INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

The primary purpose in collecting information from or about you is to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience.

We respect the privacy of children and “child” means an individual under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13.

IN REAL PEOPLE TERMS :

There’s a bunch of legal jargon that needs to go on this page, but here are the basics:

• I use Google Analytics data to improve the process of my website. This tracks how and where you navigate on my site.
• If you sign up for an email list I will send you the incentive you signed up for and regular emails periodically. You may opt-out of this at any time. I do not share or sell our email list.
• I use Google Adsense and other third-party advertisers for the various ads on my site. Google is a third party that also uses cookies to serve ads on the Site. You can opt-out of Google by visiting this page.
• This website runs SSL on all pages related to placing an order, so your payment information is securely transmitted and handled via Paypal, Simplify Commerce via Woocommerce, or Gumroad. We do not have access to or store your personal payment information.
• This site links to other sites from time to time; we are not responsible for differing privacy and data security policies.
• If you create an account on satustitches.com, we collect your: name, mailing and shipping address, email, and purchase history. We will never disclose, sell, or share any of your personal information to or with third parties. The CCPA requires us to offer an opt out link for this even if we do not do it. [wt_cli_ccpa_optout]
• If you leave a comment on my blog, it does attach your IP address to your email address. This helps monitor spam.

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.

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.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Should you choose to interact with us on social media, please note that you will be voluntarily disclosing that personal information. This information is no longer private. It becomes public information and can be collected and used by others. We have no control over and take no responsibility for the use, storage, or dissemination of such publicly-disclosed personal information by you.

Any such interactions via comments and social media with us do not subject us to any kind of liability related to misuse of your information by others.
