What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
When you leave comments on our site, we gather the data shown in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection.
If you use a Gravatar, an anonymized string derived from your email address (referred to as a hash) might be sent to the Gravatar service. You can read the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you’re uploading images to our website, be cautious about including location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract this data from images on our site.
Cookies
When you comment on our site, you might choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will last a year.
If you have an account and log into our site, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we’ll also set several cookies to save your login info and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, while display option cookies last a year. If you choose “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies are deleted.
If you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and merely indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after a day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our articles might have embedded content (like videos, images, articles, etc.). This content from other websites behaves as if you visited those sites directly.
These sites might collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on Digital Update Central, we store the personal information they provide in their profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except by changing their username). Our website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on Digital Update Central, you can request an exported file of the personal data we have about you, including any data you’ve given us. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we have about you. This doesn’t include data we’re required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where We Send Your Data
Comments from visitors might be vetted through an automated spam detection service.
