Privacy Policy

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using https://mylittlecheekymonkey.com (the Site), you agree that your use of my Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy.  Please rest assured that I will never sell, barter, or rent your email address or any other personal data to any unauthorised third party.

 

How We Collect, Store, Use and Retain Information

E-mail sign-Ups

This Site only contacts individuals who have specifically signed up to receive my free email communications. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration to receive our free newsletters and name, email address and postal address when taking part in a giveaway.

Your information is stored at the list server that delivers this Site’s newsletters (https://mailchimp.com/). Your information can only be accessed by those who help manage those lists in order to deliver e-mail to those who would like to receive this Site’s newsletters.

All of the newsletters or emails that are sent to you by this Site include an unsubscribe link in them. You can remove yourself at any time from our newsletters or mailing list by clicking on the unsubscribe link that can be found in every communication that I send you.

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 spam detection.  Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

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

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All 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.

Cookies

I may collect automated information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which allows me, among other things, to improve the delivery of my web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help me deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit my site, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before.

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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Back-Ups

To ensure the security and safety of this site, I create monthly backups of all information on this site, which is hosted on a secure server.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Be aware that I may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Site or the public.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, 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.

 

Disclaimer

Although it is highly unlikely, this policy may be changed at any time at our discretion. If we should update this policy, we will post the updates to this page on our Website. In the event of a security breach on this website, I will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. In the event of a security breach on any third party server which I use to store your information (such as https://mailchimp.com/). I will notify you as soon as I can reasonably do so and I have been notified by the third party.
