Embedded content from other websites

Content on this site may include embedded items (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Please know that these websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

What and who we share your data with

When visitors register for email updates, we collect the data shown in the registration form.  We use the information strictly for managing email updates, and validating incoming comments. This data will be managed securely by us, and will not be sold, or given to any third party.

Also know that the Canadian web hosting company we are using does capture the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help in spam detection.

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.

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.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide to us in their user profile. 

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be manually checked by an administrator, and/or checked through an automated spam detection service.
