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.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

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.

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.

For users that register on our website, 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.

We also use SSL/HTTPS throughout or site. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.

While breaches our unexpected given our preemptive security measures, Guidance Corporation’s System administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.
