Who we share your data with

We will NOT sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes or any other purposes, except as described in this Privacy Policy. 

How long we retain your data

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.

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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. 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.  You have the right to access and update your personal information, request the deletion of your personal information, and opt-out of receiving communications from us.
