Privacy Policy

Savvy Sage is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors who use SavvySage.net. This Privacy Policy sets forth how Savvy Sage (“the website”) will collect, use, and share information. By using SavvySage.net, you agree to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s IP address for moderation purposes.

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.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personal or sensitive information through the website’s public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others.

Contact Forms

Aside from the name and email address, the website typically does not collect any personal data through its contact form.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on the website, 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.

Analytics

The website uses Google Analytics and Google Adsense. Their purposes are to improve the website experience and to help keep the website free respectively. See Google’s Advertising Privacy Policy for more information.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on the website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, 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. See the privacy policies of those services for more information.

Who we share your data with

We do not share any personal data with anyone that is stored on the website.

How long we retain your data

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 left comments on the website, 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 your data is sent

Visitor comments made on the website may be checked through an automated spam detection service, again for moderation purposes.

How we protect your data

The website uses the SSL Protocol to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that the website is 100% secure, but we will take action if there is a potential security risk on the website.

COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) Notice

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you MUST ask your parent or guardian for permission to use the website.
