We ask visitors who submit a contact form to include their name, email address, and (optionally) phone number as well as preferred method of contact.

We use the plugins Jetpack by WordPress.com and PixelYourSite to collect data from visitors each day regarding viewed pages, clicks on links and videos, searches, and the geographical country of origin of visitors.
3) Comments:
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.
The plugin Akismet anti-spam collects information about visitors who comment on our site. The information they collect 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, and the comment itself).

2. How We Use the Information We Collect and Receive
We use the contact information to provide customer services for visitors and market our monthly newsletter to customers. The monthly newsletter is completely optional and customers are able to opt-out at any time.
Analytical data are collected in aggregate to protect the privacy of visitors, such that information, especially geolocation, of any single visitor can not be ascertained.
