Who We Are

What Personal Data We Collect

Here at Scattered Squirrel we try very hard to limit the amount of personal information we collect.  This section explains what we collect and why we collect it.

Comments

If you choose to leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, name and email, and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.  This data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata (your personal information) are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.  We use a plug-in called Anti-Spam Bee to help keep the comments spam free.  Anit-Spam Bee does not collect any information.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us by email at alli@scatteredsquirrel.com

    I wanted to use your two page calendar for my own use. I know it says they are free, but can I have a place like Staples or Office Depot put the calendar into a spiral bond booklet for me? The pages are difficult to deal with floating around freely.
