What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
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.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Celebrity and Public Figure Information
To provide accurate, timely, and well-researched content, we may collect publicly available information about celebrities and other public figures. This information is gathered from sources across the public web, such as news articles, official statements, and social media profiles. In some instances, we may also obtain information by contacting the public figure or their authorized representatives directly. Any information collected in this manner is used solely for editorial and informational purposes on our website.

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.
