Contact Forms
Comments:
As of June 15, 2018, the Blog Comment Box and associated text boxes have been disabled as a security precaution. Prior to June 15, 2018, when visitors left comments on Blog postings, the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection or malicious users or bots. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. We do not reply to users comments, compile, or share users information as a business objective, and we permanently delete all users’ comments in the comment queue within 48 hours. There as above this policy also applies to messages sent from the Contact form.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user 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 any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Again, we do not reply to users comments, compile, or share users information as a business objective, and we permanently delete all users’ comments in the comment queue within 48 hours.
