Patreon Authentication & Subscriber Data
When you log into Quanthammer using Patreon, we authenticate your credentials via Patreon’s secure OAuth Single Sign-On (SSO) service. Through this process, we receive limited profile and pledge data from Patreon, which includes:
- Your Patreon user ID and display name
- Your associated account email address
- Your active membership tier and pledge status
How We Use This Data: This information is processed strictly to verify your subscriber status, authenticate your identity, and grant access to gated tools, statistical models, and premium content on Quanthammer.com. We do not process, receive, or store your credit card details or payment billing information; all financial transactions are handled directly and securely by Patreon.
Data Retention & Removal: We retain authentication tokens and associated user records only for as long as your account remains connected or active. You may revoke Quanthammer’s access to your Patreon account at any time through your Patreon account settings, or contact us to request the permanent deletion of your local WordPress profile data.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, alongside the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in 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 (Gravatar privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/). After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or interactive frames). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These third-party services may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Who We Share Your Data With
- If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered Patreon users, we store the personal profile information provided until the account is disconnected or deleted.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
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 retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
