Who we are

Our website address is: https://www.ivyiron.com. We take your privacy and the protection of your personal information seriously. This privacy policy describes how and why we collect, store, use, or share your information. By using this website, you agree to the policy outlined below.

What personal data we collect and why do we collect it?

1. We collect information you provide when you subscribe, fill out forms on the site, communicate with us via email or contact forms, or respond to surveys. We use the information you provide to send the content requested and periodic emails with relevant content, products, or services.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Cookies

We use Cookies to gather information about how our site is used, including date and time, pages visited, time spent on our website, link clicks, and downloads. Additionally, if you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track how visitors use our website. You can find Google’s privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Who we share your data with

We never share your personal information with anyone, with the exception of service providers for the sole purpose of operating this site or providing our services to you. We only work with providers who agree to keep your information confidential, and we only provide your information when necessary. We will never sell or trade your personal information to anyone. We may disclose information if required for legal or security purposes.

We take all precautions reasonably necessary to protect your data to protect against unauthorized access or use.

How long we retain your data

We will retain any data you provide to us until you unsubscribe using the link provided our emails, you request us to delete your information (you can email us at nicole@ivyiron.com and your information will be removed promptly), or we decide your data is not needed.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
