This privacy policy describes our procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of your information when you visit this website and tells you about your privacy rights. By visiting and using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Collecting, Using, and Retaining Your Data
Usage Data — Usage data is collected automatically when you use this website. This can include information like your device’s Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of the website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data. Your usage data is used to monitor the usage of our website in aggregate and for data analysis of that usage, helping us make decisions about the website and its operation. This data is retained for internal analysis purposes and is generally retained for a shorter period of time.
Comments — If you leave comments on this site, we collect the comment itself, as well as your IP address. Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. 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 (if you have one) is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Comments and their 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.
Email Newsletter — If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will collect your name and email address in order to send you our newsletter (and nothing else). This information is sent to MailerLite (https://www.mailerlite.com/), the service that houses our subscriber list and from which you can unsubscribe at any time. This email list will never be sold, rented, or given to any other party unless required by law. Your first name and email will be retained until you unsubscribe from the list.
Contact Form — If you fill out our contact form, we will collect your name, email address, and the content of your message in order to send you a response. We won’t send any other unsolicited emails and won’t add you to the newsletter subscriber list.
