Who We Share Your Data With

Security

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email as a security measure.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For users that register on our website (if any), we store personal information provided in the user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete personal information at any time (except usernames). Administrators can also view and edit that information.
