What Information Does This Site Collect?

If you voluntarily sign up for Becca Wierwille’s newsletter or blog to enter a giveaway or to receive free content (e-books or other offers), this site will record your email address, first name, and last name. If you win a physical prize in a giveaway, you will be asked to give your physical address. You can refuse to supply personal information, but that will exclude you from activities such as receiving newsletters, free offers, and other exclusive content.

You may unsubscribe or ask for your data to be deleted at any time.
