Privacy Policy (A.K.A. The Fine Print Nobody Reads)
Comments
So you decided to leave a comment. Well, I’ll be… bold move, Bubba.
When you do, we collect whatever you felt compelled to type, along with your IP address and browser info. Why? Because the internet is slap full of bots, knuckleheads, and folks trying to sell us crypto like it’s the last brisket at Killen’s. We’re just trying to keep this place from turning into a digital yard sale nobody asked for.
We might also send a scrambled-up version of your email (they call it a “hash,” which sounds like something you’d order at a greasy spoon) over to Gravatar so your profile picture can show up next to your comment. If that ruffles your feathers, take it up with them: https://automattic.com/privacy/
Once your comment is approved, it’s out there for the whole wide world—like hollerin’ something questionable across a Buc-ee’s parking lot at noon on a Saturday.
Media
If you upload images, maybe don’t include your exact GPS coordinates unless you’re fixin’ to have company you didn’t invite.
Seriously—your photo might be carryin’ around hidden location data like a roughneck at a Baptist revival. We ain’t stopping you… just don’t come crying when somebody figures out exactly where you were standing when you took that selfie.
Cookies
Yes, we use cookies. No, they are not warm, fresh, or served with milk. Life is full of disappointments.
If you leave a comment, you can save your name, email, and website so you don’t have to keep typing it like you’re back on dial-up. These cookies hang around for a year—longer than most folks stick to a diet.
When you visit the login page, we drop a temporary cookie just to see if your browser can handle its business. It disappears when you close the browser, like a good guest who knows when it’s time to head on down the road.
When you log in, we set cookies to remember who you are and how you like things. Two days for login, one year for preferences. Hit “Remember Me,” and we’ll remember you for two weeks—longer than some folks remember to pay their water bill.
Log out, and those cookies get run off quicker than a stray dog at suppertime.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Sometimes we pull in content from other websites—videos, images, articles… the whole enchilada.
When you interact with that stuff, it’s like you just wandered onto their front porch on Saturday night. They can track you, drop cookies, and generally keep tabs on you like that neighbor who can look through a keyhole with both eyes.
If you’re already logged into those sites… well… bless your heart and buckle up.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address tags along in that email. That’s just how the sausage gets made—don’t ask too many questions.
Other than that, we’re not out here hawking your data like boiled peanuts on the side of the highway in DeLeon. We’ve got bigger fish to fry.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, we keep it. Forever. Like that one story your uncle tells that somehow gets longer every Thanksgiving.
Why? So we recognize you next time and don’t act like we’ve never met.
If you register (and that’s a big “if”), we store whatever info you hand over. You can edit or delete it whenever you please—except your username. That thing’s sticking around like a bad haircut.
Admins can also see and edit your info. Don’t worry—they’ve had their coffee and at least one of them knows what they’re doing.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
You can request a copy of your data if curiosity gets the better of you. We’ll hand it over, no fuss, no drama.
You can also ask us to delete it. We’ll oblige—unless the law says otherwise, in which case Uncle Sam steps in and we all just nod and move along.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Your comments might get run through automated spam filters. Because if we had to sort through that mess ourselves, we’d have shut this thing down, sold the domain, and gone fishing on Sam Rayburn by now.
Final Word
Look—this is the internet. Data gets collected. Cookies get dropped. Somewhere, something is watching what you click.
We’re not doing anything shady, underhanded, or worthy of a late-night conspiracy podcast… just the same basic nonsense every other website is doing.
If that makes you nervous, you can unplug your router, head out west, and start raising goats where the Wi-Fi don’t reach… or San Angelo, whichever comes first.
Otherwise… pull up a chair. You’re already here.
