10. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent. However, we may share personal data with:

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy unless a longer retention period is required by law (e.g., financial records for tax purposes).

  • If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
  • For users that register on our website (if any), we 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.

13. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

14. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures such as encryption (SSL), firewalls, and secure servers to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; therefore, while we strive to protect your data with commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

15. International Data Transfers

If you are located outside of the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data (including personal information) to servers located in the United States for processing. By using our services and providing us with your information, you consent to this transfer.

For users in the EEA: We ensure that any international transfers comply with GDPR requirements by implementing appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

16. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent as required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such data without proper consent, we will take steps to delete it immediately.

17. Changes To This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. If significant changes are made, we will notify users through email or a prominent notice on our website before these changes take effect.
