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.

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.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Opt-out

Contactless Donations will always provide recipients with an opportunity to opt-out or ‘unsubscribe’ from receiving further email content.  This is because we only want to send information to people who are interested in receiving it. Contactless Donations is responsible for responding to ‘opt-out’ or ‘unsubscribe’ requests when requested to do so.  In turn, our business partners are responsible for complying with all such requests by removing the appropriate person from their lists.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
