Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

Your Rights

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Automated Decision-Making
