What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Email Subscribers
We love having people subscribe to the site and collect name and email address so we can notify you of other content being added to the site. On occasions we will also make you aware of other happenings with the Grounded Communications business, upcoming events, new classes, etc. Email addresses may also be used to provide you content via social media services you choose to access. We do not sell any email addresses or make them otherwise available to other companies/services.
Commenting on the site
Comments on the blog, classes, etc will result in capture of certain information. If there were to ever be repeated abusive comments, it would result in the IP address being blocked and potential sharing with legal authorities if any threats were made, etc. I cannot imagine that happening, but the internet gets pretty wild and who knows.
Community Members
Our members are a central thrust of our business and will be treated with the utmost respect. There are places where community members interact and share information, please use your discretion sharing information there. The community is expected to treat each other respectfully and will be moderated for abusive language, etc.
Any of the information you submit to us as we process your membership will remain confidential.
Email Address
As mentioned above, we can be reached via email at info{at}groundedandrising{dot}com. That email account collects name, email address, and IP address and any other fields clearly shown as is standard for emails. It connects to spam detection and allows us to respond as appropriate.
Media
If you upload images to the website or community, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract any location data from images on the website.
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.

Analytics
Who we share your data with

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time with the exception of username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
