Your privacy is critically important to me. Accordingly, I have developed this Policy in order for you to understand how I collect, use, communicate and disclose and make use of personal information.
I am committed to conducting business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained. I have a few fundamental principles:
I don’t ask you for personal information unless I truly need it. (I can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.
I don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop my products, or protect my rights.
I don’t store personal information on my servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of my services..
Navigating this Privacy Policy
To help you navigate our Privacy Policy, we have divided the Policy into sections to allow easy reference to key concepts. The sections are as follows:
Like most website operators, Maurice Phillips collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Maurice Phillips’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Maurice Phillips’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Maurice Phillips may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Maurice Phillips also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. Maurice Phillips only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Certain visitors to Maurice Phillips’s websites choose to interact with Maurice Phillips in ways that require Maurice Phillips to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Maurice Phillips gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, Maurice Phillips collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Maurice Phillips. Maurice Phillips does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Maurice Phillips may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Maurice Phillips may monitor the most popular posts or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Maurice Phillips may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Maurice Phillips does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of www.mauricephillips.me, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. AdWords Remarketing is a Remarketing and Behavioral Targeting service provided by Google. It connects the activity of www.mauricephillips.me with the Adwords advertising network and the Doubleclick Cookie.
Maurice Phillips discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Maurice Phillips’s behalf or to provide services available at Maurice Phillips’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Maurice Phillips’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Maurice Phillips will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Maurice Phillips discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Maurice Phillips believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Maurice Phillips, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Maurice Phillips website and have supplied your email address, Maurice Phillips may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Maurice Phillips and my products. I primarily use my various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so I expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send me a request (for example via a support email or via one of my feedback mechanisms), I reserve the right to publish it in order to help me clarify or respond to your request or to help me support other users. Maurice Phillips takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
I use cookies to give you the best possible experience on my website. Cookies allow you to do many things such as log on, have us ‘remember’ your log-in preferences.

Frequently asked questions
Can cookies pass on my personal information to others? I never use the data gathered through cookies to contact you via post, email or phone. I may use cookies to show you subtly tailored content on my website or other websites of things I think you might be interested in.
Do cookies compromise my security? The cookies I use are completely safe. In fact, many of them are used purely to provide important security features such as protecting your data.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your computer, smartphone or other device for accessing the internet, whenever you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device.
I use cookies for a variety of reasons, such as to determine preferences, let users navigate between pages efficiently, verify the user and carry out other essential security checks. Some of the functions that cookies perform can also be achieved using similar technologies. This policy refers to ‘cookies’ throughout, however it also covers these alternate mechanisms.
How cookies make my website safer and easier to use
I use cookies to safeguard your privacy when you’re browsing my website.
Cookies can also allow us to tailor the content of my website to suit your interests. For example, instead of displaying promotional messages about products you already have, they let us show you other services you may be interested in.
Finally, i use ‘analytics’ cookies to help us make my website better for those who visit it regularly. They help us work out what users like and don’t like and how I can improve things for you.
When I include links to other websites, please bear in mind they will have their own privacy and cookie policies that will govern the use of any information you submit. I recommend you read their policies as I am not responsible or liable for their privacy practices.
How I work with trusted third parties
Third parties are trusted suppliers to me. They include partners who provide important functionality to my website, such as my live chat service, and partners who help us improve my website, such as Google Analytics and Adobe, who provide statistics about which pages are visited most frequently.
The only time cookies would enable us to share personal information such as your name, address, telephone or email is when you have given us express consent to pass it on to a trusted third party.
We may show advertisements for 3rd party companies. Some of these will be general campaign-related adverts but others will be tailored to your likely interests based upon previous web browsing activity – these can be easily identified as they feature a small blue AdChoices icon in the corner of the advert. If you want to opt-out of receiving targeted adverts from me, too bad.
How I improve my email
I use email analytics and reporting tools to see how many of my emails are opened and which links receive the most clicks. Knowing which articles and topics my customers like and which they don’t like helps us improve my content and make my emails more relevant.
I maintain strict security standards and procedures to prevent unauthorized access to information about you. I will never contact you by email or otherwise to ask you to validate personal information such as your user ID, password, or account numbers.
If you wish to unsubscribe from marketing emails, please click on the link located in the footer of any marketing email you’ve received from me.

Per the FTC rules, I would need to disclose if I used an Amazon link that gets me 10 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents.

Any item I reference or review, I may have received for free.
Any link may be a referral, or affiliate link that pays me for the referral.

However, keep in mind;
If I was paid to try a product and I thought it was terrible, I will never say it’s terrific.
I will never base an opinion on anything related to payment.
I will never talk about my experience with a product if I haven’t actually tried the product.
