Privacy Policy

I (Yvonne Perry) am committed to keeping secure and accurate, confidential and private any and all personal information collected from visitors to this website (WeAre1inSpirit.com) who make use of the online facilities and services. This privacy policy has been created to disclose how and where your personal information is collected, used, and stored and to comply with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

I may disclose your personal information, without prior notice to you, only if required to do so in accordance with applicable laws and/or in a good faith belief that such action is deemed necessary to remain in compliance with GDPR or other decrees, laws, or statutes.

By using my website, you are giving me permission to use your personal information to support the operation of the website and to deliver the products and services you request. I may use your information to keep you informed of other products, classes, events, articles, and/or services that may be of interest to you. If you are not in agreement with this privacy policy, you should refrain from further use of my site.

WHERE AND HOW INFORMATION IS COLLECTED, USED, AND STORED

When you use the contact form or make a purchase on my WordPress website, your name and email address are collected. If you make a purchase on this site, your name and email address are stored in a plugin called Easy Digital Downloads, which is used to process purchases made on my website through PayPal.

PayPal stores a record of all purchases made through my website. This includes your name and email address. Your credit card information is not accessible to me on PayPal or on my site. You may read PayPal’s privacy policy here: https://www.paypal.com/stories/uk/gdpr-for-smaller-organisations

Your email address will be used to contact you personally, deliver products or services, or send you my RSS newsletter with links to my blog articles or announcements of upcoming events and new products. The newsletter is sent via MailChimp and you may opt out of the newsletter subscription at any time. Your information is also stored in my client list on MailChimp. You may find MailChimp’s GDPR Privacy Policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ .

In order to safeguard my website and to protect all information you submit during your visit to WeAre1inSpirit.com, I use a secure host, A2Hosting. See A2Hosting’s Privacy Policy at https://www.a2hosting.com/about/policies#Privacy-Policy .

My site runs through CloudFlare as an added measure of protection. Cloudflare’s Privacy & Security Policy is here: https://www.cloudflare.com/security-policy/ .

I use Google Analytics on my site to help me determine my best marketing efforts and monitor the ranking of my site in web searches. Google’s Privacy Policy is here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance. 

When the contact form on my site is used, your name, email address, phone number or other information you may have submitted is may be used to create a contact card in Outlook, which is an email program I use on my computer (part of Microsoft Office 365). I use Microsoft OneDrive to backup my computer files, which includes Outlook. Microsoft’s privacy policy is here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/trustcenter/Privacy/GDPR.

Contact information may also be stored in the online version of my Godaddy email account. See Godaddy’s Privacy Policy here: https://www.godaddy.com/agreements/ShowDoc.aspx?pageid=PRIVACY

My site is backed up each night and stored to a cloud service called Backup Buddy, which is a plugin on my WordPress site. Backup Buddy’s privacy policy is here: https://buddy.works/blog/gdpr

COMMENTS

The comments you leave on my website record your email address and the IP address from which you sent the comment. While this information is stored in the Comment Feature of my WordPress website, I do not intentionally share this information with any third parties.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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.

My website may contain links to other websites. I do not claim or accept responsibility for any privacy policies, practices, or procedures of other such websites. When you follow a link here and leave this site, be sure to read the privacy statements of any site that collects personally identifiable information. 

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.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. 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.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
