What does WordPress do with members account information?
-
I have a friend who is leary of creating a WordPress account (to access my private blog), for fear of getting bombarded by advertisements, etc. What does WordPress do with the account information of someone who creates a WordPress account?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’ve been with WordPress for years. No adverts from them in all this time. One can subscribe to the WordPress blog for wp news and interesting articles, but it is also easy to unsubscribe if you change your mind.
Here are a couple of articles about the official privacy policies:

Note that if you have a blog, wordpress might put adverts on your blog to pay the bills for the free hosting here:

You are welcome. I hope your friend will be reassured. I’m only a volunteer but my experience with WordPress has been very good and I respect their company / business practices.
