What data is collected?
Comments
When you leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected, and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Comments are checked through an automated spam detection service.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

How is your data stored?

How long is your data retained?
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Email newsletter data (first name and email address) is kept as long as you do not unsubscribe and the data shows you are actively engaging with the emails (that is, for example, opening them, pressing links on them.) If emails are not being engaged with your data may be deleted from the list.
