At Suninsulae (accessible from https://suninsulae.org), your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you interact with our website.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://suninsulae.org.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Visitors to the website may download and extract location data from images on the site.
4. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. These may include:
- Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- Login cookies: When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. It is discarded when you close your browser.
- When you log in, we set cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences.

5. 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 the same as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. Any data shared is solely for operational, legal, or security purposes.
7. 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 follow-up comments automatically.
For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for changing their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
8. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive a file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request the erasure of any personal data we hold, excluding data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
