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, click here for Google's privacy policy.
MailChimp:
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.
If you have any questions or concerns about my Privacy Policy or would like to remove your information from my website, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I would be happy to discuss that with you!
