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.
Contact forms
Information provided in forms will be sent to individuals working on the site and may be retained indefinitely, though it will not be disclosed beyond whatever is required to address the purpose of the contact.
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 leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (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.
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.
Analytics
We use anonymous analytics to assess the popularity of certain content or authors on the site.
Who we share your data with
No one… Absolutely no one.
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 (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your contact information
Will not be shared but we may contact you about site administration or content issues.
Community Policy
Inclusiveness
We are trying to create a web site and community that is safe and welcoming. Please be considerate in your posts. We want to include all people under the trans umbrella, including non-binary, gender non-conforming, trans-friendly, trans-curious, etc. Really… anyone and everyone who wants to participate.
Please be respectful of others opinions. Not everyone is going to agree all the time. Please refrain from ugly/nasty/hurtful comments or postings. If you feel someone is being abusive, please report them, but do not respond. That’s what a bully wants. We want to encourage people to connect and have discussions and exchange information and ideas.
Pronouns
If using pronouns, please try to be inclusive. If directly addressing another member, please use the pronouns they have indicated as appropriate.
Inappropriate content
If you see something that you find offensive, contact us. If we see something we consider offensive (or it’s reported to us) we’ll try to contact the author and discuss the matter. If they simply said something in a less than ideal way, we’ll try to address it with an update. If we consider there to be some intent to harm, we’ll remove the content and user.
