Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to Gwen Mansfield and we have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of one of our services.
  • In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data, please contact our support team.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Gwen Mansfield collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Gwen Mansfield’s purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how Gwen Mansfield’s visitors use the website. From time to time, Gwen Mansfield may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the website.

Gwen Mansfield also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. Gwen Mansfield only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying-information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
