I have based this Privacy Policy on a few guiding principles:
* I only ask for personal information my team needs.
* I won’t sell your personal information. Period.
I, Melinda Curtis, respect the privacy of my readers. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you, as an individual user of my website, about the information I collect, how I may use that information, with whom it may be shared and your choices about these disclosures.
I encourage you to carefully read this Privacy Policy. By using my Website, signing up for my newsletter, or entering a contest, you are accepting the practices I have described in this Privacy Policy.
Information I collect about you
I only collect the information that I need in order to provide you with service. I collect personal information that can identify you, such as your name and email address, physical address (if needed) and other information that you provide to me. When you provide personal information through my website, that information may be stored on servers both inside the United States and around the world.
For instance, I may need your postal address to send you a physical prize if you win a sweepstakes, however, you are not required to provide this information in order to enter the sweepstakes. You will be required to provide this information if you win.
With whom we share your information
I want you to understand when and with whom I may share personal information or other information I have collected about you.
Authorized Service Providers: I may use a service provider to collect email addresses or administer a sweepstakes. If you agree to join my email list as part of this process, you will only be added to my email list. Service providers may contact you by email if you win a prize, but will not otherwise contact you.
Other Situations: My team and I may release your personal information in response to a subpoena, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency.
Your choices about collection and use of your information
You can choose to not provide me with certain information.
You may update your email preferences at any time to opt-in or out of communications from me.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
I may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When I update this Privacy Policy, I will revise the “Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
