Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: http://www.geriwinters.com.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Email List

There are forms on the site where visitors can choose to join an email list that we maintain. When one of those forms is submitted, we collect the information on the form and store it. We then use the email address to send a message asking you to confirm that you want to receive emails from us. You have to click a link in the email to indicate your acceptance. If you do not click the link, we will not send you email. Every email you receive from the list has an unsubscribe link in it. If you click that link, you will no longer receive email from us.

In both cases, either you did not confirm you wanted email or you unsubscribed, your name and email address remain in our database with an indicator that you do not want to receive email from us.

Contact forms

Contact forms on our site are provided so you can send us email. Your name and email address are sent to us along with your message. Your name and email address only exist in email, they are not stored in a database. This information you provided is only used to respond to your message.

Embedded content from other websites

Content 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

Our hosting provider, Bluehost, may be collecting anonymous information in order to monitor and maintain their servers. We do not have access to that data.

Who we share your data with

If you request to be added to our email list, we will send your data to our list service provider, Get Response. You can find out about their data policies here https://www.getresponse.com/legal/email-privacy.html and here: https://www.getresponse.com/legal/privacy.html. Be aware that if you click on those links you will be taken to a different site, getresponse.com

When we request that Get Response send an email to the subscribers of our list, Get Response uses your data to send you that email.

If you use the contact form to send us a message, your message, name, and email address will be sent to our email server at Bluehost so that it can be delivered to our email account. Bluehost has its own privacy policies here: https://www.bluehost.com/terms/privacy-policy. Be aware that if you click on that link you will be taken to a different site, bluehost.com.

How long we retain your data

If you join the email list, your name and email address are retained indefinitely. This is so we can send you the email you requested. If you are no longer subscribed, we retain the information to make it easy for you to subscribe again in the future.

Depending on the nature of any messages you send to us, your message may be deleted or stored indefinitely for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

What rights you have over your data

If you join the email list, you may unsubscribe at any time. You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. If you had not unsubscribed, erasing your data will also unsubscribe you from the list since we will no longer have your email address.

Where we send your data

If you join the email list we send your data to Get Response as described above.

If you send us a message through the contact form, we send it to our email server at Bluehost as described above.

Additional information

How we protect your data

If you join our email list, your name and email address can only be accessed by our system administrators. The system administrator accounts are protected with strong passwords.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In the case that a data breach is detected, we will send an email to every email list subscriber that we have contact information for notifying them that a data breach has occurred. It is possible in this situation that subscribers will start to get unsolicited emails after a data breach. We always recommend caution when opening email from unknown parties.
