How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments without placing them in a moderation queue.

All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (though they cannot change their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information. Curiosity Pings is committed to maintaining user privacy and ensuring a secure experience.

Where we send your data
