What personal data we collect and why we collect it
This site only contacts people who specifically request that I do so or in the event that they have signed up to receive my free email communications, or subscribed to the blog via email through WordPress/Jetpack to notify them when a new post is published, or joined in with my linky by adding a link to a post on their site.

You may request to have your details removed from my website, for example those left in comments, or stored within the third party service I use for the linky (inLinkz.com) at any time by emailing me at info@wandermustfamily.com
To ensure the security and safety of this site, I may create regular backups of all information on this site, which are held on my own machine or within the database of the server of my site. Each backup file will be deleted in full when the next one is created.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

Analytics
This site may use Google Analytics to track data.
Competitions
This site may run regular competitions and giveaways in the future. In order to facilitate these, competition entrants will be required to supply certain information. This will include but will not be limited to; full name, email address, and full postal address.
Full postal addresses of winners will be shared with brands where necessary to ensure delivery of your prize. As such, supplying of full postal address is necessary to enter any competitions on this site. Your details will never be shared with anyone other than the brand supplying the prize for the giveaway or competition which you enter. I will take steps to ensure that prize suppliers are GDPR compliant and do not use your details for any other reason than to provide your prize, but I cannot be held responsible for any misuse of data by any third party.
Email addresses supplied during the entering of competitions and giveaways will be used solely for the purposes of contacting winners. Your details will never be added to mailing lists or shared with any third parties unless necessary.
The sharing of full name, email address, and full postal address will be required in order to facilitate competitions and giveaways, and therefore the collection of this information is granted legally under the GDPR base of ‘contract’ As such, if you are not happy to share your full name, email address, and full postal address I will be unable to continue with your competition or giveaway entrance.
In the event that the online software I may use to facilitate competitions and giveaways in the future incurs a security breach, I will notify the ICO within 72 hours of being aware of the breach. I will endeavour to notify all competition entrants for whom I have details as soon as is reasonably and safely practicable.
You may request to have your details removed from my database and competition software any time after a competition or giveaway has ended by contacting me at info@wandermustfamily.com

When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services through the Site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting, or the provider of such products or services.
Who we share your data with
Be aware that I may occasionally release information about my visitors when release is appropriate to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the site or the public.
I take steps to ensure that all Virtual Assistants I use to help me complete tasks are GDPR knowledgeable and compliant in their practices.
I always disclose when a post contains affiliate links.
