When you submit a comment, its metadata is retained until (if) you tell me to remove it. I use this data so that I can recognise you and approve your comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

8. Security Measures
I use the SSL/HTTPS protocol throughout my site. This encrypts my user communications with the servers so that personally identifiable information is not captured/hijacked by third parties without authorization.
In case of a data breach, system administrators will immediately take all needed steps to ensure system integrity, will contact affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed.
9. Your Data Rights

You can also request that I erase any of the personal data we have stored. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. In short, I cannot erase data that is vital to you being an active customer (i.e. basic account information like an email address).
If you wish that all of your data is erased, I will no longer be able to offer any support or other product-related services to you.
