How long we keep your information
If you write a comment, the comment and its metadata will be saved without a time limit. The reason for this is that we need to be able to find and approve follow-up comments automatically and not queue them for review.
For users who register on your site (if available), we also save the personal information they enter in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their user name). The site’s administrators can also view and edit this information.
