At Bleenga (www.bleenga.com), protecting your personal information is a responsibility that I take very seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected and how it is used.
First and foremost, I will never share your email address or any other sensitive personally identifiable information to anyone without your direct authorized consent. Point blank, period.
1. Log Files
Like many other websites, I use log files to help learn about when, from where, and how often traffic flows to this site. The information in the log files include:

None of this information is linked to anything that is personally identifiable.
2. Cookies and web beacons
Bleenga.com, like nearly all WordPress blogs, stores “convenience” cookies on your computer whenever you leave a comment. The cookies record the name, email address, and URL that you enter when you submit a comment so that you won’t have to re-type that info the next time you leave a comment. This information is also used to store general user preferences and customize the web page content based on your browser type.
Third-party advertisers may also place and read cookies on your browser and/or use web beacons to collect information. Bleenga has no access or control over these cookies. You should review the respective privacy policies on any and all third-party ad servers for more information regarding their practices and how to opt-out.
If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your web browser options. Instructions for doing so and for other cookie-related management can be found on the specific web browsers’ websites.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics tool I use to help understand how visitors engage with this website. It reports website trends using cookies and web beacons without identifying individual visitors. You can read more at the Google Analytics Privacy Overview.

Amazon.com Privacy Notice.
Third-Party Affiliate Networks
Third party affiliate marketing networks use cookies to help make sure I get a commission when you buy a product after clicking on a link or ad banner that takes you to the site of one of their merchants.
3. Other
Users may choose to receive email blog updates via JetPack by submitting an email address to the email subscription form. I use a secure opt-in subscription system and I reserve the right to contact subscribers with information related to this website and blog.

When leaving a comment, users must submit a name and email address. To combat spam, the WordPress blogging platform also records the IP address of anyone submitting a comment.
Again, none of this information will be shared with anyone without your direct permission.
