Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you order or leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for about one year, at least as things are now set up.
If you visit our login page, the site will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, the site will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for some amount of time, usually 2 weeks, but stuff can change as I improve security. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article here, which you won’t, because this is a weird shop in the backwaters of the inter-tubes, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It usually expires after 1 day, but no promises.
You are encouraged to clear your cookies and caches after visiting to remove unwanted cookies. Please trust your own manual clearing over any guidelines on cookie expiration times listed above.
Embedded content from other websites
Content on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has 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, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website– another good reason to manually clear your cache.
Clearing your cache is like Mr Rogers putting on his sweater and house shoes when he got home. Clearing your cache is like washing your hands before eating. Who knows what little creepy crawlies you’ve picked up along the way?
Who “we” share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long “we” retain your data
You currently cannot leave any comments on this site. If comments are opened and you do leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), the site also stores the personal information provided in your user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators (that would be me, the Reverand), can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data the site holds about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that knappen.org erase any personal data being held about you. This does not include any data needed for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor activity may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
And, thanks.
What strange movement of the Spirit led you to this site and these words, I will never know. Thanks for stopping by.
