What personal data we collect and why we collect it
When visitors leave comments on my site the data shown in the comments form is collected automatically and sent to me in an special email. The IP address and browser user agent string info is also collected. That will only be used if I ever need to do spam detection. If you leave a comment, the comment and the data you provide are retained indefinitely. You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information
When an individual makes a purchase that person’s address and email address will be retained indefinitely by Donna Schaffer for marketing purposes. Usually that means contact from Donna by email or mail up to 3x a year. Maybe someday it will be more often, the ability to opt out is always available. This information is never shared with any other person or organization.

Credit Card Information
Credit card details usually go only to Paypal. In the event that Donna must collect these details for shipping costs, the record of that credit card is destroyed upon confirmation that the piece has been received.
