So here it is – 25th May, the great GDPR day and I am none the wiser, PainPals!  I think I am right in saying that as a WordPress blogger who does not have direct access to your emails, it is WordPress who has responsibility and accountability for your the storage of details and therefore for a privacy policy.

My understanding is that if you like, comment or share a post on this blog, you are permitting the use of your information by WordPress and their service providers.

The WordPress privacy policy can be found here.

The Jetpack policy can be found here.

Masha on A Sweeter Life Blog has generously allowed use of her words which cover this blog too:

“You may have by now gotten other emails regarding the GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation which was designed to protect internet users from breaches of trust. However, now the GDPR is making giving your data, consent to use your email and other data information optional, requiring websites to inform you within 72 hours of a breach.

So I just wanted to inform you that I’m a blogger, I don’t have a newsletter and I don’t have an e-commerce site, so this doesn’t really apply. But, I wanted to reach out to you and assure you all that you are receiving this email because you had previously subscribed to my blog giving your consent to receive my emails.

PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT I DO NOT SHARE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WITH ANYONE.

 And you always have the option to un-subscribe from receiving my emails.

Please feel free to get in touch with me for any questions you may have.

As always, I’m very grateful that you’re allowing me to share with you my insights and inspiration.”
