🗄️ How Long We Retain Your Data

Our data retention practices are designed to balance service quality with privacy protection:

• Registered Users: For users who create an account, we store the personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames, which cannot be changed). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
• Technical Logs: Server logs containing IP addresses and request data are retained for security and analytical purposes for a limited period, typically up to 90 days.

Additionally:

• Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service to protect our community from malicious content.
• Gravatar profile checks (as described above) involve sending an anonymized email hash to Automattic’s service.
• Analytics and performance tools may process aggregated, non-personally identifiable data to help us improve our website.
