At this time, Cal Geographic (“calgeographic.com”, “us”, “we”) does not view, store, or utilize user (user of calgeographic.com = “reader, “user”, “you”, “yours”) data. At this time we do not provide user access to calgeographic.com through comment platforms or sign-ups for comments or memberships, so we do not see or collect user data in that manner like many blogs.
We also do not engage in direct marketing, and have blocked advertisements from the calgeographic.com website to the best of our ability (paid for no-ad subscription to WordPress.COM). At this time calgeographic.com does not offer services for hire, or sell anything. Therefore, we are not actively collecting, analyzing, utilizing or storing user data from these avenues.
However, calgeographic.com is currently hosted on a WordPress.COM blogging template and platform. We have no control or full knowledge of how WordPress.COM collects or utilizes user data through our website.
The only sources of user data input and transfer we know of with calgeographic.com directly, is through the email sign up button on our website, which is a function of WordPress.com. This email sign up button serves to notify readers who sign up voluntarily through email, when calgeographic.com posts a new blog entry. You can unsubscribe from your calgeographic.com subscription through the WordPress.COM post announcements you receive via email as well.
At this time we are not accessing or storing any user data or email addresses from this reader email sign-up function, to our knowledge. However, we do understand that this data would be available to calgeographic.com if we chose to view or use it. So, by law we have the following Privacy Policy to cover our bases.
