I won’t share, exchange, or sell your private information (including but not limited to your email address) to anyone without your permission.
I may tell your story, but I will delete or change any identifiable information.
Absolutely. (Unless legally forced to.)
Promise.
MaryAnn Copson
That has always been my policy, but…
European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules make it more complicated than that because some things happen automatically, behind the scenes, and as a normal part of a business.
We have to tell you who we are
This is the website for MaryAnn Copson with the website address http://WomanAsHealer.com
And what personal data we collect and why we collect it
Some of your data is collected automatically and in the course of marketing and sales.
Our email list
If you opt-in to our mailing list, the information you provide is collected and saved according to the policies of the service we use. We use “double opt-in” to protect you from someone else signing you up. You will have the opportunity to opt-out via a link provided in every email we send.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, WordPress collects by default the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
You are not automatically added to our mailing list, you must opt-in for that. Your information is not used for marketing purposes.
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 here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, and if you use Gravatar, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This is 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.
Contact forms
If you use the contact form on the site we collect the data shown in the form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Again, you are not automatically added to our mailing list, you must opt-in for that. Your information is not used for marketing purposes.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site occasionally include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, opt-in forms, 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 other website.
And more
Who we share your data with
Nobody. Your information is not shared, traded or sold by us. We do not accept advertising or receive data about users from third parties. We do not participate in any scheme to aggregate your data into an advertising profile.
How long we retain your data
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.
What rights you have over your data
You can request to receive a 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. For privacy-specific concerns, use the contact form or write us at the physical address listed there.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you make a purchase
Your contact information is kept offline in a secure database. You will be added to our mailing list. You will have the opportunity to opt-out at any time. Your financial data is kept securely by the agency that processed your payment.
