If you need to have your comments removed and cannot figure out how to do this yourself, please contact The A to Z Team.
How will it be used: currently or possibly in the future?
The A to Z Team doesn't currently have a newsletter. We do not sell information. We only reach out to those who might be featured, have entered our contests, or have requested our help.
Who will it be shared with?
The A to Z Team doesn't share information with others. Blogger has a privacy policy of its own.
What is the potential implication for the individual from whom you are collecting the information?
The implication of leaving a comment is that those visiting this blog might reply to the comment and might search for you online. If you subscribe using the Feedburner widget, you may receive email notices when there are new posts.
Is your intended use likely to cause individuals to object or complain?
The A to Z Team does NOT intend to use any information in an objectionable way.
How can individuals opt out of your data collection protocols?
Don't provide your email.
How can individuals get an electronic record of the information you have about them?
The A to Z Team doesn't keep any "hidden" records of information. Search the blog for your own comments. You may ask the team to search for information if you like.
How can individuals direct you to transfer the information to another entity?
A reason for providing your information elsewhere would need to be provided, along with proof that you are you.
Every piece of personal data that you collect must be essential for the service that is being offered. If it is not clearly essential, like giving an email address to sign up for an online newsletter, you must explain why it is necessary.
This blog exists for the blog hop. We offer help and inspiration for writers of blogs. This blogging challenge is optional. If you have a question about this, please ask the team.
If you want to continue emailing your old contacts, you’ll need to ask for consent properly and in accordance with the GDPR. That means sending a re-opt-in campaign asking if they would still like to receive your newsletter. All you have to do is include a button that clearly states “Yes, I would like to continue receiving newsletters,” and then keep only contacts who have clicked on this button. You’ll have to include separate buttons if you have multiple different types of emails.
The A to Z Team does not run a newsletter, nor do we access the FeedBurner subscriber list.
If you plan to send any communications to your users by way of their personal contact information, it’s necessary to include a communications clause.
We do not intend to send unsolicited email. We only reach out to people who might be featured on the blog or have taken place in our "contests."

Even if they do delete their accounts, some personal information may need to be retained in your database.
Comments remain on the blog even after unsubscribing from the FeedBurner email list. Please reach out to the AtoZ team if you require your comments to also be removed and are unable to do so yourself. You will need to verify that you are you.
Parental consent is required to process personal data of children age 16 and younger.
We have the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy and practices at any time, now or in the future. Changes to this Privacy Policy can be found here.
