used in the course of business and the submitter consents that agents or parties deemed appropriate by the site administrators may handle and respond to that information as they deem necessary.

Note that some information may be retained after deletion in the site’s backend functions, caches or archive/back-ups. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
