Here at Shelf Shrine, we are committed to the highest standards in maintaining the privacy and protection of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains to you the information collected on our website at shelfshrine.com (“Site”) and how the information is used.
Children under 13 years of age
We care about protecting the privacy of children. We won’t knowingly allow anyone under the age of 13 to provide us with any personally identifying information. It is highly encouraged that children should always get permission from their parents or guardian before sending any information about themselves (such as their names, email addresses, and phone numbers) over the Internet, to us, or to anyone else. If you are under the age of 13, please do not provide us with any personally identifying information (such as your name, your email address, or your phone number).

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Payment Information
You’ll need to provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, address, and information about the service you are purchasing. You may also need to provide certain payment-related information directly to our third-party payment processors, as described below.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor traffic to this site and to monitor traffic from subscription emails sent via MailChimp. Google Analytics collects information that includes your IP address, browser type and pages visited on this site, by placing a tracking cookie on your web browser. It does not collect names, emails, or any physical addresses. This data is used solely for the purposes of monitoring traffic to wpkind.com. All data is kept for 26 months before being automatically deleted.

We may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities regarding illegal activities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that in good faith we believe to be unlawful.

All the products and services we highlight are recommended for their performance, quality, and overall reputation regardless of any affiliate relationships.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Google Analytics trackers are automatically deleted after 26 months.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Collection and Use of Data
We may, from time to time, send you an email regarding our products and services. In addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or information from us and our partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any time you can easily edit your account information to no longer receive such offers and mailings.
