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.

Cultural Contrarian Agreement
From time to time we may provide access to eBooks, educational content, which may include the Copyright Protection of Cultural Contrarian (© Cultural Contrarian 2022, All Rights Reserved). Items which are provided via the website, are intended for those who view or visit the website. Other items which will be made available will be bound to the terms of the Cultural Contrarian Private Membership Association. Newsletter issues are intended for “private citizens only”. Public distribution of the newsletter to non-private citizens would be a violation of the Privacy Agreement. Non-Private citizens are individuals who directly receive their compensation through taxpayer funds. This would also include individuals who are married or cohabitate with a non-private citizen. Non-private citizens will also include individuals who have an elected position absent of compensation but have indemnity provided through taxpayers. Any attempt to defraud Cultural Contrarian, which would be any method to obfuscate ones identity who would be a public servant or an elected official such as through fake (unverifiable email address, masked IP address), will be denied access. If determined that a public servant did violate the Privacy Agreement, through fraud, an invoice will be sent to the fraudster for the amount of $65.00 as restitution for the fraud. However, Cultural Contrarian will apply the $65.00 restitution to the subscription fee of $65.00/month for public servant access.
