What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Web Server Logs

Log files are maintained on our servers.  We use website logs to perform website traffic analysis, and to obtain data required for monitoring attempts of malicious activity.  The information collected may include visitor IP address, date and time, web pages accessed, browser agent, and (in the case of logged in users) user credentials.  These records are retained for up to three years.

Comments

Only registered users, who have logged in, can leave comments.  When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.  These records are retained for up to three years.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.  After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
