What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
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.
Contact Forms
The information your provide is sent as email messages and only Elizabeth Petrulis has access. The info is also stored in the database on the hosting, email, or backup servers.
Akismet is enabled on the site in the contact form. The following submission data — IP address, user agent, name, email address, website, and message — is submitted to the Akismet service (owned by Automattic) for the sole purpose of spam checking. The actual submission data is stored in the database of this site and is emailed directly to elizabethpetrulis.com. This email will include the submitter’s IP address, timestamp, name, email address, website, and message.
Post and post meta data associated with a user’s comment submission. As Akismet is enabled on the site, the IP address and user agent originally submitted with the comment are synced, as well, as they are stored in post meta.
Questionnaires
For the commission and feedback questionnaires we use TYPEFORM, a service by TYPEFORM S.L. The data collected about you and your project is processed by us for the sole purpose of creating your custom heirloom portrait, or to improve our service. Further information on conditions of use and data protection can be found at typeform.

Neither will we ever see your username, email or password if you use a PayPal account. Read the PayPal Privacy Policy.
