What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

This website currently does not accept user-generated content including comments, but should we do so in the future, we would like to explain what would happen to your data when you leave a comment. When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

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.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

When you fill out a contact form on nevertherightword.com we only collect the information you enter into the contact form. If the form asks for your name, email address, or any other personal information, then that information is sent to us via email.

Email addresses provided in contact forms are used by us to reply to you in regards to your reason for contacting us and to add you to our mailing list. We never sell information from contact forms to any third parties for any purpose.

Please note: we can’t answer every topic we receive, but we answer as many as we can. Topics and questions exceeding 500 words have less chance of being responded to unless we feel like the answer will help many people. Be aware that your topic may be published or paraphrased here or in other media. However, all questions will be kept anonymous. ​

By submitting a topic request, you consent for your email address to be added to our mailing list. Your email address is only used to send you our newsletter and NTRW updates. We dislike spam email as much as you do and promise you'll only hear from us when we have something we think you'll want to hear about. You can always use the unsubscribe link included in the newsletter.

We also wanted to give a heads up to all our lovely visitors who like to send us generic messages asking to guest post for unrelated niches or topics of that nature. We would kindly like to remind you that we do not participate in non-organic link-building strategies. Unfortunately, we automatically delete these messages without reading, and our spam filtering system keeps the follow-up messages out of our inbox. Hopefully, this has saved you some valuable time!
