Who I am
I am a work-from-home mother of six, consulting only from personal experience and years of research (since 2005) on natural health topics and more specifically on the organic personal care and nutritional products offered by the Australian company called Miessence. My personal website address is www.KVOrganics.com and my Miessence shop site is www.miessence.com/kvorganics. I am not a doctor or qualified natural health practitioner, and I cannot give you medical advice of any kind. I can only share personal anecdotal experiences of my own family and/or customers who have given me permission to share their testimonials (which should be regarded fully as anecdotal only and not curative or claiming any guarantees of results – everyone’s body is different and everyone’s experiences can therefore be different as well), as well as general educational articles or other resources that I have found helpful in my own journey. It is your responsibility to consult your MD or ND as needed for your specific health concerns.
What personal data I collect and why I collect it
Email Subscribers
People give me their names and email addresses, and permission to email them, in person or online for a number of reasons – e.g. free educational resources, entries into giveaways, and/or specific information requested on the Miessence products and/or home business. I use this contact info to deliver the requested information and then stay in touch ongoing via my 2x/month email newsletter for as long as the person remains interested. If at any time you no longer wish to receive my email newsletter, you can easily unsubscribe any time using the update/unsubscribe link at the bottom of each newsletter and/or contact me to request that you be removed from my database, which is currently maintained in my account on the Infusionsoft email marketing platform. I never share your information with outside marketing agencies, and will only share your contact information with Miessence as appropriate and when necessary (e.g. you won a gift certificate giveaway and so I send them your contact info for them to create your gift certificate).
If you are a Miessence customer also, please be aware that Miessence HQ in Australia maintains its own database of customers, and as an independent representative of the company, I have no direct control over their database. I only have control over my own email list of interested contacts. If you have questions about Miessence’s use of your contact info at any time, please feel free to contact them directly at support (at) miessence (dot) com.
Please note: The remainder of this privacy policy page was written in template form by WordPress, and tweaked only slightly by myself. To be honest, my relatively tech-unsaavy self only vaguely understands a bit of it… but I’m leaving it here to cover all legal bases with the new international data protection regulations in effect as of May 25, 2018. 🙂

Comments
If visitors leave comments on my site, the WordPress platform collects 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.
Media
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.
Cookies
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.

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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
