WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO I COLLECT AND WHY DO I COLLECT IT
Quill and Tales cares a lot about your privacy. This page is designed to outline what personal information is gathered and how it is used.
The WordPress platform is used to run this website. By default, WordPress does not collect any personal data about its visitors. It only collects data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. Being a registered user is not a requirement to access this website and is disabled by default.
However, WordPress allows plugins, contact forms, comments, widgets, and third-party embeds. All of these are used on this website and, as such, may collect personal technical data, such as information about cookies. This may be done by simply visiting a page or by user interaction with contact and comment forms.
COMMENTS
When you post comments on this site I collect the data you submit via the comment form. This includes your email, name (or nickname), IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may also 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 Gravatar profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
CONTACT FORM
When using the contact form on this site, your consent to the information you provide is processed and then securely sent in the form of an email to my email address. No data is stored on my server. Once the email has been sent, the information you provided on the form is deleted.
The information required by the form includes your name and your email address. These are used solely to reply to your query or question.
COOKIES
This site uses cookies to keep track of your activity around the area. Cookies are simple data files that store information. We do not install any program on your computer when you visit this site. My cookies do not collect or store personally identifiable information. They store a token that uniquely identifies you as a visitor at a particular time.
If you leave a comment on our site you opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
THIRD-PARTY PLUGINS & WIDGETS
To enhance your user experience, this site uses plugins that may collect information about your visit. Below is a list of the third-party plugins or widgets I use, what information they collect, and what they do with it.
I do not currently use any embeds or third-party plugins/widgets that capture or use personal information in any way.
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 the same way if you had 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.
HOW LONG I RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
WHAT RIGHTS DO 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 legally obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
WHERE DO I SEND YOUR DATA
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
CONTACT INFORMATION

You will also need to provide the email address you used when commenting If it is different from the one you used to send the personal data request.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on this website. Google may set a cookie during the process of serving you with an advertisement. Personalized advertisements have been disabled. No personal information is gathered by Google.
HOW I PROTECT YOUR DATA
While the data collected by my website is minimal, I still care greatly about your privacy. Any personal data I hold is stored on a secure encrypted server. Any reliance you place on issues I speak of is therefore strictly at your own risk.
