How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, it will be removed and deleted, however the comment and its metadata could be retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and remove any follow-up comments in a moderation queue.
For users with a website login, 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. The site will also log the date and time of your login.

Where your data is sent
Comments
Visitor comments are not enabled by default. If settings allow for comments these may be checked through an automated spam detection service
Automattic
The site uses Jetpack Stats, a plug-in provided by Automattic
The Jetpack Stats feature tracks your site visits and other valuable insights, so you can drive more traffic to your website
Data used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, and country code. Important: the site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.
Activity tracked: Post and page views, video plays (if videos are hosted by WordPress.com), outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load when this feature is enabled, including the JavaScript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites to make sure that our plugin and code are not causing performance issues. This includes tracking page load times and resource loading duration (image files, JavaScript files, CSS files, etc.). The site owner has the ability to force this feature to honor DNT settings of visitors. By default, DNT is currently not honored.
