This privacy policy sets out how Storehours LLC (the owners of JamesDaviesAuthor website) uses and protects any information that you give when you use this website.
At Storehours LLC, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our website. In particular, we want you to know that Storehours LLC is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. We just don’t do that sort of thing. But just in case you don’t believe us, in this Privacy Policy, we’ve provided lots of detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure. Grab a cup of Joe (or a beer) and read on.
This policy is effective from January 2021.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We may collect the following information:
- Name

- The stuff that Google Analytics collects – in fact we have outlined all that in our Cookies Policy

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 is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
