Policy for Newletters/email Updates/Special Offers
On the Website TIDBITS, you may request regular posting updates sent to your email, through the optin forms embedded in this site. TIDBITS uses an email service, Convertkit.com, to collect and store these emails and send broadcasts.

You may have also signed up for the newsletter in order to gain access to specialized products and offers. These offers are clearly stated on each optin form. I do not sell or distribute your information.
All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click.

In the instance that you purchase a TIDBITS created product from the SHOP TIDBITS page, we may also store your email information in order to send product updates. To have that information removed, please email me at [email protected]
