General
Lutsiasblog.com is a personal blog. By using this site, you are indicating your agreement to the terms of this privacy policy. If you disagree with any of the terms below, please do not use this site.
Lutsia’s Blog reserves the right to alter the terms of this policy at any time. Changes will be notified to you by an announcement on this site. Your continued use of this site will indicate your agreement to such changes.
This privacy notice aims to give you information on how we collect and process your personal data.
My commitment to your Privacy
Your privacy is important to me. I am committed to protecting your privacy and will ensure that the information I obtain from you and use will always be processed and transferred in compliance with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). A copy of this policy is provided by link in the welcome email received by all subscribers in future to Lutsia’s Blog and on the subscription pop-up.
The information I collect
This website is not intended for children and I do not knowingly collect data relating to children.
This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on this website. The types of personal information collected are:
1. Email Address
This is the email that you provide if you wish to receive the Lutsia’s Blog newsletter in future.
This information is maintained by WordPress.com in a contacts list within their server – I access this list through the web based WordPress.com dashboard only. I do not process your email further, do not download it and do not share it with any third party (e.g. with brands).
I will use your email address to email you the Lutsia’s Blog newsletter in future which may contain direct or indirect marketing material (for example, sponsored posts of products and brands and brand advertisements).
When you subscribe to receive my newsletter in future, you consent to receiving this marketing information which forms part of my blog. If you do not wish to receive such marketing information, you should not subscribe to the newsletter. You can continue to use my website freely, without subscribing to the newsletter.
2. Your name
This is only in relation to comments on posts; this could be just a first name only (not identifiable data), first and last name, alias (not identifiable data) or initials (not identifiable data) and/or your email address. I do not process this data further and do not store it on my computer. This data is stored within the comments app which is supplied by a third party through WordPress.com.
3. Technical Data
My website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, small text files placed on your computer, to collect standard internet log and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. Google Analytics does not identify personal information or individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
I use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. Lutsia’s Blog does not hold or process this data – enquiries about processing of technical data should be addressed to Google.
Some of our advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons on our site.
These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in their respective advertisements and links that appear on www.lutsiasblog.com and which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used by our site’s third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on the site.
‘Lutsiasblog’ has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of certain practices. Lutsia’s Blog’s privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites.
If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers’ respective websites.

Legal Basis for processing your information
