Who we are
Our website address is: https://virginorpigeon.org. Who we are is irrelevant.
Comments
If visitors were able to leave comments on the site, we might collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. But comments and replies and discussions are disabled here. We simply don’t give two shits. For a short time, I was using a little JS blurb to grab user location info, for automatically calculating appropriate Resh times for them, but that became obnoxious. 99.9% of the planet don’t know what that information means, and 100% of the few that do already know. This website is a private project, and while you are welcome to be here, you are just as welcome to leave without a trace. There are some analytics on the site, but I’m not selling them or promoting products, or doing anything else that earns a penny. This site is about fun for me personally, not profit, nor fun for you.
The rest of this Privacy Page is just the stock crap the theme carried with it, because it is my understanding that some nations actually care about the privacy of their citizenry. And good for them. But I don’t care enough to bother rewriting this. So the take away here is you are welcome to visit, but I promise nothing except that I will not try to financially profit from you.
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.

How long we retain your data
Suggested text: 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.

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.
Where your data is sent
