What personal data I collect and why I collect the
Comments
When visitors write comments on the website, I collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (this identifies the browser) to help detect spam.
From your email address, an anonymized string can be created (also called hash) and handed over to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar Service’s privacy policy can be found here: https://automatic.com/privacy/. After your comment is shared, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
The use of my website is possible without providing any personal data.
Cookies
When you write a comment on my website, it may be consent to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a comfort feature so that when you write another comment, you don’t have to re-enter all that data. These cookies are stored for one year.
Embedded content from other websites
Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites can collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services, and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with embedded content in case you have an account and on This website is logged in.
How long I store your data
When you write a comment, it is stored indefinitely, including metadata. This way, I can automatically recognize and share follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on my website (not currently possible), I also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, modify or delete their personal information at any time (the username cannot be changed). Website administrators can also view and modify this information.
What rights you have to your data
If you have an account on this website or have written comments, you can request an export of your personal data with me, including any information you have provided to us. In addition, you can request the deletion of all personal data I have stored from you. This does not include the data I need to keep due to administrative, legal or security needs.
Where I send your data
Visitor comments could be investigated by an automated spam detection service.
