Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, I collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside 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.

Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
⸻
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you have visited those websites directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Purchases and Order Information
When you make a purchase through this website or via linked services (such as BookFunnel for ebooks or BookVault for print books), you may be asked to provide personal information such as your name, email address, and shipping address. This information is used only to process and fulfill your order and to communicate with you regarding your purchase.
I do not collect or store your payment information. Payments are securely processed by third-party services (such as PayPal, Stripe, or others depending on the platform).

How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
