We are a small business committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled safely and responsibly.

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to download and extract this data.
