Comments

When users leave comments on our site, we collect the information they provide, including their IP address and browser details, to help with spam prevention.

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be displayed alongside it if available.

Media

If you upload images, ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as other users may download and extract such information.
