This page is dedicated to information that you may wish to know when navigating this blog. Any and all suggestions made on this blog are based on opinion only. This means that nothing written here is to be taken as professional medical or mental health advice. Please keep in mind that what works for some may not work for others. Though well-intentioned, some advice may not be suitable for you or your family.
At this time, I am not currently affiliated with any companies or products, therefore, any product suggestions that I make are not done with the intention of making a profit. There are no advertisements on Mothering Multiples, though future collaborations are possible. If any questions arise regarding the following, please let me know. If you are an organization interested in affiliation, collaboration, or advertising, please feel free to contact me.
Thoughtful and respectful dialogue is highly encouraged and welcomed here! We can’t build a Mothering Multiples community without open discussion. When engaging in conversation, it is safe to assume that not everyone will always agree on everything. I want everyone to find this to be a safe space for sharing their thoughts and feelings. This is especially important as mothers, where we often feel as if we need to hide what’s going on internally.
With that in mind, all comments that are shared and posted on this blog are considered to be public unless otherwise noted. As the blog owner, I reserve the right to edit or delete any and all comments that I deem to be unhelpful, unrelated, or hurtful in any way. This will occur without notice and at my full discretion. Users may be restricted access depending on the severity and nature of a deleted comment. Reasons for edited and deleted comments include the following:
Please be aware that this policy may be changed at any time. Comments will be held in moderation until reviewed and manually authorized by myself. If you have previously made a comment that was approved for public view, any secondary comments may be automatically approved.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected as well as the 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 the 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 visit my login page, a temporary cookie will be set 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, several cookies will be set in order 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.
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 your data is shared with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long your data is retained
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on my website (if any), the personal information they provide in their user profile is stored. 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.
Your rights regarding 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. You can also request that I erase any personal data that is held about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
You found me! I’m so glad you did.
My name is Donyial and I am a first-time mom to identical twin girls. I’m new to this whole thing, but I have plenty to say about my journey into motherhood thus far.
