This policy explains what information bjandersonspeaks.com (“this site,” “we,” “our”) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. This site is operated by BJ Anderson. We keep it simple: we collect what you send us and the basic technical data every website collects, we use it to respond to you and improve the site, and we do not sell it.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you submit a contact or booking form, we receive what you enter: typically your name, email address, phone number, event name, and message. When you subscribe to email updates, we receive your email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this site collects usage data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, the time and duration of your visit, and the site that referred you. This happens through our hosting platform and its analytics (see “Who processes your data” below).

How we use it

• To respond to your inquiry and discuss your event
• To send email updates you have subscribed to, such as new blog posts and talks
• To understand how the site is used and improve it
• To maintain the security of the site and comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their marketing.

Cookies

This site uses cookies and similar technologies for things like security, remembering preferences, and measuring visits. Some are session cookies that expire when you close your browser; others persist until they expire or you delete them. You can set your browser to refuse cookies. Parts of the site may not work as smoothly without them, but nothing essential to reading it requires them.

Who processes your data

This site is hosted on WordPress.com, operated by Automattic Inc. Form submissions, email subscriptions, and site analytics are processed through WordPress.com and its Jetpack services, under Automattic’s privacy policy. Newsletter emails include an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops those emails immediately.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know, the right to deletion, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. To make any of these requests, use the contact form and we will respond within a reasonable time. We keep form submissions and subscriber information only as long as needed for the purposes above.

Children’s privacy

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
