Privacy Policy

This Privacy Notice explains how we, at Woven Red Productions, process information about the visitors to our websites in connection with the services provided through Automattic. Read on!

Who’s Who and What This Privacy Notice Covers

This website is powered by WordPress.com , a service of Automattic that offers the design, features, and support to bring a website to life.

Automattic are the folks behind a variety of products and services designed to allow anyone–from bloggers, to small business owners, and enterprises–to create, publish, and manage their own websites:

• WordPress.com offers the design, features, and support to bring a website to life.
• With Jetpack, website owners that host their websites elsewhere can connect those websites to features and tools available through WordPress.com and WooCommerce Services.
• Polldaddy helps site owners create quizzes, surveys, and polls that fit their brand and vision.
• Intense Debate gives site owners tools to manage comments on their websites.
• Akismet helps keep spam under control by filtering out spam comments–hundreds of millions, every day!

The Privacy Notice for the Automattic’s websites (like automattic.com, wordpress.com, jetpack.com, or akismet.com) is covered in their Privacy Policy. To keep things simple, in this Privacy Notice we’ll refer to Woven Red Productions as the “Owner” of the websites created by Woven Red Productions which are referred to as the “Sites.” Visitors to the Sites can read published content and interact with the Sites through features such as comments, “likes,” poll/survey responses, and follows.This Privacy Notice is to help visitors to the Sites understand the information collected about them, how that happens on the Sites, and how it’s collected, used, and shared.

Information Collected About Visitors to the Sites

Information about visitors to the Sites is collected in a few different ways–provided by the  visitors to the Site, automatically collected, and provided by the Owner to Automattic.

Information a Visitor Provides to a Site

Information that visitors provide directly to the Sites primarily happens when visitors type into a text field on a Site, like a comment field or a sign-up form. The Owner may also implement other ways to allow Site visitors to provide information directly through their Sites.

Here are the most common ways in which a visitor directly provides information to a Site:

• Follower and Subscriber Information: When a visitor signs up to follow or subscribe to a Site, the sign-up information, which typically includes an email address, is collected.
• Site Comments: When a visitor leaves a comment on a Site, the comment and other information that the visitor provides along with the comment, such as the visitor’s name and email address, is collected.
• PollDaddy Survey Responses: When a visitor completes a poll, quiz, or other type of survey prepared by a User via Polldaddy.com, the visitor’s responses to those surveys, and other information that the survey owner requires for a poll/quiz/survey response, like an e-mail address, is collected.
• Order and Shipment Information: If a visitor orders something (hooray!) from the Site, information to process that order, such as credit card and billing information, and an address for shipping the package along to the recipient and calculating applicable taxes, may be collected. This information may also be used for other purposes–for example, to send marketing and other communications to customers, and to provide analytics information about their ecommerce site (e.g., the number of orders from particular geographic areas).
• Other Information Entered on the Site: Other information that a visitor enters on the Site–such as a contact form submission, a search query, or Site registration will also be collected.

Information Automatically Collected from the Site

Some information is automatically collected. This information is about visitors to a Site and depends on which of Automattic’s services the Site uses. The list includes:

• Technical Data from a Visitor’s Computer and Etcetera: Information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available about visitors to a Site, such as the IP address, browser type, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.
• Visitor Interactions: Information about a visitor’s interactions with a Site, including the “likes” and “ratings” left by visitors to a Site.
• Location Information: The approximate location of a visitor’s device from the IP address to, for example, tally for the Owner how many people visit their Sites from certain geographic regions.
• Commenter Information: Information about visitors who comment on Sites. The information collected typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address…oh, and the comment itself, of course).
• Polldaddy Response Information: Information about visitors who respond to a Polldaddy survey that typically includes IP address, browser type, operating system, user agent, and the web page last visited.
• Intense Debate Commenter Information: Information about visitors who comment on Sites that use Automattic’s Intense Debate service. The information typically includes the IP address and account information on the Site, along with the comment.
• Information from Cookies and Other Technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a Site stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the Site each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on Sites. Automattic uses cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help identify and track visitors and Site usage, and to deliver targeted ads when ads are enabled for free WordPress.com sites or when ads are enabled on a Site through WordAds or Jetpack Ads (see the “Other Tools” section below for more details). For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies for tracking, including how visitors can control the use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

Other Information Provided by the Owner

The Owner may also provide information to Automattic about visitors to their Sites. For example, a directory or other information about Site visitors and customers to Automattic’s “backend” administrative platform for managing the Site.
