PERSONAL DATA & COLLECTION USAGE
Katrinaandco.com collects limited, automated browser data via Google Analytics, including: anonymous IP address, the type of browser from which the user is accessing, the type of device in which the site is accessed (mobile/desktop/tablet), geographical location, date and time accesses, path through Katrinaandco.com and pages visited, and other responses submitted by your device for purposes of security, marketing and content creation. Personal data will never be tracked unless the visitor chooses to enter it in an online form (i.e. submits a blog comment). While the site’s owner can analyze data to better serve the interests of her audience, the data and information provided will never be shared with a third party.
EMAIL & VOLUNTARY DATA SUBMISSION
If a user chooses to subscribe to emails, published and sent by Katrinaandco.com, they will do so through opting-in and leaving their email address (and name if they choose to).

Subscribers may elect to opt-out of receiving emails at any time via the “Unsubscribe” button at the bottom of each email.
BLOG COMMENTS
Information voluntarily submitted by visitors will be made available when comments are made across KelleyNan.com. The data collected is displayed in the comments form; the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent are retained to help spam detection. 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 using 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.

EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES

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.
