What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Your contact information
Unless otherwise noted herein, this website does not collect your contact data. If you choose to follow or otherwise subscribe to this website’s related social media pages, you may unsubscribe or adjust your personal social media security options any time.
Comments
Some blog posts may involve 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.
Any uploaded images must be appropriate for viewing by all ages.
Contact forms
We currently do not collect e-mail addresses or personal information through this website. There are no sales, subscriptions or newsletter forms at this time.
If you do wish to receive future announcements from the artist/photographer/web host (me), please go to my linked Facebook page for “Bill.BrandAGallery” and become a follower. I will be posting no more than one time a week and I do not intend to sell my list of followers. You may set your own social media privacy levels at your comfort level.
Potential Sales: If I begin selling work in the future, it will be through a well established, third-party artist fulfillment site. The information handling privacy/practices of that site will prevail.
