Your privacy is critically important to us.

It is Drug-Free Sleep’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to www.drugfreesleep.com. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website. We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through the Website and does not apply to our collection of information from other sources.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and conditions posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Drug-Free Sleep collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Drug-Free Sleep’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Drug-Free Sleep’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Drug-Free Sleep may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Drug-Free Sleep also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on www.drugfreesleep.com blog posts. Drug-Free Sleep only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we 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). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
