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

You can also ask to delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data that we have to comply with for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments can be checked through an automatic spam detection service.
