PRIVACY POLICIES
What personal data do we collect and why?
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to assist in spam detection.
An anonymous string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Next Level Strategy service to check if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
Website visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select "Remember Me," your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include personal data and simply indicates the 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 in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.
How long do we retain your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and automatically approve successive comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
What rights do you have over your data?
If you have an account or have left comments on this website, you can request to receive an export file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where do we send your data?
Visitor comments may be reviewed by an automated spam detection service.
