Personal Data Associated with a Comment Form

The Comment form appears at the bottom of the page that displays the full text of an individual post. The Comment form prompts for username and email address, but these are not required in order to leave a comment and don’t have to be filled in in order to submit a comment. If the username is left out, it will be entered as “anonymous”; the email field for the comment will be left blank if none is entered.

All comments are saved for moderation by the site owner before being displayed, and are not made visible for viewing by others until approved.

When a comment is submitted, the IP address of the requesting device is also recorded with the comment. An IP is address has an associated “owner” which is usually a public internet access service (like Comcast or Verizon) or a place of business that provides internet access as part of conducting its business. The actual user is not specifically identified by an IP address.

None of the information (personal information or otherwise) submitted with any comments on this site is ever gathered or used for any promotional purposes.
