In this privacy policy, we outline the types of data we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to protect your information.

We Like Clean Comments

When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam. Additionally, if you have a Gravatar account, an anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture alongside your comment.

We Use Original Kid Friendly Media

If you choose to upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding including location data (EXIF GPS) within the image files. Visitors to the site can download and extract this information from images on the website.

Cookies

When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal data and will be discarded when you close your browser.

If you log in to your account, we will set up additional cookies to save your login information and screen display choices.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles, to other websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website. These websites may 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 in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Rest assured that we take necessary precautions to protect your data and only share it when required.

Data Retention

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

Website administrators also have access to and can edit this information.

If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request the deletion of your personal data, with the exception of any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to ensure the integrity of our website.
