What personal data I store when and why

Personal information is only stored if you use the comment or publication functions of this website and only if these functions are active. At this time, you cannot post comments or post articles on this site.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, I store the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and user agent string (used to identify the browser) to help spam detection .

An anonymized character string (also known as a hash) can be created from your email address and passed to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

If you are a registered user and upload photos to this website, you should avoid uploading photos with an EXIF GPS location. Visitors to this website may download photos stored on this website and extract location information from them.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on this site, you may opt-in to store your name, email address and website in cookies on your computer. This is a convenience feature so that when you write another comment you don’t have to re-enter all of this data. These cookies are stored for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, I will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you log in, I will set some cookies to store your login information and viewing options in your computer’s browser memory. Login cookies expire after two days and display options cookies after one year. If you select “Keep me signed in” when registering, your registration will be kept for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be deleted.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only refers to the post ID of the article you just edited. The cookie expires after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking services, and record your interaction with that embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to this website. I have no influence on that.

With whom I share your data

In short: with nobody.

How long I store your data

If you write a comment, it will be stored indefinitely, including metadata. This way I can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on this website, I also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal information at any time (the username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

What rights you have to your data

If you have an account on this website or have written comments, you can request an export of your personal data from me, including any data that you have shared with me. In addition, you can request the deletion of all personal data that I have stored about you. This does not include data that I am required to keep for administrative, legal or security reasons.

Where do I send your data to

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
