What data we collect and why
Comments
If you leave a comment on this site, we collect your name, email address, website URL (if provided), and the content of your comment, along with your IP address and browser user agent string. This data is used to detect spam and manage comments. Your name and comment are visible to the public once approved. Your email address is not displayed publicly.
An anonymized version of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to display a profile picture. You can review the Gravatar privacy policy at automattic.com/privacy.
Contact form
If you contact me through a contact form, your name, email address, and message are sent to my email inbox and are not stored in the website database.

Embedded content from other websites
Some articles on this site include embedded content such as videos or images from third-party platforms. Embedded content behaves as if you visited those websites directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the content.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend tools I have personally used or researched. Clicking an affiliate link does not share any of your personal data with me.

How long we retain your data
