• Our System administrator
• Our website supporters, when they need to (to provide support) get the information about the client accounts and access.
How long do we retain your data
When you submit a comment, its metadata is retained until (if) you notify us to remove it. We use this data so that we can recognize you and approve your comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.
Additionally, if you register on our website, your personal information is stored in the user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information except changing your username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
How we protect your data and what data breach procedures we have in place
We protect customer data with the following site features:
• We are entirely using SSL/HTTPS throughout all our sites. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.
• Databases are sanitized (actual user personal details are removed) before deploying to a development or testing environment.
In case of a data breach, System administrators will immediately go through affected users and attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.
