As a visitor to The Rescued Letters, your privacy is important to me. Here’s what happens with your information when you visit these pages:
The I-Didn’t-Go-To-Law-School Version
If you subscribe to The Rescued Letters, I collect your email address (and your first name if you provide it) through a third party email service provider. I do this so that I can send you cool stuff that no one else gets to see. I won’t ever spam, sell, or do anything weird with your email address.
There may be third party advertisers, affiliates, and companies which utilize cookies to provide advertisements and products that you might be interested in. Sadly, internet cookies are not a sweet treat. Instead they are little love notes that web servers send to your web browser when you visit a site. Your browser keeps the love note on your computer’s hard drive and then sends it back to the web server when you visit more sites. It’s like passing that note to your 5th grade crush all over again. But instead of helping you confirm that your crush actually likes you, internet cookies help the internet work for you by delivering content that you’ll appreciate and return to.
Your IP address (it’s like a mailing address for your computer) and other information (like the day and time of your visit) is tracked for the purpose of understanding trends and assisting me in providing the most helpful content for you.
You’ll also find links to other sites here that I can’t control. They’ll have their own privacy policies and I can’t control those either. Rats.
Everything privacy-related here at TheRescuedLetters.com is common to sites across the internet. I try to follow the crowd in that way.
