The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection practices of Randels Ramblings (“we” or “us” or "RR".

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using this site, you agree that your use of our site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this privacy policy.

By continuing to use this site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.

This information is purely used to analyze trends, administer the site, track users movement and gather broad demographic information for internal use. Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

When visitors leave comments on this 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.
