privacy policy
Hey! Kristin here.
Maybe you’re real relaxed about technology knowing stuff about you. Maybe you’re like me and are more cautious about “Big Brother.” In any case, here’s information about how viewing this blog may affect your privacy.
As a basic rule of thumb, the more you interact with the content on this blog, the more information you are sharing.
VOLUNTARY SHARING OF INFORMATION
Comments
If you leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected, and also your 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.
If you leave a comment, 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.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you register on this website (if any), the personal information you provide for your user profile is stored. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username).
Please do not share any personal, locational, or sensitive information on this website.

ADVERTIZING & AFFILIATE MARKETING
This website uses affiliate marketing (see disclosure for more information) which uses embedded links to track sales. If you click a link to a particular product, a cookie will be generated to track sales in order to provide me with a small commission.
