Hi!
This is a privacy policy brought to you by the nice folks (Matthew Partridge and Michelle Reeve) at ErrantScience.com (and Clutter.ErrantScience.com).
Essentially this page set out our privacy policy with respect to how we keep you personal information (if you ever give it to us) and how we might use it.
The short version is, if you comment, subscribe or buy from us we keep some of your details (your name, e-mail address and shipping address). We keep these because we are data squirrel hoarders and have heart palpations at the idea of deleting anything. Also we actually need them to send you the updates or stuff you’ve asked us to send and deal with any future issues.
If you don’t want us keeping your data or want to delete all the data we have on you then you can ask us delete it using this handy page.
Below is a MUCH more detailed privacy policy written by someone who went on some slightly related training which, edited and messed with by someone that has an unhealthy obsession with squirrels.
Enjoy!

Jetpack provides us with various site services including analytics while we use WooCommerce to process payments to the store. Both providers are part of the company Automattic and you can find their Privacy Policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

There is no secondary processing of your personal information. For example we do not view commenting on an article as consent for us sending you marketing information.
If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.
