This is a short post regarding GDPR which came into effect on May 25, 2018.
Any cookies on my website are used to ensure normal website functions. These cookies cannot be switched off because the website wouldn’t function properly without them. However, it is my understanding that these identifiers do not store any personal data.
When you leave a comment on this blog WordPress will automatically store your gravatar name, IP Address, comment, and email address. Therefore, leaving a comment is considered a definite intention, as defined by the GDPR giving me consent to store this information, and permission to contact you in the future.
But please rest assured that your personal information will not be sold or shared with any third parties under any circumstances. If you wish me to remove your data for any reason please get in touch.
If for whatever reason you do not consent to the above, please don’t leave a comment on my blog, or join my newsletter or sign up via google tours for blog tours.
If necessary I might amend this policy in the future. Therefore don’t forget to pop back and check this page from time to time to see any changes that might have occurred.
I am no longer an Amazon Affiliate but if I do decide to do this again I will clearly state so on this privacy page.
