who we are
Our website address is: https://crescentmoonkitchen.com. As the owner of crescentmoonkitchen.com (the “Site”), we understand that your privacy is of critical importance. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect from you via the Site and how we use and disclose such information.
what information we collect
We sometimes collect personal information that you provide to us. Some information — such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our website. All types of collected information are further categorized below.
information from email forms
We will only collect your email address when you voluntarily provide it to us, either when leaving a comment or by completing the email opt-in form.
To assist with sending you requested information, we use Kit (formerly ConvertKit) to collect and store your email address. Their Privacy Policy outlines their use of your personal and anonymized data. You may opt out of the collection of your data by unsubscribing (we will remove your data) and contacting Kit using the instructions on their privacy page.
information from comments
When visitors leave comments on this Website we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help prevent spam. 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. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
information from google analytics
This Website uses Google analytics to record information about the pages a user has seen, for example the URL of the page, time of day, device used, etc. The information that we collect is anonymized and sent to Google Analytics.
Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users come from (also known as “IP geolocation”). See this page for Google Analytics security and usage of data
In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that allows you to opt-out of Google Analytics.

cookies
Cookies are small bits of data that the Website will save on your device when you visit it. We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies are outlined below.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
In addition, Google Analytics may use first-party cookies to report on visitor interactions on this website.
Users may disable cookies or delete any individual cookie from your browser settings tab. Please note that disabling cookies can have a negative impact on the functionality of our website for you.
Embedded content from other websites
Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
Suggested text: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes
