What personal data we collect and why we collect it

What Information Does This Site Collect?

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.

If you voluntarily sign up for Frog and Esther’s newsletter or blog, this site will record your email address, name, and reading preferences. You can refuse to give personal information, but that will exclude you from certain related activities such as receiving newsletters, blogs, and free offers. When subscribers click on a link in one of our emails or fill out a form, the site may record this information.

Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. You may ask for all your data to be deleted at any time.
