WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO I COLLECT AND WHY DO I COLLECT IT
Geordstoree cares a lot about your privacy. This page is designed to outline what personal information is gathered and how it is used.
The WordPress platform is used to run this website. By default, WordPress does not collect any personal data about its visitors. It only collects data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. Being a registered user is not a requirement to access this website and is disabled by default.
However, WordPress allows plugins, contact forms, comments, widgets, and third-party embeds. All of these are used on this website and, as such, may collect personal technical data, such as information about cookies. This may be done by simply visiting a page or by user interaction with contact and comment forms.
COMMENTS
When you post comments on this site I collect the data you submit via the comment form. This includes your email, name (or nickname), IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may also 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 Gravatar profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

When using the contact form on this site, your consent to the information you provide is processed and then securely sent in the form of an email to my email address. No information is stored on my server. Once the email has been sent, the information you provided on the form is deleted.
The information required by the form includes your name and your email address. These are used solely to reply to your query or question.
