If there is an option to leave a comment 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.

Leaving Comments

Currently, there is no feature on this site for leaving comments. However, should that change, if you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.  In such a case, should it become true in the future, it is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If we include a comments feature in the future and you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in or opt out to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. Please send us this request in written form to our email. Cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. Generally cookies will last for one year. If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If we add a comment feature to this site, visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
