What we do with your data

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. However this is not currently in use, although it may be.

For users that register on our websites (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their account 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.

You can also request that we erase, correct or restrict our processing of any personal data we hold about you. In the case of data held on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
