We are dedicated to maintaining the trust and privacy of our visitors. This policy explains how we collect, process, and protect your personal data when you engage with our website.
By using our website and services, you acknowledge and agree to the practices detailed here. This policy has been in effect since 23 February 2026.
We believe in minimal data footprints. We only collect what is strictly necessary to provide a great experience. This generally falls into two categories:
We don’t just collect data for the sake of it. We use it to make your experience smoother. Specifically, your data helps us:
We don’t hand out your info like flyers on a street corner. We only share it with a small “inner circle” to keep things running:
Sometimes we’ll point you toward other cool websites, platforms, or tools that we think you’ll find useful. Just a heads-up: once you click a link and leave our digital front door, our house rules no longer apply.
We love it when you join the conversation! When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you type into the form. However, there’s a little bit happening behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly:
We want to make sure you aren’t accidentally sharing more than you intended when you upload images to our site. Since our platform allows other visitors to download and extract location data (EXIF GPS) from images, we strongly recommend that you strip any hidden GPS tags from your files before uploading them for your own privacy and security.
To keep our site safe and our inbox clean, we use automated spam detection services to review any messages or comments you send us through our contact forms.
We use a variety of industry-standard safeguards to protect your personal info from being accessed, shared, or changed by unauthorised parties. However, since no internet-based system is ever 100% bulletproof, we cannot guarantee absolute security for every transmission you send our way.
If you leave a comment on our site, you have the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is designed entirely for your convenience and to make your experience better, as it saves you from having to type in your personal info every single time you want to leave a new comment. These specific cookies will remain valid for one year.
When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie just to see if your browser is set up to accept them. This cookie doesn’t collect any of your personal data and is automatically wiped from your browser the moment you close it.
Once you log in, we create several cookies to securely remember your login details and how you like your screen to look. Your login cookies stay active for two days, so you can easily access your account during that time, while your screen preference cookies last for a full year to keep your custom settings in place long-term. If you choose the “Remember Me” option, your login will stay active for two weeks. Whenever you choose to log out, the system will automatically clear out those login cookies for you.
If you edit or publish an article, a small additional cookie is saved in your browser. This doesn’t store any of your personal info – it simply holds the post ID of the specific article you just worked on. This cookie is set to expire after one day.
Articles on our site may feature embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from external sources. When you engage with this content, it is exactly as if you had visited the original website directly. Consequently, these external sites might gather data about you, use their own cookies, include additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with that embedded content – especially if you happen to be logged into an account on their platform at the time.
If you leave a comment, we keep the text and its metadata indefinitely. This helps us recognise and automatically approve any follow-up comments you post instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information provided in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal details at any time, with the exception of your username, which cannot be changed. Our website administrators also have access to view and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided to us. You also have the right to ask us to erase any personal data we maintain, though this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Our website and services are not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not intentionally gather personal information from minors, and if you believe we have accidentally collected data from a child in this age group, please reach out to us immediately so we can address it.
If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or our privacy practices, please contact us.
We may modify this Privacy Policy as our services evolve. Any updates will be posted on this page, and we will refresh the “Effective Date” at the top to reflect the most recent version. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
We appreciate you trusting us with your personal data. Your privacy is a priority for our team, and we are dedicated to keeping your information safe and sound.
