Understanding Our Data Collection Practices for Enhanced Security
What We Collect
When you leave a comment on our site, we gather essential information from the comments form, including your name, email address, and website. Additionally, we log your IP address and browser user agent string to bolster our spam detection efforts.
Anonymity with Gravatar
If you use Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address (known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service. This allows us to check if you have an associated profile picture that can enhance the visibility of your comment.

Once your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture will be displayed publicly alongside your comment. This feature adds a personal touch to interactions while maintaining transparency about how we handle user data.

Understanding the Risks of Embedded Location Data
What is EXIF GPS Data?
EXIF GPS data is embedded information within your images that can reveal the exact location where the photo was taken. This metadata can be easily extracted by anyone who downloads your images from our website.
The Hidden Dangers of Sharing Location Data
Uploading images with embedded location data poses serious privacy risks. Anyone accessing your photos can pinpoint your whereabouts, potentially exposing you to unwanted attention or security threats. Protecting your personal information is crucial in today’s digital landscape.
Your Safety Matters: Take Control of Your Content
By avoiding the upload of images with EXIF GPS data, you ensure that your privacy remains intact. Our platform encourages users to be mindful and proactive about their online presence, helping you share content without compromising your safety.
How to Remove Location Data Before Uploading
We recommend using simple tools or apps to strip EXIF data from your images before uploading. This small step can make a significant difference in safeguarding your personal information while enjoying our website’s features.
Your Privacy is Our Priority
Stay informed and protect yourself while using our platform. Together, we can create a safer online environment for everyone.

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
