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.

Comments

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.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and collect certain information. These technologies help us understand how users engage with our site and allow us to improve our marketing efforts and user experience.

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving 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.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in (if applicable), we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the content you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

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.

Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties except for third-party payment processors necessary to complete credit card transactions. These third parties are prohibited from using your information for any other purpose.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information in our database until you request its removal. We do not maintain credit card information after processing payments.

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.

Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information, including third-party encryption tools. However, no electronic transmission or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Geographic Restrictions

Our services are intended for use only by residents of New York City. By using our website or services, you acknowledge and agree that you are located in New York City.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access the personal information we have about you
Request correction of your personal information
Request deletion of your personal information
Opt-out of marketing communications

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
