What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When you as a visitor leave comments on this site, we collect the data you enter in the comments form. We also collect your IP address and information about the web browser you use, in order to detect and remove spam.

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 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 in the future want to leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, maps, 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track what pages you look at, and how you move from page to page on the site. We also track anonymous information about you, such as what country you probably visit us from, what kind of equipment you use, and so on. This is done so that we can understand who the visitors to this site are. The information is used to decide what kind of content is most popular and what kind of presentation methods we can use to give you the best possible experience. To be precise; we can not see what YOU as an individual do on this site, we only look at aggregated number for all visitors to the site as a whole.

Who we share your data with

Your information is not shared with anyone else but Bjørn himself.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments on this page and you want us to remove them, just tell Bjørn. He will need some kind of evidence that you actually are the person who left the comment. This will probably not be a big issue. Just write a friendly e-mail, and this will be sorted out.

Where we send your data

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