Welcome to Flour Covered Apron!
At FlourCoveredApron.com (“we”, “us”, “the website”, “the site”), we are committed to protecting your privacy online. Below, you’ll find information on the types of personal information that we collect via this website and how that information may be used.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, we automatically collect internet log information from visitors to our website through Google Analytics. The information inside these log files may include details such as your device’s IP address, the type of browser you use, the type of device you use, the date and time you visited the site, the address of the website that referred you to our site, the pages you viewed on the site, and the links you clicked. We use this data to help us understand how to improve our site and to identify the type of content our users prefer.
This information is not linked to personally identifiable information and we do not make any attempt to determine the identities of visitors to our site. Please see our Cookie Policy (below) for more information on Google Analytics and other cookies that are used on our site.
Voluntarily Submitted Information
We may also collect the following personal information, but only if you choose to provide it to us voluntarily by submitting a contact form, subscribing to our newsletter, or leaving a comment on our site:
- email address
- first and last name
Depending on the form through which you provide this data, we may use this information to maintain the site, send email newsletters, and/or respond to your inquiries and requests. We will only use this information for the purposes for which you provide it to us.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, the following information may also be publicly visible to other users visiting the site: username, avatar, and website.
In addition to the information provided in the form, we collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help avoid spam. This information is checked through an automated spam detection service, but is not published.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you have a profile picture available. If so, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here.
Newsletters
If you opt-in to receive email notifications, we will collect your email address for the purposes of sending you periodic newsletters and promotional content regarding FlourCoveredApron.com. We use an email marketing service called MailChimp to deliver our newsletter. MailChimp’s privacy policy can be found here.
These newsletters may contain tracking pixels, which allows us to analyze the success of our online marketing campaigns. These tracking pixels can identify if/when you open an email, as well as any links on which you clicked within the email. We may share aggregate, anonymized statistics with other businesses to demonstrate the efficacy of our email campaigns, but we do not share information regarding any individual user’s behavior.
You may unsubscribe from our email list at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our emails, or by sending an email request to FlourCoveredApron[at]gmail.com. We never trade, sell, or rent our contact lists to other organizations or businesses.
