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.

Embedded content from other websites

Regarding videos streamed from Youtube or Vimeo, embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited these websites.

How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
