Children’s Privacy
Verdant Valley does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. We make reasonable efforts to prevent underage users from joining as members of Verdant Valley and will not collect any information from them. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has become a member, we will close their account and delete any information collected about them.
Notwithstanding the above, Verdant Valley may choose to retain some personal information, such as the child’s email address, in order to prevent the child from re-registering at our website. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) was enacted in April 2000, requiring websites worldwide to adjust their standards to avoid collecting information from children.

We urge you to use a unique password with both letters and numbers to protect your account on Verdant Valley and its affiliated websites. If others, including family, friends, or household members, access and use the message board through your login credentials, you are responsible for their actions. Your account will only be fully terminated in extreme cases.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
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 (if any), 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.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. 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 your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
