Comments — What We Collect and How We Use It
When you leave a comment, our system automatically captures some technical information — such as your IP address and browser type — to help us detect and block spam.
We also create a cryptographic hash of your email address, which may be shared with an external service to check for an associated avatar. If one is found, it will be displayed alongside your comment after approval.
Uploading Photos and Other Media
Before uploading images, we recommend removing all metadata (such as GPS location data) to help protect your privacy. Otherwise, visitors could potentially access sensitive details embedded in your files.

Data Retention Policy
Comments and their associated metadata are stored indefinitely to streamline the moderation of future submissions.
Information linked to registered accounts is also retained. You may request a copy or deletion of your personal data at any time — however, your username will be preserved for administrative reasons.

Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
