Who we are
The author is William who operates home.woodchuckhunters.com/blog/ out of a personal residence in a non-professional, mostly not-for-profit capacity with the intention of archiving thoughts and ideas that reflect a stated point in time. It should be thought of as a semi-public diary.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on this 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. When non-visitors have comments imported from another source managed by the author, we collect only the username, website link, and comment text and cross link this data to other data at the author’s discretion.
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.

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.
Advertising/Money Exchange
The author reserves the right to serve advertising or solicit donations mostly, but not exclusively, from content originally published on this site to, at a minimum, recoup the expenses of maintaining the site. Author makes no claim to the content or suitability of such ads. Users agree that some of their viewing and browsing metadata may be shared to ad network and any donations made are irrevocable and non-refundable.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. At some point in the future, this site may become a printed document and be sent for professional archival. A digital backup of the entire site might also be made and placed in various locations in various formats for the purpose of archival and disaster recovery.
How long we retain your data; Where is it sent
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. At the author’s discretion, you may also have a user account created to cross-reference comments and metadata.
For data that was imported from LiveJournal and other social media sites, only data that was available to the author (e.g. username and comment text) was copied and remains retained for archival purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or own the rights to data that was added to the site, you can request to have personal data anonymized (which may include either removing or paraphrasing the comment at the owner’s discretion). This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
You may contact the author at any time, through any format, to request that a username be created to take ownership of some or all of your comment data (at the author’s discretion and ability). Author will attempt to perform all due-diligence before granting such ownership.
