Embedded content from other websites

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Wordfence
Wordfence is a web application firewall used on this Website for security purposes. Its role is to scan all traffic against an ever-changing set of security rules.
In the event of a visit breaking one of these rules, the firewall shares the IP address and other non-personal data with it’s developer, Defiant, Inc. (Privacy Policy) so they can protect other people from malicious IP addresses. This data will usually be deleted after 90 days but it may need to be extended in some cases (until the IP stops being malicious or goes offline).
Who we share your data with
For security and functional purposes, trusted plugins may collect some personal data on our website. The majority do not store any personal data, which is then located on our website database.
The security plugins we use may store some informations : our spam detection plug-in Akismet collects and stores personal data according to their Privacy Notice, as well as Wordfence as described above.

How long we retain your data
We keep the data you give us by subscribing to our newsletter as long as your subscription is active. We run regular maintenance actions to delete the data of subscribers with inactive status, such as unsubscribed or un-confirmed, so once you unsubscribe your data will be erased within a determined period of time that depends on the frequency of those operations. Please note that if you are still subsribed you can access your profile editing panel and change every information at any moment.
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.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
