The Information that We Collect

We collect personally identifiable information, including but not limited to your name and your email address. We do not collect any personally identifiable information unless you give your explicit consent. 

We collect non-sensitive data, such as your IP address. We use “cookies” to collate statistics on how you use our site. This is a standard practice that many commercial websites employ to monitor site usage. Our Cookie Policy explains this in more detail. 

We may collect non-personally identifiable, anonymous information like the number of website visits we receive. These statistics are used internally only and do not contain personal information. Nor can personal information be derived from these statistics.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

  • We use the information to customize and improve the user experience and to formulate relevant content for our readers.

  • To handle complaints or provide operational notices.

With Whom We Share Collected Information
