CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

All information and content on this website is intended for individuals over the age of 18 years old that reside in the United States. I respect the privacy of children and “child” means an individual under the age of 18.  Children under the age of 18 years old are prohibited from using this website unless prior consent is established between their guardian and the child. Of course here on the website that information isn't collected but I assume that if you are under the age of 18 years old and visiting the website, you've asked an adult. I do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from children under the age of 18 without prior parental or guardian consent. If you believe personal information is collected from someone under the age of 18 without parental or guardian consent, then please contact me via the email located in the Contact page to have that information deleted.

AFFILIATE MARKETING

Some pages and posts contain affiliate links. As an affiliate associate I may receive a commission (at no additional cost to you) from qualifying purchases. I endorse products that I have personally used and have benefitted from or that I have knowledge about. I do not take any responsibility for the product you purchase from the third party seller. They are separate from me. Any defects, should that be an issue, should be handled through their contact information page. Thank you for your support!

INFORMATION COLLECTED AND HOW IT IS USED

When you access the website, you may provide certain personally identifiable information including but not limited to your name, email address, URL and avatar image. This information is collected when you register on the site, subscribe to a newsletter, initiate contact, provide comments or any other feedback, fill out a form or enter any other information on the website to communicate with me.

Your personal information is used to personalize your experience, improve the website to better serve you, efficiently process your requests, tailor advertisements to you, elicit reviews of services or products, provide you offers, promotions and to follow up with you through email (if contact was initiated through the Contact page). I may also use this information to provide you offers and promotions from my partners and/or my affiliates in exchange for a commission without any additional cost to you.

Additionally, like other websites, this website automatically collects certain information about you through Log Data and Google Analytics. Log Data is information about your computer’s Internet Protocol Address, which is your “IP” address, browser information, Internet Service Provider’s information, your operating system, and your browser type. Similarly, Google Analytics collects certain information about your location, browsing history, the pages you visit, equipment you used to access the website, traffic patterns, and other general patterns related to your use of the website.

This information is used to analyze website statistics related to user behavior and interests, improve our performance and your use of the website and to further enhance the products and services offered to you.

COMMENTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. When you leave a comment, your name, avatar and/or URL (should you choose to provide it) is not shared with a third party and may be used to communicate with you.

Social media accounts and sharing options are available on this website. Social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so forth) can track your personal information. Should you choose to interact with me on social media, please note that you will be voluntarily disclosing that personal information (ex: profile information, profile photo, links, content, location etc.). This information is no longer private. It becomes public information and can be collected and used by others. I have no control over and take no responsibility for the use, storage or dissemination of such publicly disclosed personal information by you.

Any such interactions via comments and social media with me do not subject me to any kind of liability related to misuse of your information by others.
