4 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.
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). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).
When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
5 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.
If you would at any time like to review, or change the information in your account or terminate your account, you can:
- Log into your account settings and update your user account
- Contact us using the contact information provided
Upon your request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, some information may be retained in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our Terms of Use and/or comply with legal requirements.
6 Children
We do not knowingly solicit data from or intend to appeal to children under 18 years of age. By using the website, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such minor and consent to such minor use of the website. If we learn that personal information from users under 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the accounts and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us immediately.
7 How we protect your data
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. For example, we strive to ensure all data is encrypted when in transit, and access to this data is strictly limited to a minimum number of individuals and subject to confidentiality commitments. We also monitor suspicious activities and perform frequent security scans to prevent and block potential attacks.
However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, you should only access our website within a secure environment and do not share your login credentials with anyone.
8 What data breach procedures we have in place
In case of a data breach, an administrator will immediately identify affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.
