What personal data we collect and why we collect it
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.
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. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
I use WooCommerce for all sales through this website. If you place an order, you will be asked to give your name, billing address, mailing address, phone number, and email address. Phone numbers are required to ship internationally. I will never call you except on the very rare occasion that there’s an immediate problem with filling your order. I will only email you if there’s an issue with filling your order, such as alerting you to a backorder.
Cookies
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.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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.
Analytics
Who we share your data with
If you purchase items through this website, your address and email address will be added to my United States Postal Service (USPS) address book and used whenever I mail your items. USPS uses your email to send you tracking information for your package. There are a very few large items on my website that are mailed using the United Parcel Service (UPS). If your package is shipped using UPS, your address and email address will be added to my UPS address book so your items can be mailed and you can be notified with tracking information.
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.
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.
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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Additional information
How we protect your data
I have an SSL certificate, which ensures secure data transfer between user browsers and the server, making it difficult for hackers to breach the connection or spoof your info. The site is hosted by WPEngine, which means that it’s automatically protected with automatic site updates to the latest secure patched branch when WordPress releases them, only authorized users can write files to the server which limits vulnerability from plug-ins, automatic detection for malicious requests trying to take advantage of XMLRPC misconfigurations, automatic server-level protections for configuration files for WordPress, the server, and the site’s uploads folder, Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) for all local connections so your data is encrypted both when uploading and downloading content to and from your site, immediate identification when a login attempt is not coming from a real user and returns an empty response, and blocks spam bots.
What data breach procedures we have in place
If the website is compromised, you will be notified immediately and the website will be shut down until it can be repaired.
What third parties we receive data from
None
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
None
Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
Companies that are privately owned are not required by law to disclose detailed financial and operating information in most instances. They enjoy wide latitude in deciding what types of information to make available to the public. Small businesses and other enterprises that are privately owned may shield information from public knowledge and determine for themselves who needs to know specific types of information.
