Privacy Policy

Author Nike Chillemi posted this, specific to her, and agreed to let me pretty much copy and paste.

Due to legislation passed in Europe, bloggers in the US could be fined large amounts if they don’t make their privacy policy clear.

Definintion of GDPR: The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) seeks to create a data protection law framework across the EU and aims to give back to data users, control of their personal data, while imposing strict rules on those hosting and processing this data, anywhere in the world.
