Who we are
Our website address is: https://cuspycritters.com.
We are a small company based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We’ve been planning to do something with this idea of folks born on the astrological cusp for many moons. Now we have begun.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
This page is not finalized as we have only just begun. At the moment, we are collecting emails so you can be notified when we do launch. We are using Mailchimp (see their page for their privacy policy) to collect emails. You can optionally include your name and your zodiac cusp sign (of course!) We will use the zodiac sign information for (eventually) developing fun stuff.
We use WordPress as the CMS (Content Management System) for this site, and our website is hosted with Flywheel (premium wordpress hosting which provides excellent security).
Analytics
For Analytics are now using Jetpack (WordPress plugin). This is just all too complicated and so here is a link to Automattic ‘s privacy policy. They own Jetpack. Basically we are now tracking site visits. Which shows us information like the country you come from, and possibly how you found the site. In general, we find the stats to be not that specific. (Like it is just by Country view, not city). We also now use the google search console. This used to be known as google webmaster tools. Here’s a link https://search.google.com/search-console/aboutand here’s google’s overall policies. https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US
Analytics II: August 23 2019 – we added google analytics. The default settings. the user-id thing is not turned on. Here’s their privacy policy. https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US
NOTE: Pretty much all the text after this paragraph is basically default information that we loaded up from WordPress / Genesis Framework theme (Monochrome) and may or may not be relevant.
Comments
Right now we have comments disabled.
In the future, when visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
Once we have that set up we will be using the premium plug-in by Gravity Forms for WordPress. And also in case there is any confusion, we are using Mailchimp for any sign-up forms. In the future we will likely use Shopify to enable e-commerce.
Cookies
Right now we have comments disabled. In the future, if you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you sign up to be notified when our site launches this will be handled by Mailchimp, here’s their page: https://mailchimp.com/legal/
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or 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.

Not in place yet: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
