June, white rabbits, and your assurance of privacy, read on

As you probably know, the EU GDP (General Data Protection) laws recently went into effect, and you have a right to know how and if they affect your participation in  my blogs.  Though the law applies only in the EU, it's important to know that my own policies have always respected personal information, and here's my assurance on that.

Your privacy is important to you,  so the statements below outline how I handle your personal information. First of all, thank you for visiting my blogs, following my blogs, and for leaving comments on my blog posts, all of which I so much appreciate.  

According to the new laws in effect regarding the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), there must be a disclaimer available on these blogs.  You have the right to know how your personal data is being processed, and particularly, that any information on you is handled respectfully and appropriately by me, as the only person with access to the navigation tools for these blogs. 

ABOUT MY BLOGS

"Field and Fen" and "Art the Beautiful Metaphor" are independently operated blogs created, written and run by me (Liz Adams) and within which I share a range of subjects, including my creative work and process along with book reviews, art exhibit reviews, recipes of my own cooking, adventures with my character dolls, the Dollivers, and my forays into DIY, and my own photos of the work.  I am the owner, creator and only administrator of this blog. I do not have any advertising contracts for these blogs.

This blog is written by me and if I share a link to any other person's work/pictures/articles I clearly state the proper link to said work.  As you use the links, please respect the privacy and regulations of the websites you access.

My computer has a running up-to-date anti-virus program in place at all times.  Spam is detected and dealt with promptly and inappropriate comments are deleted. 

HOW INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

- if you leave a comment on the blog your email address could possibly be shared with me (and with me only) in order that I am able to respond to your comments.  

- it is possible that Google Analytics collects data, but those circumstances are beyond my control.

- Your email and name are never sold by me. I make no inappropriate use of your information.

BLOG COMMENTS
 Anyone within the blogging community knows how much we love comments and feedback.  If you  leave a comment, it will  be visible to anyone who reads the comment section.   For that reason, please do not share any detailed personal information in your comments.  I do reserve the right to remove inappropriate comments.  You can delete, if you choose, any comments you have written. All comments are also covered by the Google Privacy Policy.

COOKIES
 Blogger uses cookies to allow you to access websites and blogs without re-entering your user name and password.  You can also disable their usage by searching that term on your browser and following the steps provided.  Please know that the use of cookies does NOT give me access to any personal information about you.

PARENTAL CONSENT

This blog is family friendly.  Even so, by law, if you are under 16 years of age, you must have parental permission before using this blog site.

My blogs are very small, friendly places, and I appreciate your knowing how I respect and care for your privacy. I don't photograph anyone without permission, I don't allow street names, auto plates, house numbers, etc to appear in my pix. Full names are only used when it's a writer, artist, ot other person who welcomes the exposure, not for private individuals.

So that's where we are!  Same as we always were, in fact.

Enjoy the weekend!
