Use of Data: The theme value stored in your local storage is exclusively used for the purpose of maintaining a consistent visual experience on our website according to your preference. This information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or shared with any third parties.

Giscus Commenting System

We have integrated the Giscus commenting system on our website to facilitate community discussions. Giscus is a system that leverages GitHub’s discussions feature, allowing users to comment on our content by using their GitHub accounts.

How It Works: To post a comment through the Giscus system, you must be logged into your GitHub account. Comments are then stored in a GitHub repository as issues or discussion posts and displayed on our website through the Giscus integration.

Data Collection and Processing: By using Giscus, your comments, along with your GitHub username and profile picture, will be visible on our website and associated with the content you’re commenting on. Additionally, Giscus may collect and process technical data such as your IP address and browser type to ensure the functionality of the commenting system.

Use of Data: The primary purpose of collecting this data is to facilitate community interaction and discussion related to our content. The data is processed and stored by GitHub as governed by their privacy policy. We do not use this data for marketing purposes or share it with any third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law.

GitHub’s Role: It’s important to note that the Giscus system acts as a bridge between our website and GitHub’s services. Therefore, your interaction with the Giscus commenting system is also subject to GitHub’s terms of service and privacy policy. We encourage you to review these documents to understand how GitHub handles your personal information.
