Your comments and questions may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How long we retain your data

If you send a question via WPForms, the question itself, your name and email address (if provided) are retained indefinitely. This is so we can keep a record of all the questions received.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any other data you have provided to us. You can also request to erase any personal data we hold about you, but this doesn’t include any other data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
If you want, you can request to receive and/or erase all the questions you have asked via WPForms.
