Who We Are
We want you to understand how and why The Sugary Logic Food Blog ("Sugary Logic," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our website https://sugarylogic.com (our "Website"). This Privacy Policy applies to information or data collected when you visit our Website. Should you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected].
What Information We Collect and Why We Collect It
Comments
First, when visitors leave comments on the Website, we collect the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Second, 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.
Third, when comment ratings are enabled, we store the rating a user has given to a recipe along with the personal data WordPress core stores.
IP Address
We store the Internet Protocol ("IP") address when user ratings are enabled upon voting. This is used as (one of the) measures to prevent rating spam.
Google Analytics also collects IP addresses to provide and protect the security of the service and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users come from (also known as “IP geolocation”).
Media
Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website. However, if uploading images to the website, you should avoid doing so with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included.
Contact & Subscriber Forms
We use Mailchimp to collect and store your email address when you contact or subscribe to our Website. Mailchimp outlines their use of your data and anonymized data here. You may opt out of collecting your data by unsubscribing (we will remove it) and contacting them using the instructions on their privacy page.
Email Addresses
We may collect your email address only if you voluntarily provide it to us. This may occur, for example, if you sign up to receive an email newsletter. Also, to send you occasional emails regarding the Website or other products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of such email communications by clicking the “unsubscribe” button in the email. We will not share your email address with any third parties.
