Below, we describe what personal data we collect from each source and why we collect this data.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and your browser user agent string to help detect spam.
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.

If you submit a contact/subscription form entry, we collect and process your:

- other details.
If you enter any personal data into a contact/subscription form but do not submit the entry, we also collect that data from the abandoned form.
If you submit a contact/subscription form entry while being offline, we further collect that data when you get online.
To safeguard your subscription and verify your email address, we use double opt-in. This means that, after you subscribe on our site, you have to confirm your subscription by clicking a link that we email you. Until you click that link, you are not subscribed.
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter (email list) at any time. The unsubscribe link is available at the bottom of our emails.
Surveys, Polls, and Quizzes
We collect, process, and store your answers to our surveys, polls, and quizzes.
We use those survey/poll/quiz answers to provide you better materials and services.
Cookies and API Integration
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to save 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.
We also apply Google Analytics, which uses cookies to measure user interactions (including first-party data) and Google signals to personalize ads. For details, please refer to the Google Analytics privacy.
Additionally, we use Meta (former Facebook) pixel and Conversions API integration to track site visitors, collect visitor data (including zero-party data), measure ad conversions, and retarget ads on Meta (including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp). For details, please refer to the Meta privacy policy.
Embedded/Linked Content
This site includes embedded or linked content (e.g., videos, maps, images, publications etc) from other websites. For example, we use YouTube video embeds. Such embedded content behaves exactly the same as if you have 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (including ) to track traffic and apply retargeting on our site.
For details, please refer to the Google privacy policy.
With Google signals active, Google Analytics associates the visitation information it collects from our site with Google information from accounts of signed-in users who have consented to this association for the purpose of ads personalization. This Google information may include your location, search history, YouTube history, and data from sites that partner with Google. This information is used to provide aggregated and anonymized insights into your cross-device behaviors.
These features are subject to the Google Analytics Advertising Features policies.
Data Retention Term
We store your personal data indefinitely. We can erase your personal data at any time at our own discretion.
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.

We use your personal data for communication, marketing, and client service purposes. For example, we use your personal data to email you our newsletters about our blog posts, articles, alerts, memos, news, updates, promotions, and special offers.
Data Sharing
