Privacy Policy

Pruned Life (‘PL’) is committed to protecting your privacy and collecting only the minimum amount of personal information needed to provide our service.

Who we are

Our website address is: http://prunedlife.com/.

Summary

Nothing in this privacy policy contradicts the following statements:

  1. We do not collect any of your personal information, other than the information you voluntarily provide.
  2. We do not sell nor share your personal information to advertisers or other third parties.

Introduction

Your privacy is important to us, and our online Privacy Policy is intended to protect and secure any personally identifiable information (‘Personal Information’) you provide to PL online when you visit prunedlife.com, or PL’s social media channels (collectively ‘Sites’)

This Privacy Policy will remain in full force and effect as long as you are a user of  prunedlife.com. By visiting or using prunedlife.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. The use of the Sites is possible without the provision of your Personal Information. The provision of your Personal Information is voluntary, based solely on your consent.

We regularly review and, where necessary, update our Privacy Policy. All updates and amendments are effective immediately, and you will be notified of any applicable changes upon visiting our Sites.

Information we collect

Personal Information is voluntarily provided by you when you:

  • Request information from PL
  • Sign up for PL’s periodical email
  • Sign up to make comments on PL’s post
  • Make an online contribution to PL

The Personal Information we collect may include your first and last names, email address, image.

In addition, we collect non-identifying demographic and interest data through Google Analytics Demographic and Interest Reporting. Visitors may opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising through Google’s Ads Settings, or via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which can be found at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

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.

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.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

How the information is used

We only use the Personal Information you provide for its intended purpose and ensure that it is kept securely.

PL does not sell, exchange, rent, or otherwise disclose your Personal Information to third-party marketers, persons, or organisations. We do not use your Personal Information for any commercial purposes.

PL reserves the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation, or legal request to protect the integrity of the Site; to fulfil your requests; or to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or any investigation on a matter of public safety.

Demographic and interest data gathered through Google Analytics Demographic and Interest Reporting is for analysing trends in aggregate and is never combined with personally identifiable information.

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

We use Mailchimp to send mass emails to users who subscribe to receive them. You can review Mailchimp’s privacy policy for information on how they manage user data by visiting: mailchimp.com/legal/privacy. You can unsubscribe from any email sent from us via Mailchimp by clicking an embedded ‘unsubscribe’ link.

How we protect your Information

We do our utmost to protect your privacy. The General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) obliges us to follow security procedures regarding the storage and disclosure of Personal Information, provided to us in order to avoid unauthorised loss or access. As such, we have implemented industry-standard security systems and procedures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised disclosure, misuse, or destruction.
