What personal data we collect and why we collect it
MailPoet newsletter & emails
If you have subscribed to my newsletter, you will receive emails from me. I will only send you emails which you have signed up to receive. To send you emails, I use the name and email address you provide. My site also logs the IP address you used when you signed up for the service to prevent abuse of the system.
This website can send emails through the MailPoet sending service. This service allows me to track opens and clicks on our emails. No identifiable information is tracked outside this website except for the email address.
You may unsubscribe from these emails at any time.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
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 with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
Data are only shared with third-party services as needed for those services to work. Currently, these services are MailPoet and WordPress, as described above.
How long we retain your data
Your email address is retained until you unsubscribe from my mailing list.
I delete users who have not confirmed their subscription, or who have unsubscribed, several times a year.
What rights you have over your data
If you have signed up for my mailing list, you can request to receive 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. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Mailing list emails are sent via a MailPoet service, which accesses your data in order to send the email.
