Anonymous Information Collected: An IP address is an anonymous bit of data dropped by all site visitors (both human and bots). It is tracked by the following entities for better security, content creation, and marketing purposes.

Your browser may also send response headers with generic/anonymized information about the type of browser, computer/device, and ISP you are using, and your location by country only.

The privacy policy of each entity that collects this information is linked below, if you would like more info about them.

• Google Analytics – So I can discover the type of content you find most helpful and create more of it. (Note: Google does not have access to this data.)

• A2 Hosting – Kept in the server logs so the host can identify and stop bad bot attacks.

• Cloudflare – To identify and stop bad bot attacks.

• UpdraftPlus – My backup service.

• YouTube – If you view a YouTube embedded video on the site, the IP info is sent to YouTube to record that the video has been viewed, just as it would if you had watched it directly on YouTube.

Email Collection: My list service provider is MailChimp.

If you elect to subscribe, your email address will be stored on their servers. You can access your info any time by clicking the Manage Subscription link at the bottom of any email you receive from me.

I never have, and never will share your email address with any person or entity for marketing purposes.

Comments: Leaving a comment on one of my posts requires that you identify yourself by email address.

That info is stored in the site’s database.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if the email address you used is connected to that provider so your happy face displays next to your comment.
