1. What Data We Collect and Why
We only collect personal data that is necessary for the specific purpose

collected.
2.1 Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect:
• Your name and email address (as entered in the comment form)
• Your website URL (optional)
• Your IP address and browser user agent string (for spam detection)
An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar
service to check whether you have a profile picture associated with it.
If you do, that picture will appear publicly next to your comment.
Gravatar is operated by Automattic, Inc. You can review their privacy
policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Legal basis (GDPR): Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) – to
maintain comment quality and prevent spam.
2.2 Media / Uploaded Images
If you upload images to the website (e.g., as part of a guest post or
profile), please be aware that uploaded images may contain embedded
location metadata (EXIF GPS data). We recommend removing this data from
images before uploading. Visitors to the website can download any image
and extract location data from it.
We do not actively collect or process EXIF data ourselves, but we cannot
prevent visitors from extracting it from publicly available files.
2.3 Cookies
We use cookies in the following ways:
Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving
your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is purely for

interact with our content. This involves cookies that collect information
about your device, browser, approximate location (country/city level),

Google Analytics may transfer data to Google LLC servers in the United
States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework,
which provides an adequate level of data protection. You can learn more
