WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

We take your privacy very seriously and never share personal information such as name, mailing address, email address, communications, or IP address with third parties. We may share your social media handles with our followers if you have engaged with us for a giveaway or other opportunity.

In some instances, we may also share your information  with competent public authorities or other third parties, if required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property and safety of ourselves or others or with our affiliates and promotional partners, so they can offer you special products, services, discounts, and other items or services. The data that is usually shared with affiliates and promotional partners is in aggregate and not at an individual level.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your information as long as you continue using this site.

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. When you accept the use of cookies on this site, your consent is valid for one year.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time by visiting https://subscribe.wordpress.com (except they cannot change their username).
