Privacy policy

Who we are

Moss & Fog publishes mossandfog.com from Portland, Oregon. In this policy, “we” and “us” mean Moss & Fog. Questions about your data go to admin@mossandfog.com.

What you give us

• Newsletter sign-ups. Your email address, so we can send Fog Signals. Sign-ups are handled by WordPress.com (Jetpack) and by Kit.
• The contact form. Your name, email address and message.
• Comments. Your name, email address, comment and IP address. Comments are checked for spam by Akismet, and your email may be used to show your Gravatar picture.
• Memberships. Your name, email and membership details, handled by Memberful. Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
• Shop orders. Purchases happen on shop.mossandfog.com, which runs on Shopify and has its own privacy policy.

What we collect automatically

Like most websites, we measure how the site is used: which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, and what device and browser they use. We use two tools for this:

• Google Analytics, loaded through Google Site Kit and Google Tag Manager.
• Jetpack Stats, from WordPress.com.

These tools use cookies and similar technology. We use what they tell us to understand which stories people enjoy and to keep the site running well.

Embedded content

Some stories include videos or posts embedded from other sites, such as YouTube. Those embeds behave as if you had visited the other site, and it may collect data about you under its own policy.

Advertising

We don’t run third-party advertising networks on mossandfog.com, and we don’t sell your personal information.

Who we share it with

Only the services named above, which process data on our behalf to run the site, the newsletter, memberships and the shop. We may also share information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Newsletter and member details are kept until you unsubscribe or cancel. Contact messages and comments are kept for as long as they’re useful to us or remain on the site. Analytics data is kept according to each tool’s retention settings.

Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from any email with the link at the bottom of it, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to have it deleted. Write to admin@mossandfog.com and we’ll help.

Children

Moss & Fog isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we change how we handle data, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
