This blog is built using WordPress and hosted by Bluehost.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
comments
The plugin wpDiscuz is used to collect comments on posts and pages. We collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the commenter’s IP address to help with spam detection. All IP addresses are anonymized. The data collected consists of a name and an email address, both required, and an optional website address. If you leave a comment on our site 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. You can manage these cookies through your browser settings. All data collected is stored locally and not shared with anyone else.
Your name will be shown publicly, but not your email.
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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
You can delete your comments if you are logged in with WordPress or have opted in to save your name and email address. On any post go down to the comment section and click on the gear icon next to the comment count. This will open a pop-up window from where you can delete the desired comments and manage your subscriptions to comments. You can send a request by email using the same email address you commented with to hookedbythatbook@gmail.com.
We reserve the right to monitor all comments and to remove any comments that are deemed inappropriate, offensive, spam, or otherwise at our discretion.
LIKES
The plugin WP Ulike is used to record likes on pages and posts. Only an IP address is collected and it is anonymized. Any data collected is stored locally and not shared with anyone else.
CONTACT FORM
The WPForms plugin is used to manage contact form submissions. When you contact us through the contact form, you are required to enter your name and email address, along with your message. This information is sent as an email message to hookedbythatbook@gmail.com.
