Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties except in the following cases:

How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep your personal information for as long as it’s necessary to provide our services to you and others, and to comply with legal obligations.
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Data Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement a variety of security measures to protect your data.
