GFREE DELICIOUSLY eNEWS, NEWSLETTER & EMAILS

If you have subscribed to our newsletter, or if you are a member of our website (you can log in), or if you have purchased on our website, there is a good chance you will receive emails from us.

We will only send you emails that you have signed up to receive or pertain to the services we provide to you.

The name and email address you provide us are used to send you emails. Our site also logs the IP address you used when you signed up for the service to prevent system abuse.

This website can send emails using Fluent CRM, Wishlist Member, and the free version of the WP Fusion plugin. We also send emails through the Substack eNewsletter writing platform. These sending services allow us to track opens and clicks on our emails. We use this information to improve the content of our eNewsletters.

No identifiable information otherwise is tracked outside this website except the email address.

 

THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT

COMMENT POLICY

Two words: Be nice. People worldwide already spend too much time tearing each other down and competing with one another. GfreeDeliciously is not the place for harsh criticisms or negativity – we are all in this together – everyone is on the same team! And while I welcome ideas from readers of all walks of life, I ask that those ideas be expressed with respect and honor for one another with dignity and a little (or, if the situation warrants, BIG) dollop of grace.

COMMENTS

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

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, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

MEDIA

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. You don’t want to do this because visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES

Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves similarly 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.

ANALYTICS – WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH & HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata remain indefinitely. It automatically happens to recognize and approves any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Users who register on our website (if any) also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any point in time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

THE 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 information you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. That data does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

WHERE WE SEND YOUR DATA

We may check visitor comments through an automated spam detection service.

SENSITIVE DATA

We do not collect any Sensitive Data about you. Sensitive data refers to details about your race, ethnicity, religion, political affiliations, or sexual orientation.

Where we are required to collect personal data by law or under the terms of the contract between you and us, do not provide us with that data when requested, we may not perform the contract (for example, to deliver goods or services to you). If you don’t provide us with the requested data, we may have to cancel a product or service you have ordered, but if we do, we will notify you at that time.

We will only use your data for a purpose initially collected or reasonably compatible if necessary. For more information on this, please email us at [email protected].

We may process your account data without your knowledge or consent, where required or permitted by law.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

Under Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we may send marketing communications to you if:

  • You have made a purchase or asked for information from us about our goods or services, or
  • If you agreed to receive marketing communications, and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving such communications since.

In addition, under these regulations, if you are a limited company, we may send you marketing emails without your consent. However, you can still opt-out of receiving marketing emails from us.

You can ask third parties or us to stop sending you marketing messages at any point in time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you OR by emailing us at [email protected].

If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, this does not apply to personal data provided from other purchases or transactions.

DATA SECURITY

We have put security measures in place to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorization. Access to your personal data is only allowed to those employees and partners who have a business need to know such data.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under data protection laws, you have rights in relation to your personal data that include the right to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer, object to processing, portability of data, and (where the lawful ground of processing is consent) to withdraw consent. If you wish to exercise these rights, please email us at [email protected].

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you want to exercise this right, please email us at [email protected].

Additionally, suppose you are a European resident. In that case, we note that we are processing your information to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example, if you make an order through the Site) or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside Europe, including Canada and the United States.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
