8. Comments

When you leave comments on this blog, we collect the data as shown in the comments form, as well as the used IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. 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.

If you have left a comment and you would like to change it, you can navigate to the specific comment and press the ‘Edit’ button. If this does not work for you, or if you have any questions, please reach out to us at info [at] designforwp [dot] com.

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data.
  • Rectify inaccurate data.
  • Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Restrict or object to processing.
  • Data portability.
  • Withdraw consent at any time (for marketing).

To exercise these rights, contact us at info [at] designforwp.com.

10. Security

We implement industry-standard measures (encryption, access controls) to protect your data. However, no method is 100% secure.

11. Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes will likely be minor, Design for WP reserves the right to change this policy from time to time. We encourage visitors to check this page for updates on a regular basis. Continued use of this site after any change in the Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
