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!

When you interact with our site we store the information that you provide us with. This can include your name, email address and postal address.

Who we share your data with

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us. These providers have their own privacy policies which govern the way in which they handle your personal information and we recommend reading those to see how they manage your data.

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/.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy.

Consent

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, comment on an article, contact us or subscribe, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only. 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.

Withdrawing consent

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at anytime, by contacting us at squirrels[at]errantscience[dot]com
