Who we are

Hi, my name is Crystal and I am the owner of Cheesecake It Is website address is: https://cheesecakeitis.com/. This Privacy Policy below will tell you in detail of what data this site collects and what it is used for. If you need to contact me you can send me an email to cheesecakeitis @ gmail.com

Note that this Privacy Policy can be revised from time to time and will always be done on this page. The last update was 1/29/2022. By using this site you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

What personal data we collect and why.

When you visit my site I automatically collect personal info such as,

• Your IP address (aka Internet Protocol addresses)
• Type of browser you use.
• Your ISP (aka Internet Service Provider)
• The time, date and length of your visit.
• The pages you visit on this site.
• The site you came from and go to when you leave the site

All of that data is collected and stored using Google Analytics (You can read Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/). I collect it for administrative purposes so that I can see what types of things people like the most. Knowing the types of content that is most liked and from what areas helps me better understand what content to keep posting. I don’t want to waste your time or mine so it is better to narrow it down.

Comments

When you comment on this site I do ask for your name and email address. That is so I know the name of the person to replay to and if need be email you with a follow up if the answer cannot be covered in the comment area. When your comment publishes, it will show your name but not your email.

You do have the right to comment without filling in the name, email or website if you choose to do so. It will still, however, collect your IP address and browser.

We collect the IP and, ISP and browser to help detect spam from bots and other abusive users.

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: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if you have one) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
