Purple Is Her Covering Privacy Policy

This privacy policy informs you how personally identifiable information might be collected and how it might be used. Please read this privacy policy carefully to get an understanding of how I collect, use, and protect your personally identifiable information.

What information do I collect?

I may collect personal information from you. For example, you may be asked to enter your name, email address or other details by leaving a comment, filling out a form, or subscribing to my email list voluntarily.

Comments

If you create a user profile on the website or leave a comment, certain information may be publicly visible.  

Automatically-Collected Information about you and the device with which you access the Website is collected. For example, when you visit the website, I will be able to log your IP address (but no other personal information), operating system type, browser type, referring website, pages you viewed, the dates/times you accessed the website and links clicked on the website. This information helps me to understand favorite parts of my page and how most users are getting to my blog. Currently, I use Google Analytics for this.

Sometimes I may use anonymous data (cookies, analytics) I gather from my website, which does not identify you alone or when combined with data from other parties. This type of anonymous data may be provided to other parties for advertising or other uses. 

How do I use your information?

I may use the information I collect from you in the following ways:

  • To operate the website
  • To send emails and newsletters which include a link to opt-out of future mailings
  • To respond to your questions or comments
  • To track advertising on the website

*your personal information is NOT sold to any other third-party applications*

Third party links

I may have third party products or services posted to my website. Third party sites have separate privacy policies. I have no responsibility or liability for these linked sites. 

I may also have affiliate links. This allows me to get paid a commission for products purchased through links on my website at no additional cost to you. Unless otherwise noted, my content is not influenced by advertisers or affiliate links on this site.

Comment Policy for my blog AND social media pages

Below selected pages on the website are comment sections. By posting on this website, you agree to be contacted by me via the email address you used to register.

If you think a post should not be on the site because it violates my site guidelines, please flag it. This will remove the post from view and notify me to review it.

Some comments will not appear until approved. In addition, forbidden words will trigger automatic moderation from filtering software. I reserve the right to delete any comment not faithful to the Magisterium and to ban users who act against this from posting on the website.

This includes comments that do not pertain to the post, do not add value, or are otherwise inappropriate. I reserve the right to delete or ban without warning. The right to freedom of speech does not include the obligation for me to provide a platform for views I disagree with or feel would not be helpful to my blog.

Posts made to promote another publication (when unnecessary for the discussion) may be deleted. Similarly posts with links presented as advertising, including to other publications, will be deleted. Posts that disclose personal information or pry into personal information may be deleted. 

Posts that are not charitable (such as rude, disrespectful, swearing, insults, threats etc.) may be deleted and posters may be banned. Posts that are illegal or that advocate illegal behavior will be deleted. The poster will be banned and all information I have about the poster will be sent to relevant authorities. 

Purple Is Her Covering reserves the right to modify these posting guidelines without notice.

Disclosure Policy

My website may contain affiliate links. When one clicks on an affiliate link and then purchases something, I make a small percentage in commission, at no cost to the user. These earnings help cover the costs of running the blog.

I promote only those products and services that I would use personally and share my honest opinions and experiences. I will fully disclose, if I am compensated to write a blog post.
