Who am I
My name is Kayla Ayers and I own this domain. I am the creator of the blog Sunshine and Perspective. The website address is: http://sunshineandperspective.com.
Your Data & Privacy
Your privacy and the data you volunteer, are managed with thought and respect.
Sunshine + Perspective is diligently compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I am committed to maintaining the confidence and trust of visitors to this website.
In particular, I wish to state that I’m not in the business of renting, selling or trading email lists with other businesses, companies, organizations or persons for marketing purposes.
There is a legal requirement to provide you with a detailed privacy policy, so that you’re clear on when and why I collect your personal information, how I use it and how I keep it secure.
Types of Data I Collect
Mailing Lists: As part of the subscription process of my blog, I collect personal information that you have given freely to me (currently limited to your first name, last name and email address). I use that information to send updates to you and will always treat your in-box as a sacred space. I’ll also occasionally include information about new products and services, as and when I offer them.
I don’t and have never rented, sold or traded my email lists with any other business, company, organization or person for marketing or any other purposes.
I use a third-party processor, Constant Contact, to deliver my newsletter. I gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help me monitor and improve my e-newsletter. For more information, please see Constant Contact’s privacy policy.
You can unsubscribe from my newsletter at any time by clicking on the ‘Unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any of my emails or by emailing me directly at sunshineandperspective@outlook.com.
Website Users
This site is created through WordPress.
Comments:
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 user 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.
Media:
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.
Cookies:
If you leave a comment on this site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit this login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites:
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with:
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data:
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.
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.
What rights you have over your data:
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data:
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Your Legal Rights
I fully support the ethos of GDPR, which is designed to keep the ownership of personal data within the control of individuals. This means you have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to request access, request correction and request erasure of your personal data.
Access to Your Data: You have the right to request a copy of the information I hold about you. If you would like a copy of the personal information I hold, please contact me.
You also have the right to be forgotten, so you can also request the data I hold to be deleted.
Updates to this Privacy Policy: This policy was updated July 2022.
