Our site address is: https://www.sitandheat.com.
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, the visitor's IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
An anonymised string created from your email address (this is also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service if you use it. The privacy policy page of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.
If you are a registered user and upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images containing EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to the site can download the images from the site and see the location data.
When you leave a comment on our site, you can specify whether your name, e-mail address and site may be stored in a cookie. We do this for your convenience so you don't have to re-enter these details for a new comment. These cookies are valid for one year.
If you visit our login page, we store a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted as soon as you close your browser.
Once you log in, we will store some cookies related to your login information and screen display options. Login cookies are valid for 2 days and cookies for screen display options are valid for 1 year. If you select "Remember me", your login will be saved for 2 weeks. Once you log out of your account, login cookies are deleted.
When you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie is stored by your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only holds the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie expires after one day.
Posts on this site may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, messages, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited this other site.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with this embedded content, including recording your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset e-mail.
When you leave a comment, that comment and its metadata are stored forever. This way, we can automatically recognise and approve follow-up comments instead of having to moderate them.
For users who register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
If you have an account on this site or you have left comments, you can request an export file of your personal data that we hold about you, including any data you have given us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data that we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Visitor responses may be monitored through an automated spam detection service.
