Privacy Policy

Version 1.0.0 – Updated September 15, 2024 (All prior versions were drafts)

(Definitions): adoreandadbide.com is described hereafter in this Privacy Policy as “Adore & Abide”. Note: While this website is a sub-set of the trademarked brand Adore & Abide™ (see Terms of Use, especially section 6), in this Privacy Policy the term “Adore & Abide” is referencing exclusively to this website. Moreover, this Privacy Policy is also referring exclusively to the policy for this website not for the brand Adore & Abide™ as a whole.

(1). Adore & Abide does not intentionally collect any personal data via cookies or any tracking manner for any purpose including mass email, sale of data, etc. (except whereby Adore & Abide is reached out to first, in order to respond to the need of the one who reaches out as per section three [3] & five [5]). Paraphrasing DuckDuckGo’s® Privacy Policy, Adore & Abide’s privacy goal is to not track you, and to only obtain information when necessary. If this changes in the future for the sake of email newsletters, analytics for best sharing practices using more personalized data that would be gathered by cookies, etc., the new policy will be posted here & a copy of our Privacy Policy will be provided or linked 

(1.1): However, as is the case across the internet, data such as IP addresses and other such key connectivity identifiers are often transmitted to websites when attempting to connect. Our hosting platform as well as the website platform and necessary plug-ins (as described in section two [2]) may use this information for essential, analytical, and/or platform functionality purposes. 

(2): Adore & Abide is hosted on DreamHost®, built upon WordPress® with Elementor® & OceanWP® for design & theme. Various plug-ins are used for optimization, but no personal data (beyond built-in analytics which use data outlined [1.1]) should be gathered to the knowledge of Adore & Abide (which has been confirmed at the time of this writing [Aug. 30, 2024] via a free online website cookie tracker). 

(3): In the case that an update to one of these platforms that are used by Adore & Abide inadvertently collects cookies or in the case that our email is used for correspondence, Adore & Abide will not sell any personal information or use any of the information in any matter not required for the website’s core functionality and/or to respond to ensure client satisfaction, and will not be given to anyone outside of what is needed for core functionalities except where required under applicable law.

(4): Any links to external websites (such as Open Doors® or Instagram®) will be under the privacy policies & terms of use of the corresponding websites and their ownership. Adore & Abide explicitly takes absolutely no responsibility for any information, policies, or activities that take place upon these external websites, and we highly encourage you to look into privacy policies as you maneuver throughout the internet including our external links. This Privacy Policy is explicitly only applicable to this website.

(5): If you have any questions regarding our privacy policy and/or discover that any information is being tracked by Adore & Abide, please contact us via email at: adoreandabide@gmail.com. If you do email us, we will inherently then have any personal information you provide, and that information will fall under the same policies as paragraph three (3). 

(6): Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. The most recent privacy policy will be available here. By continuing to use this website, sharing information from this website, or communicating with us in any manner, you are bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.

(7): In any case where any part of this Privacy Policy is non-applicable, the rest of the policy remains intact as under applicable law.
