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.

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.

Where we send your data

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

Amendments

Internet technology develops rapidly, requiring policies such as this one to be flexible and responsive to change. Consequently, ALP reserves the right to amend our privacy statement from time to time by posting the amended statement on our website, and sending a notice of update to our Alumni and email subscribers.
