We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.
This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Victoria Winning (pen name Victoria Fry) collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the http://www.somethingdelicious.co website ("Site"). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by Victoria Winning.
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features or resources we make available on our Site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, name and email address. Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously. We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.
Our Site may use "cookies" to enhance User experience. User's web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. User may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.
Victoria Winning may collect and use User's personal information for the following purposes:
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information and data stored on our Site.
Sensitive and private data exchange between the Site and its Users happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures.
We do not sell, trade, or rent Users personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys. We may share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that you have given us your permission.
If User decides to opt-in to our mailing list, they will receive emails that may include company news, updates, related product or service information, etc. We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys. We may share your information with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that you have given us your permission.
The security of your information is a top priority for me, and I never want you to feel uncomfortable! So, to accompany the legalese, let me further clarify my intent regarding sign-ups to receive email communications:
I will never share the information you provide with anyone other than the third party I use for sending my newsletters and other communications. Currently, that is Mailchimp. I’ve used them for several years now and have been consistently impressed with their dedication to customer service and security. If you wish to have a look at their documentation, here’s a link to their privacy policy.
By signing up for Letters from the Burrow, the Tea Party Chronicles, or any other freebies and live events from Something Delicious, you give your consent to providing Open Tracking data. What this means is a little invisible image (1x1 pixels) is embedded in each email. So long as you’ve chosen to display images in your emails, Mailchimp's secure system will be able to tell, thanks to that image, that the email has been opened.
Open Tracking allows me to be able to do things like:
You may unsubscribe at any time through the link provided at the bottom of every email. If that doesn’t seem to be working, please email me (victoriafry@somethingdelicious.co) and I’ll make sure the change is made as soon as possible!
One last thing: if you're under 17 years of age, you must have parental permission before providing your personal information for any of these mailing lists.
