How long we keep your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are saved indefinitely. This is so that we can automatically recognize and approve your follow-up comments instead of keeping them in the approval queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide on their profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can view and edit this information.

However, this does not include data that we are required to store for administrative purposes, for site security purposes, or by law.
How we use your data
