Comments posted on the Site will be monitored for inappropriate language, slander, defamation, and libel. SI reserves the right to moderate or delete any comment, at any time, for any reason. However, SI takes no responsibility for the opinions expressed in comments.
All comments and other feedback and submissions disclosed, submitted or offered to the Site shall be and remain SI’s property. If you submit comments and/or any feedback to the Site, you understand SI will be under no obligation to keep submissions confidential, and you grant SI worldwide rights, titles and interests in all copyrights and other intellectual properties to such submissions. SI will exclusively own all rights, titles and interests and not be limited in any way in their use. SI will be under no obligation to compensate you for such submissions.
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.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
PRIVACY
When you comment on a post, your email address is required to help the Site cut down on spam. When you contact SI through this Site’s contact form, your email address is required so your message can be replied to. In all of these cases, and when you sign up for the Site’s mailing list, your email address will never be shared or made public. The Site’s mailing list is managed by a third party, however, so you may want to review their privacy policy prior to subscribing.
The Site uses industry-standard software to track website traffic. Like most other traffic reporting software, it records limited information about users’ IP addresses, Internet service provider (ISP), how you were referred to this Site, web browser types, and the date and time web pages are loaded. This information is only used for in-house marketing purposes.
SI is the sole owner of information collected via this site. Again, this information will never be sold to a third party. The only time this information may be shared with a third party is when required by law.
