Who we share your data with
In order to make the information you requested accessible, we work together with third parties. Think of a website administrator, hosting party, automatic telephone connection, newsletter system and administration software. A so-called Processor Agreement has been concluded with all parties involved. This agreement guarantees, among other things, the security and the timely deletion of your personal data.
How long we keep your data
When you leave a comment, that comment and the metadata of that comment will be saved forever. This way we can automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of moderating them.
For users who register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
Security logs are kept for 60 days.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal information we hold about you, including any information you have provided to us. You can also request that we delete any personal information we hold about you. This does not include data that we are required to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Where we send your data
This site is scanned for potential malware and vulnerabilities by the iThemes Site scanner. We do not send any personal information to the scanner; however, the scanner may find personal information posted publicly (such as in comments) during the scan.
