2. What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We collect certain types of information about our visitors and subscribers as explained below.
We do this to protect against spam, to check how the site is performing, to manage our subscriber database, and to send e-mails to our subscribers.
2.1 Anti-spam: Akismet
We use the Akismet anti-spam service to prevent spam comments from being posted on the site, which waste everyone’s time.
Akismet is an anti-spam service from Automattic Inc. This service uses various types of data to confirm that each comment comes from a legitimate source.
Automattic’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/
When you leave a comment on this site, we collect any data in the comments form as well as your IP address. An anonymized string is created from your e-mail address and provided to the Akismet service.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, e-mail address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again if you leave another comment. These cookies expire in one year.

2.4 Embedded content from other websites
Pages on this site may include embedded content such as articles, images, videos, and so on. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same as if you visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

5. How we protect your data
We have adopted three significant measures to help protect your personal information:
- Every page on this website is encrypted with HTTPS. This protects you from intruders who could try to listen in and tamper with your communications with this site.
- New subscribers sign up with a two-factor authentication process. This confirms your identity and makes sure that you really want to subscribe.
- All our staff use two-factor authentication to sign into WordPress. This confirms the identity of our team members who log into our website with enough credentials to gain unauthorized access to your personal information.
Beyond that, every service provider we work with is an established vendor with a proven track record. All our service providers are keenly aware of the need to protect the personal information of their clients. To the best of our knowledge, none of our service providers has ever experienced a major data breach.
6. Will we share your data with others?
We will never sell, rent, loan, or give your personal information to any other party without your consent.
