Google Analytics collects metadata about the city-level location and granular device details of visitors.

If you need to have your comments removed and cannot figure out how to do this yourself, please contact J. @JLenniDorner on Twitter is best.

How will it be used: currently or possibly in the future?

J doesn't currently have a newsletter. J does not sell information.

Who will it be shared with?

J might share site access with his assistant, who also agrees not to use, sell, or share private information. Blogger has a privacy policy of its own.

What is the potential implication for the individual from whom you are collecting the information?

The implication of leaving a comment is that those visiting this blog might reply to the comment and might search for you online. If you subscribe using the Bloglovin' widget, you'll receive email notices when there are new posts if you use it that way.

Is your intended use likely to cause individuals to object or complain?

J does NOT intend to use any information in an objectionable way.

How can individuals opt out of your data collection protocols?

Don't provide your email. Delete your comments or ask for them to be removed.

How can individuals get an electronic record of the information you have about them?

J doesn't keep any "hidden" records of information. Search the blog for your own comments. You may ask J to search for information if you like.

How can individuals direct you to transfer the information to another entity?

A reason for providing your information elsewhere would need to be provided, along with proof that you are you.

Every piece of personal data that you collect must be essential for the service that is being offered. If it is not clearly essential, like giving an email address to sign up for an online newsletter, you must explain why it is necessary.


J doesn't want your personal data. Please don't share anything you don't want me to have.

If you want to continue emailing your old contacts, you’ll need to ask for consent properly and in accordance with the GDPR. That means sending a re-opt-in campaign asking if they would still like to receive your newsletter. All you have to do is include a button that clearly states “Yes, I would like to continue receiving newsletters,” and then keep only contacts who have clicked on this button. You’ll have to include separate buttons if you have multiple different types of emails.


J does not run a newsletter.

If you plan to send any communications to your users by way of their personal contact information, it’s necessary to include a communications clause.

J does not intend to send unsolicited email.
https://policies.google.com/privacy Google's privacy policy.

Even if they do delete their accounts, some personal information may need to be retained in your database.

Please reach out to J if you require your comments to be removed and are unable to do so yourself. You will need to verify that you are you.

Parental consent is required to process personal data of children age 16 and younger.

We have the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy and practices at any time, now or in the future. Changes to this Privacy Policy can be found here.
