Who we are

In Short
I don’t have any interest in tracking you. If you are concerned about cookies on this site, feel free to use the ad/cookie blocker of your choice; everything here should function as expected. That said, some cookies are employed here, and we will collect some data from you depending on how you interact with this site.
Comments and Contact
When you leave comments on this site or use the contact form to email us, we collect the data you provide to us (e.g., your name and email address) along with your IP address and browser user agent string; among other things, these allow us to reply to your communications with us as well as to help with spam detection.
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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we 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.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a 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 includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 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 has 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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
With whom we share your data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Your email provider likely scans your inbox for this type of data and will almost certainly use it to correlate you with your web activity here. If you are uncomfortable with this, you should consult your email provider’s privacy policy for recourse. (On a side note, it’s easy to make strong arguments against using GMail, Outlook.com, and Yahoo for your mail service…)
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have posted comments, we will do our best to comply with any request you might make to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, and again, we will do our best to comply. Do note, however, that (1) As of this writing, here in Kansas, we are not required by law to comply with such requests, and (2) We will not delete any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
