Information we collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and any information you include when you contact us or leave a comment.

We also automatically collect certain information about your device and how you use this website through cookies and similar technologies (see “Cookies and tracking technologies” below).

Comments

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 with 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 at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

If you contact us through a contact form on the website, you may choose to provide your name, email address, and any information you include in your message. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and manage our communication with you.

Cookies and tracking technologies

This website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience, understand how the site is used, and support certain features (such as remembering your preferences and enabling analytics).

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the site may not function properly.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use this website and to improve our content and user experience. Google Analytics collects information such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, the site you came from, and basic information about your device and browser.

This information is collected in an anonymized or pseudonymized form and does not allow us to identify you personally. Google may process this data on servers located in various countries.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, subject to data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a request, contact us at: jen@jenshannon.com

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service and other security or anti-spam tools we use to keep the site safe.

Affiliate links and monetization

This website may contain affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

We do our best to clearly mark or place disclosures near affiliate links so you understand when a link may result in a commission.
