What Personal Information Does This Site Collect?

Newsletter or Blog:

If you voluntarily sign up for Kathy McIntosh’s newsletter or blog, this site will record your email address, name (optional), and which newsletter or blog you signed up for. You can refuse to supply personal information, but that will exclude you from certain related activities such as receiving newsletters, blogs, and free offers. When subscribers click on a link in one of my emails or fill out a form, the site may record this information (see below how this information is used). Users may visit the website anonymously without signing up for the newsletter or blog.

Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. You may ask for all your data to be deleted at any time.

Giveaways:

If you enter a giveaway, your name and address is collected. If you win a physical prize, you will be asked to give your name and physical address.

What Non-personal Information Does This Site Collect?

This website may collect non-personal information about visitors when they interact with the site. This information may include the browser name, means of connection to my site, and other non-identifying information.

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.

Web Browser Cookies

This website may use “cookies” to enhance visitor experience. Typically, cookies may be placed on visitors’ hard drives for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Visitors may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to send an alert when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly. Any cookies used by this site derive from WordPress, which is what we’ve built the site on.

Third-party links

Sometimes Kathy will include third-party links through email or on the website. These sites have their own policies and you should read those before subscribing or purchasing from them.

Security of Information

All information is saved by MailerLite and Google Analytic which is set to anonymize data and only Kathy and her website programmers can access. Should a data breach ever occur, subscribers will be notified within 7 days.

For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (“GDPR”), Kathy McIntosh is the “data controller”. If you have any questions about this policy or about how I use your Personal Data, please contact me at my email address.
