Who We Are
This site is Catholic Vagabond (catholicvagabond.com). For any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can reach us at vagabond.catholic@gmail.com.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam. Comments are checked using Antispam Bee, a spam-filtering plugin that does not send your data to any third-party service.
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in a cookie for your convenience on future comments. These cookies last one year.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (via the MonsterInsights plugin) to understand how visitors use this site — pages viewed, time on site, and general location (country/city level). This data is anonymized where possible and is not used to personally identify you. You can read Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Email Subscriptions
If you subscribe to updates (via a signup form or popup on this site, powered by Creative Mail and OptinMonster), we collect your email address to send you new posts and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email you receive. We do not sell or share your email address with outside parties.
Contact Forms
If you use a contact form on this site (powered by WPForms), the information you submit — typically your name, email, and message — is sent to us by email and is not shared with third parties beyond what’s needed to deliver that email.
Embedded Content
Posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images) from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly, and that site may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Hosting & Security
This site is hosted on Bluehost and uses Jetpack for security and performance. These services may process technical data (like IP addresses) as part of running and protecting the site.
How Long We Keep Data
Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized automatically. Email subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Your Rights
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or request that it be deleted, by emailing vagabond.catholic@gmail.com. We will respond as soon as reasonably possible.
