Data Storage Period
When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so that follow-up comments can be automatically recognized and approved, instead of keeping them in the moderation queue.
If a user registers with this site, we will store the personal information they provide on their user profile page. All users can view, edit, and delete their personal information (but not change their user name). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account on this site or have ever left a comment on the site, you can make a request to receive the personal data we hold about you (including all data you have provided) as an export file. You may also make a request to have your personal data erased. This does not include data that we are obligated to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
