Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to me. Accordingly, I have developed this Policy so that you can understand how I collect, use, communicate, disclose, and make use of personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.

I will identify the purposes for which I am collecting personal information before or at the time of collection.

  • I will collect and use personal information solely to fulfill those purposes specified by me and for other compatible purposes unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.
  • I will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.
  • I will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.
  • Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
  • I will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
  • I will readily make available to customers information about my policies and practices regarding the management of personal information.

When visiting DebiStangeland.com, I use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This means the IP address used to access the site will be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information helps me 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. That’s to keep us all safe! I only use this information for statistical analysis purposes, and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, traffic cookies help me provide you with a better website by enabling me to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives me access to your computer or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with me.

I am committed to conducting my business following these principles to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.

If you require any more information or have any questions about my privacy policy, please feel free to contact me by email at RealDotMedia{at}gmail{dot}com.
