With Whom Do We Share Personal Data?
The only data shared with third party organizations are specific to fulfillment of contracted services. Data is only stored temporarily for a maximum of 30 days beyond completion of contracted services.
How Long Do We Retain Personal 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.
For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, update, or delete their information at any time, with the exception of their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators also have access to view and manage this information.
User Rights Over Personal Data:
If you have an account on our site, or have previously left comments, you can request an exported file of your withheld personal data, including any you have provided us. You can also request that we erase any personal data previously submitted. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where is Personal User Data Shared?
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
