WHO I AM
My website address is https://mymillennialkitchen.com/ . Privacy information is controlled by the website owner and creator, Michele Sidorenkov.
WHAT PERSONAL DATA I COLLECT AND WHY I COLLECT IT
COMMENTS
When visitors leave comments on the site I collect the data provided in the comments form, which includes an email address. I also use a spam filtering service called Akismet which may collect the visitor’s IP address and browser to help prevent spam. Check out the Akismet Privacy Policy for more information on the information they collect.
CONTACT FORMS
I use MailChimp as my newsletter service, which is an optional sign-up that must be opted into by the user. With the voluntary service sign-up, you indicate to me your interest in receiving frequent information regarding my website. I only see the information you provide, which is held within MailChimp and is accessed by me through a password protected account. The minimum amount information you need to provide to opt into this service is your email, while your name is optional with no other information stored. At this time I do not share your email information with anyone and do not have future plans to do so. You can unsubscribe from this email newsletter service at any time and you can access the MailChimp privacy policy by clicking here.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
I use a Google Analytics plug-in which gives me helpful information about my audience by using and tracking cookies. Some of the information given to me by Google Analytics includes the number of total page views at any given time, how many new or returning users are coming to my site per month, some search words people are using leading them to my site, and countries or major US cities where my audience is based when accessing my site. I do not have the ability to track (nor would I want to!) specific IP addresses, names, addresses, or any other sensitive identifying information about my audience. The general information given to me through Google Analytics helps me identify trends in my content, identify popular topics, global regions of my audience, and identify my websites audience growth. I do not share my Analytics information with anyone at this time. For more information, check out Google's privacy policy.

HOW LONG I RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained for one year. This is so we can recognize 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.

Contact forms are held for one year.

This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
WHERE WE SEND YOUR DATA
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Third parties have access to your data as noted within this agreement.
