How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

In case we realize that children younger than 13 did send personal information to us, we will immediately delete it from our servers. If you are a parent or tutor and you know that your child did share personal information with us, please contact us immediately so that we can take action.
