Who We Are
This website, located at https://aronprins.com, is my personal blog where I share thoughts, experiences, and insights. I am committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how I collect, use, and protect your personal information.
Information I Collect
Comments
When you leave comments on my blog, I collect:
- The information you provide in the comment form (name, email, website URL, and comment content)
- Your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection
- An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you have one through Gravatar) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the website, please be aware that:
- Images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS information) should be avoided
- Visitors can potentially download and extract location data from any images on the website
- I recommend removing location data from images before uploading them

- Avoid holding repeat commenters in moderation queues
- Maintain the integrity of blog discussions
