Privacy Policy

On this page:

Who’s in control?

When you surf the web you should be in control; in full control. Who knows what about me, when and where, are not simply questions that need to be answered; you should be the one deciding the answer.

Good News Blog collects two kinds of information: anonymous information and information you decide to provide.

Anonymous information

Anonymous information consists of the usage of this web site.

How many people visited? How many pages were read? Which pages are those? From which country did a visitor come? What type of browser did that visitor use? Did that visitor come to the site via a search engine? If so, which? And with which query?

All these types of information are collected in two ways:

  • In the log files of the web server that serves this web site
  • Via third party web site usage tracking services

Neither the log files nor the third party web site tracking services used link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

Information you provide

In only two instances will we ask you to provide personal information in the form of an email address:

Use of the contact form or signing up for the newsletter are completely optional.

The email address you provide when using the contact form is only used to reply to your message, if needed. These addresses are not collected nor shared, sold or rented to any third party.

When signing up for the newsletter, the email address you provide to FeedBlitz, the service that sends out the newsletter, is stored to be able to email you your newsletter. Good News Blog nor FeedBlitz share, sell or rent your email address to any third party.

Other applicable privacy policies

When you use the Good News Blog web site you indirectly use third party services. Each of those services have their own privacy policy. I encourage you to read those privacy policies to fully answer all your privacy questions.

External links & privacy

Good News Blog links to external sites where appropriate. Those sites are not under the editorial control of Good News Blog and this privacy policy does not extend to those sites. The privacy policies of external sites may be in line with or conflict with this one. It is even possible that some external sites have no prvicay policy in place at all.
