How long we keep your data

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. We do this so that we can automatically recognize and approve any subsequent comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (it is only not possible to change your username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
