Comments on this site use Blogger's comments. For purposes of this site, I don't obtain or keep any information beyond your comment, but Google has its own policy. 

I'm not sure if I'm using a contact form anywhere on this site beyond where I normally would check, but if you see one, it most likely emails me. Otherwise, I usually tell you guys to email me directly. If you do, I will most likely keep your email on file for a very long time lost in a sea of emails, and if I wanted to find it, I would struggle to do so (like the registration of that software I purchased 5 years ago when my computer crashed--I just can't find it). I can delete it after receiving it, but you will want to request that in your email. But if you are sending me threats or something illegal, I may have to keep it for legal reasons. 

The place in the sidebar is to sign up for the RSS feed through the one provided through Google's Feedburner. It should only notify you of new blog posts. And you should be able to unsubscribe anytime. 

If you find a place to sign up for my happy mail, or michelle's newsletter, I go through AWeber, and I will be only be sending emails for updates about my life happenings. View AWeber's privacy policy. For purposes of me, I won't be selling your email to anyone. I am struggling to send emails outside of whatever I have automated, but if I do send you an email, it's about me and updates to my stuff and things I'm doing. Some may seem third party ish, but it would be from me, such as I might send an email promoting a friend's project or a project I'm involved in. You can unsubscribe at anytime.

This part I pretty much just copied and pasted from another website, and I'm going to ad lib where necessary, but it's really a double checker on how I might be using your information. 

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

If there is a breach of personal information, the only thing I'll have to contact you about it is the email list for those who subscribed. If you don't provide me your email, and I'm hacked, I have no idea how to reach you to let you know that.
