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.

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information. You may request that we limit the processing of your personal information if: (a) you contest the accuracy of the information and we are verifying the accuracy of the information, (b) the information has been unlawfully processed and you oppose erasure, (c) we no longer need the personal data but you need us to keep it in order to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim, or (d) you have objected to us processing your data and we are considering whether our legitimate grounds override your own.
