How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment or submit a form, the comment or submission 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.
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.

Data Integrity
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personally identifiable information we collect is relevant for the purposes for which it is to be used and that such information is reliable for its intended use and is accurate, complete, and current. However, we must rely on individual users to provide and maintain accurate personally identifiable information. You are responsible for contacting us to update or correct your personally identifiable information whenever necessary.
Retention of Personal Information
We will only retain personally identifiable information for as long as we are required to do so by applicable law(s), or for as long as necessary for the purpose(s) for which it is processed.
