Google analytics collects our website user behavior and Google Ad Words may use that information to provide targeted ads to those users. We will never sell or share our web traffic behaviors to any other third parties.
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.

Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
What third parties we receive data from
We receive data from GeoFencing agencies that use GPS technology to target ads to users that have entered a certain geographical area. We receive no other data about the person other than the GPS location area that they have visited during a certain time period. The reason this information is collected, is to better serve targeted ads to people who have visited a specific location.
