What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When a visitor leaves a comment, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser’s User Agent string, to help check for spam comments.

The anonymized string (also known as a hash) generated from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to confirm whether you are using the service. The privacy policy of Gravatar services is as follows: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile image will be publicly displayed next to your comment.

Media

If you upload images to this website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded geographic location information (EXIF GPS). Visitors to this website will be able to download and extract location information from images on this website.

Account registration

For registered users, we collect your username, email address and optional profile information you provide. This data is used to provide site account functions, manage your articles and comments.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to use cookies to save your name, email address, and website address. This provides convenience by allowing you to avoid having to fill in relevant content again when commenting. These cookies will be retained for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to confirm whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we also set multiple cookies to save your login information and screen display options. Login cookies will be retained for two days, while screen display option cookies will be retained for one year. If you choose ‘Remember Me’, your login status will be retained for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the cookies used for login will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, we will save an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and only records the ID of the article you just edited. This cookie will be retained for one day.

You can manage, block or delete cookies through your own browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect some functions of this website.

Analytical cookies set by Google Analytics 4 are non‑essential cookies and will only be placed upon your explicit consent.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may contain embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). The behavior of embedding content from other sites is no different from directly accessing these other sites.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third‑party tracking programs, and monitor your interaction with these embedded content, including tracking your interaction with embedded content when you have an account on these sites and log in to them.

We process your personal data mainly based on:

  1. Your explicit consent (for comment‑related cookies);
  2. Our legitimate interest in operating the website, preventing spam and maintaining site security.

Who do we share your information with

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

Visitor comments may be checked by automatic spam comment monitoring services.
Your data may also be accessed by our hosting service provider for the purpose of server maintenance. We will not sell your personal data to any third‑party for marketing purposes.

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web‑analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous and pseudonymised information including device type, browser, IP‑address (IP anonymisation enabled), pages visited, session duration and site‑interaction data for the purpose of analysing website traffic and user behaviour.

This processing is performed based on your consent. Analytics tracking will only activate if you accept analytical‑category cookies. Google acts as our data processor; data may be transferred to the United States subject to appropriate data‑protection safeguards under the EU‑US Data Privacy Framework. You can learn more in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google Search Console is used for website search‑performance monitoring. It is a backend administrative tool and does not deploy tracking scripts or collect personal visitor data on our website.

Where data is transferred outside your local region, we apply appropriate data‑protection safeguards required by applicable law.

How long do we keep your information

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata will be saved indefinitely. We do this so that we can identify and automatically approve any subsequent comments without adding them to the pending queue.

For registered users of this website, we will also store the personal information provided by the user in their profile. All users can view, edit their personal information at any time (except for not being able to change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.
Registered users may submit an account deletion request via our privacy contact email. After account deletion, most personal data will be removed, except data we must retain for legal, security or administrative obligations.

Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against loss, unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure.

What rights do you have over your information

If you have an account on this site or have left a comment before, you have the following rights under applicable data‑protection law:

  • Right to access: request a copy of your personal data we hold;
  • Right to rectification: correct inaccurate personal information;
  • Right to erasure: request deletion of your personal data;
  • Right to restriction of processing: request limitation of how we process your data;
  • Right to data portability: receive an export file of your personal data;
  • Right to withdraw consent: you may withdraw your previously given consent at any time.

You can send your privacy‑related request to our privacy contact email [email protected]. We will respond to valid identity‑verified requests within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data‑protection supervisory authority.

Requests that are repetitive, excessive or unreasonable may be rejected or subject to reasonable administrative cost fees. This does not include data that we must retain due to management, regulatory, or security needs.

Our website is intended for general‑audience visitors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14 years old. If you believe we have collected information from a child without proper guardian consent, please contact us immediately.
