What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Personal Data
While using this website, we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information. Personal data can include email addresses and cookies and usage data.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help 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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
In addition, this data enables the administrator to reply to your comments via the email address you entered with your comment. Should you want to opt out of receiving a reply, simply uncheck the box that says “Subscribe to comment.”
Anti-spam detection is enabled for the security of this site. We collect information about visitors who comment on Sites that use our Akismet anti-spam service. The information we collect depends on how the User sets up Akismet for the Site, but typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).

If you leave a comment on this site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
All information that is collected is to enhance the visitor’s experience on this site and to keep the blog secure and safe.
Embedded content from websites other than this one
Posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
In addition, if you click on a link to any other site, you will be sent to that site. You are urged to review the privacy policy of those sites.

Who is your data shared with
I use third party suppliers for ads that appear on this site. These ads are provided through SheKnows Media. You may read their privacy policy here: http://www.sheknowsmedia.com/faq/ad-services-privacy-policy
In addition, your data is shared with Google Analytics as mentioned above.
IP addresses are shared with Security Providers to protect both this site and the users/readers of this site.
I do not sell or trade Personally Identifiable information.
“Do Not Track” Signals
I do not support Do Not Track. Do Not Track can be set as a preference in your web browser. It will inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. Visit the Settings or Preference pages of your browser to enable or disable Do Not Track.
Children’s Privacy
I do not market to children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you think your child has shared information that you would like removed, please contact me.
How long is your data retained
If you leave a comment on this site, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Analytics data is retained for 14 months.
For European Economic Area Residents: 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 keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service. In addition, IP addresses are monitored to detect hacking attempts; those IP addresses are encrypted or ‘hashed’. That information may be shared, if necessary, for investigative purposes.
Backups of this site are stored on servers in America and this blog is hosted by an American host.
How we protect your data
I do everything I can to protect your data through acceptable methods of security. But no method of data transmission or storage on the Internet is completely secure, therefore I cannot guarantee that security in every event.
What data breach procedures we have in place
Readers will be informed of any data breach on this blog via a post.
