How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

What is the legal basis of processing?
Some jurisdictions require an explanation of the legal basis for collecting and processing Personal Data. We have several different legal grounds on which we collect and process Personal Data, including:
- as necessary to perform a transaction (such as when we respond to your requests);
- as necessary to comply with a legal obligation (such as when we use Personal Data for record keeping to substantiate tax liability);
- consent (where you have provided consent as appropriate under applicable law, such as for direct marketing or certain cookies); and
- necessary for legitimate interests (such as when we act to maintain our business generally, including maintaining the safety and security of the Site).
With respect to legitimate interests, we typically collect and process limited Personal Data about customer contacts and other individuals acting in their business capacities, as part of our overall effort to reduce the privacy impact on individuals.
What are the consequences of not providing personal data?
