What personal data I collect and why I collect it

Your name and comment content will be displayed on the site if it passes moderation (no spam or unkind comments will be allowed in discussion). Your website may be linked if you enter it when submitting your comment.
Media
In general, users are not able to upload images or other media files to this website. However, if you do upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
When you fill out a contact form on motifmotif.com I only collect the information you enter into the contact form. If the form asks for your name, email address, or any other personal information, then that information is sent to me via email and retained in the inbox unless you ask for it to be deleted.

Cookies
Cookies are used only to enhance your site experience (for example, if you interact with a subscription or cookie policy pop-up or banner it will not reappear for you again for an extended period of time for your convenience).
Upon visiting this site Google Analytics 4 applies a tracking cookie.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you have visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
Tracking what pages you use helps me to know what content is popular. Here’s how it works.
As you use this Website, I use automatic data collection technology (Google Analytics 4) to collect certain information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns. This generally includes anonymized information about where you are, how you use this website and any communications between your computer and this site. Among other things, it will collect data about the type of computer you use, your Internet connection, your IP address, your operating system, and your browser type.
I collect this data for statistical purposes and I don’t collect personal information. The purpose of this data is to improve this Website and offerings.
If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics so that none of your personal information is collected and stored by Google Analytics, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on here. For more information on how Google collects and uses your data, you can access the Google Privacy Policy here.
Who I share your data with
I don’t and will never sell or share your data with anyone. I do use a 3rd party email provider to store your email address if you voluntarily signed up for my email newsletter but you can opt out at any time. Simply go to any of the emails I’ve sent you and hit the unsubscribe button to be removed from the list.
How long I retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on this website (if any), I also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username).
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where I send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Affiliate Programs
I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
I also have several other companies that I earn affiliate commissions off of by linking to their products.
Contact information
