I do not sell, nor plan to ever sell, any information that you voluntarily or involuntarily add to my blog, through a visit, an email subscription or through a comment. From time to time I may contact you using the email you voluntarily provided, in order to give you more information about your genealogy or history comment or question. If someone else inquires about needing your email address, I will contact you first asking permission before it is released, otherwise they may add a reply to your comment and their notice will be auto-sent to you.

If you subscribe to my blog via email, each time I post a story you receive a message that also provides you with an OPT OUT to cancel your email subscription.
The Jetpack widget I use on Cow Hampshire blog collects statistical information on referrers (the browser program used), search engine terms used by visitors, and top posts and pages (a count). I do not track the origin (country or IP) of visitors unless you voluntarily post a comment. The Jetpack information is used only to help me determine what topics or stories I could write that my blog visitors seem most interested in.
My weblog also has social media buttons that allow you to share a blog post to FaceBook, Twitter, or Pocket. The use of these social media buttons provides information to THOSE sites. [Please click on the appropriate social media web site to see their GDPR policies).
