How long do we keep your data?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This way we can recognize and approve your follow-up comments automatically instead of leaving them in the moderation queue.

All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except by changing their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
