Who we are

We are not interested in collecting any data beyond the bare essentials to make this site function properly. If you leave a comment under an article, your name and comment are displayed publicly. This info is stored along with your email address. The latter is only requested and stored along with the comment to help prevent spam. We do not gather mail addresses separately, do not send unsollicited emails and do not share this data with anyone. Genevieve Gorder Home uses Google Analytics to monitor traffic. Banner space is sold in order to help compensate for some of the time and effort put in to create this site and the articles on it and the clicking behavior can be tracked by the Advanced Ads plugin. No personal tracking data is shared with any third parties. Finally, personalized Google Ads are shown at the bottom of the articles by Google using browsing history stored in cookies that were left previously on other sites.

The email address is not displayed publicly and is only stored to help prevent spam. It will never be shared with anyone.

We do not share any personal info with any other parties.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely.

What rights you have over your data

You may request that we erase particular comments or all comments, along with which any personal data is also erased (names and email addresses are only stored along with the comments).

How we protect your data

The Genevieve Gorder Home website is encrypted using SSL (resulting in https, rather than http). This is done using a plugin called Really Simple SSL. Really Simple SSL and Really Simple SSL add-ons do not process any personal identifiable information, so the GDPR does not apply to these plugins or usage of these plugins on your website.
