Technical and usage information
WordPress.com and its services may receive information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referral source, access time, approximate location and interactions with the site. This supports hosting, security, spam prevention and aggregated site statistics.

CONTACT FORMS & RETENTION
What happens when you send a message
Contact-form submissions are stored in the WordPress.com/Jetpack Forms dashboard and may be sent by email to the site operator. WordPress.com uses Akismet to screen form submissions for spam; this can involve the details submitted together with IP address, user agent and page information.
Ordinary enquiries and related correspondence are normally kept for no longer than 24 months, unless a longer period is reasonably needed for continuing correspondence, safeguarding, dispute resolution or a legal obligation. Spam and technical records may follow WordPress.com and Automattic retention practices.
Contact-form details are not used to add you to a marketing list. When you subscribe, WordPress.com receives the email address you provide and uses it to send new-post notifications from Psychedelic Medicine Report. Subscription details are kept for as long as the subscription remains active or as required for security and record-keeping. You can unsubscribe using the link in any notification email. Subscription information is processed by Automattic/WordPress.com, is not combined with contact-form enquiries and is not sold by Psychedelic Medicine Report.
