This Privacy Notice explains how we, at Blessing Associates, process information about users.
Information We Collect About Our Users
We collect information about visitors to our Site in a few different ways–we collect certain information that the visitors provide to the Site through voluntary communications, and we collect some information automatically.
Information a User Provides
Users primarily share information when they type into a text field or interact with postings, like a comment field, a contact form, email communications, social media postings, social media shares, social media likes or follows, social media direct messages, or a sign-up form. Our Site may also implement other ways to allow visitors to provide information directly.
Here are the most common ways in which a visitor directly provides information to us:
- Follower and Subscriber Information: When a visitor signs up to follow or subscribe to a Site using Jetpack or WordPress.com, we collect the sign-up information requested by the Site, which typically includes an email address and/or a link to the users own blog or gravatar profile.
- Site Comments: When a visitor leaves a comment on a Site, we collect that comment, and other information that the visitor provides along with the comment, such as the visitor’s name and email address.
- Crowdsignal Survey Responses: When a visitor completes a poll, quiz, or other type of survey prepared by a User via Crowdsignal.com or Kwiksurveys.com, we collect the visitor’s responses to those surveys, and other information that the survey owner requires for a poll/quiz/survey response.
- Direct Communication: When a visitor emails or directly communicates with the site owner, the provided data may be collected as needed for follow-up communication. This includes for example names or usernames given and email addresses.
- Social Media Communications: When a visitor interacts with social media sites, their public data may be collected including usernames and links to affiliated profiles.
- WooCommerce Store: We collect information about you during the checkout process on our store.
- While you visit our site, we’ll track:
- Products you’ve viewed: we’ll use this to, for example, show you products you’ve recently viewed
- Location, IP address and browser type: we’ll use this for purposes like estimating taxes and shipping
- We’ll also use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you’re browsing our site.
- When you purchase from us, we’ll ask you to provide information including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, credit card/payment details and optional account information like username and password.
- While you visit our site, we’ll track:
- WooCommerce Account: If you create an account, we will store your name, address, email and phone number, which will be used to populate the checkout for future orders.
- Other Information Entered on the Site: We may also collect other information that a visitor enters on the Site–such as a contact form submission, a search query, or Site registration.

Search Engine Optimization
This website uses Google Analytics, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Yandex Webmaster Tools as part of search engine optimization. Through these parties, this site may collect derivative data including user’s IP address, browser, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and information about how and when users visit the website. The information gathered (generally through cookies) will be transmitted to that company’s location and services for storage.
Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process this data on Google’s behalf. Google states that it will in never associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly as noted elsewhere in this Privacy Policy. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.
Google Analytics also offers a deactivation add-on for most current browsers that provides you with more control over what data Google can collect on websites you access. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) used by Google Analytics not to transmit any information about website visits to Google Analytics. However, the browser deactivation add-on offered by Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may engage.
Google Analytics also uses electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single pixel gifs) and are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our site is used.
You can find additional information on how to install the browser add-on referenced above at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
For the cases in which personal data is transferred to the US, Google has self-certified pursuant to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework).

We may use your information for other business purposes, such as data analysis, identifying usage trends, to evaluate and improve our Website, products, and your experience. We may use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individual end users and does not include personal information. We will not use identifiable personal information without your consent.
Anonymous data may be gathered via surveys or opinion polls and the results published. In this case, personal data that might identify the specific visitor will in no way be requested or shared.
This website has no intention of collection or retaining information beyond the brief time it is needed for these purposes. Once the communication or order is completed, private data will be deleted from our personal systems within 90 days.
How We Share Visitor Information
Blessing Associates will never directly share your information with others except in the limited circumstances listed below. Information will be kept only so long as is necessary to complete the requested communication (e.g. to respond to your contact request) or as long as you leave the comment up. Where communication has ended, the information, emails, or any copies of communications will be deleted within 90 days except where maintained for the protection of Blessing Associate’s legal interests.
We may share information collected about Users in the limited circumstances spelled out below:
- Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a specific purpose.
- Legal Requests & Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).
- Forwarding Materials to Police: Blessing Associates is not a government, police, or investigative agency. Should you contact us with information (email, contact form, comments, any other format) or should we deem information provided to be significant in an on-going investigation or to the health and safety of others, we may at our own discretion provide that material to the relevant police. In this situation, information will be sent to the formally recognized national police agency; this would not include an NGO, non-profit, or other organization. The material will be sent in-tact and police will have full access to any attached personal information, whether it is knowingly provided (email address, name, username, etc.) or embedded in the platform (IP address, location, etc.). We offer NO ASSURANCES OF ANONYMITY from the police!
- Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.
- Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved. We may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Blessing Associates or the public at large. For example, if we have a good faith belief that there is an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury, we may disclose information related to the emergency without delay.
- Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Blessing Associates goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, User information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Notice would continue to apply to user information and the party receiving this information may continue to use this information, but only consistent with this Privacy Notice.
- Information Shared Publicly: Information that users choose to make public is disclosed publicly. That means, of course, that information like user comments and “likes” are all available to others, including information about the user that is displayed in connection with a comment or “like” (such as a visitor’s WordPress.com username and Gravatar). Public information may also be indexed by search engines or used by third parties.
We do not control what advertisers or third party sites might do. Potential third parties that may collect and or share data include, but are not limited to:
- WordPress & Partner Services
Their privacy policies apply to actions taken by those sites. There may be affiliate links on this website that may interact with third party sites and their privacy policies would apply. Please stay informed and be vigilant!
How Long We Keep Visitor Information
If we are not legally required to keep it, we generally discard information about users within 90 days when no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it — those purposes which are described in the “How We Use Visitor Information” section above.
This does not include information provided when purchasing products from our store. In that case, we will store order information for up to 10 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, and items purchased.
Inactive accounts for the shop will be deleted within 2 months.
Pending, Failed, and Cancelled orders will be retained for 7 days.
Completed Orders will be retained for 3 months.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Other Tools
Our Services may contain ads from third party ad networks and advertisers, and our site may integrate other tools and services (such as Google Analytics, Yandex Webmaster Tools, Google Search Console, and third party plugins). Please note that this Privacy Notice only covers the collection of information by Blessing Associates, and does not cover the collection by any third party.
Ad networks and analytics providers may set tracking technologies (like cookies) to collect information about visitors’ use of a Site and across other websites and online services, such as a visitor’s IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages, links clicked, and conversion information. This information may be used by those companies to, among other things, analyze and track usage, determine the popularity of certain content, and deliver advertisements that may be more targeted to visitor interests. For more information about how to manage and delete cookies, visit aboutcookies.org, and for more information on interest-based ads, including information about how visitors may be able to opt out of having their web browsing information used for behavioral advertising purposes, please visit aboutads.info/choices (US based) and youronlinechoices.eu (EU based).
Is Your Information Safe?
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process.
However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security, and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.
Do We Collect Information from Minors (18 or Younger)
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Website, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Website.
If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at blessingblc@outlook.com.
Is Your Information Shared Internationally
Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our Website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities and by those third parties with whom we may share your personal information, in the United States, and other countries.
If you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), then these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar laws as comprehensive as those in your country. We will however take all necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable law.
Your Privacy Rights
In some regions (like the EEA and UK), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
If you are a resident in the EEA or UK and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Website.

Do Not Track Control
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
California Specific Protections
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us at blessingblc@outlook.com.

Verification process
Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g. phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. If, however, we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity, and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.
