How long do we store your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments 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).
What rights do you have in relation to your data?
If you have an account on this site or have left a comment, you may request an exported file of the personal information we hold about you, including the information you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not apply to data that we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
