All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use. 

Use of collected or received personal information:

We use personal information collected via our Services for a variety of business purposes described below. We process your personal information for these purposes in reliance on our legitimate business interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or for compliance with our legal obligations.

We may use your information for other business purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, and to evaluate and improve our Services, products, marketing, and your experience. We may use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individual users and does not include personal information. We will not use identifiable personal information without your consent.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, it is important to note that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.

Do we use 'cookies'?

We do not use cookies for tracking purposes.  However, third parties may do so (as specified below).

If you disable cookies, some features will be disabled that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under 13.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to connect with readers and let them know about news, blog posts, or any discounts we think subscribers might be interested in.

To be in accordance with CANSPAM we agree to the following:

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, please do so via the unsubscribe link which is found at the bottom of every newsletter.  However, you may also email us at me@nancyproofed.com with your details and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.
