For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile.

If I can’t delete them, then you’ll have to live with your decision to post a comment(s), and thereby accept the consequences and exposure. By using this website, you agree to these terms and conditions. If you’re worried about things you post being later out of your control, don’t post them or anything at all.
