We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Our websites have SSL certificates which provide safety to the information you submit. Your information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent.

Visibility of Information

Note that if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Third-Party Links

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We, therefore, have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.

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.

Consent

By using our site, you consent to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to our Privacy Policy, you may get your information removed from our database and then stop using our websites.

If you have an account on this site, or 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.

Duration of storing your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page. It is your responsibility to keep checking this webpage for any further changes. Policy changes will apply only to information collected after the date of the change.
