Inspired Parenting Magazine Privacy Policy – 2018
Inspired Parenting Magazine is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all of our subscribers and visitors to www.inspiredparentingmagazine.com ("Our Site") regardless of where in the world they live, and will only collect and use personal data in ways that are described here, and in a way that is consistent with our obligations and your rights under the law and the GDPR.
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a new data protection law in the EU, which came into force on May 25th 2018. The aim of the GDPR is to give citizens of the EU control over their personal data and change the approach of organizations across the world towards data privacy.
The GDPR provides much stronger rules than existing laws and is much more restrictive than the "EU cookie law."
For instance, users must confirm that their data can be collected, there must a clear privacy policy showing what data is going to be stored, how it is going to be used, and provide the user a right to withdraw the consent to the use of personal data (consequently deleting the data), if required.
The GDPR applies to data collected about EU citizens from anywhere in the world. As a consequence, a website with any EU visitors or customers like Our Site must comply with the GDPR, which means virtually all businesses that want to sell products or services to the European market.
This policy describes the ways that personally identifiable and anonymous information about you is gathered, our information sharing practices, and how you may request changes to the way this information is shared.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully and ensure that you understand it. Your acceptance of this Privacy Policy is deemed to occur upon your first use of Our Site. If you do not accept and agree with this Privacy Policy, you must stop using Our Site immediately.
