Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser information to help with spam detection.
If you’re using Gravatar, an anonymized email hash may be sent to check for an avatar. Gravatar Privacy Policy
Media
If you upload images, avoid using photos with location (EXIF GPS) data, as others can download and extract that information.

Embedded content from other websites

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data
Comments: If you leave a comment, it and its details are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically approve future comments instead of holding them for review.
User Accounts (if any): For users who register on our site, we store the personal information they provide in their profile.
Users can view, edit, or delete their personal info anytime (except username).
Website administrators can also access and edit this data.
We keep your data only as long as necessary to provide our services and meet legal or security obligations.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Ask us to delete any of your data we store.
This does not include data we’re required to keep for legal, security, or administrative reasons.
To make a request, just contact us via Instagram, WhatsApp, or email — we’re happy to help!
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to keep the site safe and secure.
We do not sell or transfer your personal data to any third parties outside of trusted services used for security or delivery (if applicable).
