Who we are
Our website addresses are: https://handwritingsuccess.com and https://shop.handwritingsuccess.com
What personal data we collect and why we collect it:
We never sell your information.
Comments
If visitor comments are allowed, 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.
If visitor Gravatars are allowed, 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.
Media
If uploading is allowed, when you 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.
Mobile Applications
Handwriting Success does not collect user identifiable information from its mobile applications sold via Apple App Store nor Google Play Store. We only have access to In-app subscription and purchase time, date and country information. End-users who supply app ratings or comments to the App Store or Google Play do so under the terms and privacy policies set forth on those platforms.
Contact Forms
Information that you provide will only be used to service you better, and is never sold, traded, rented or released for any other purpose. We share your information only with our distributor, Allport Editions. We securely upload customer contact information to MailChimp.com for e-mail notices. If at any time you do not wish to receive email news from us, please contact us and let us know that you do not want to receive these updates. Or, you may unsubscribe when you receive an e-mail newsletter or at this link.

Cookies
If comments are allowed, when you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

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 the visitor has 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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

With whom we share your data

If you make a purchase and/or leave a review, Trustpilot receives your contact and order information for the purpose of soliciting Customer Service and Product Reviews.
How long we retain your data
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 who register on our website, 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.
Contact form information and customer data are stored indefinitely beginning in 2012. We honor requests to delete names and contact information gathered by contact forms and customer purchase history.
