Who we are

Our website address is: https://letterstothemoon.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with Gravatar to see if you use the service. Gravatar’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public with your comment.

Media

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit the login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set cookies to save your login and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen options cookies last one year. If you select "Remember Me", your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved that includes no personal data and indicates the post ID. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images). Embedded content behaves the same as if you visited the other website.

Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

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

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

If you register on our website (if any), we store the personal information in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except you cannot change your username). Website administrators can also view 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 an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
