WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT

Comments

When visi­tors post comments on the site, we collect the data dis­play­ed in the com­ment form, as well as the visi­tor’s IP address and the user agent string (this iden­ti­fies the brow­ser) to help detect spam.

An anony­mi­zed string can be crea­ted from your email address (also cal­led a hash) and pas­sed to the Gra­va­tar ser­vice to veri­fy that you are using it. The pri­va­cy poli­cy of the Gra­va­tar ser­vice can be found here: https://​auto​mat​tic​.com/​p​r​i​v​a​cy/. After your com­ment is appro­ved, your pro­fi­le pic­tu­re will be publicly visi­ble in the con­text of your comment.

Cookies

When you post a com­ment on our web­site, it may be a con­sent to store your name, email address and web­site in coo­kies. This is a con­ve­ni­en­ce fea­ture so that when you post ano­t­her com­ment, you don’t have to enter all that data again. The­se coo­kies are stored for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a tem­pora­ry coo­kie to deter­mi­ne if your brow­ser accepts coo­kies. This coo­kie does not con­tain any per­so­nal data and is dis­car­ded when you clo­se your browser.

When you sign up, we will set up some coo­kies to store your log­in infor­ma­ti­on and viewing opti­ons. Log­in coo­kies expi­re after two days and dis­play opti­on coo­kies expi­re after one year. If you select „Stay log­ged in” when you regis­ter, your regis­tra­ti­on will be main­tai­ned for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the log­in coo­kies are deleted.

When you edit or publish an arti­cle, an addi­tio­nal coo­kie is stored in your brow­ser. This coo­kie does not con­tain any per­so­nal data and only points to the post ID of the arti­cle you just edi­ted. The coo­kie expi­res after one day.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this web­site may con­tain embed­ded con­tent (e.g. vide­os, images, arti­cles, etc.). Embed­ded con­tent from other web­sites beha­ves exact­ly as if the visi­tor had visi­ted the other website.

The­se web­sites may collect infor­ma­ti­on about you, use coo­kies, embed addi­tio­nal third par­ty tracking ser­vices, and record your inter­ac­tion with that embed­ded con­tent, inclu­ding your inter­ac­tion with the embed­ded con­tent if you have an account and are log­ged into that website.

WITH WHOM WE SHARE YOUR DATA

HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR DATA

If you wri­te a com­ment, it will be stored inclu­ding meta­da­ta for an unli­mi­ted time. This way, we can auto­ma­ti­cal­ly detect and appro­ve fol­low-up comments ins­tead of hol­ding them in a mode­ra­ti­on queue.

For users who regis­ter on our web­site, we also store the per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on they pro­vi­de in their user pro­files. All users can view, chan­ge or dele­te their per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on at any time (the user­na­me can­not be chan­ged). Site admi­nis­tra­tors can also view and modi­fy this information.

WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE TO YOUR DATA

If you have an account on this site or have pos­ted comments, you may request an export of your per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on from us, inclu­ding any infor­ma­ti­on you have pro­vi­ded to us. In addi­ti­on, you can request the dele­ti­on of all per­so­nal data that we have stored about you. This does not inclu­de data that we are requi­red to retain due to admi­nis­tra­ti­ve, legal or secu­ri­ty needs.

WHERE WE SEND YOUR DATA

Visi­tor comments could be exami­ned by an auto­ma­ted ser­vice for spam detection.
