Terms and Conditions

This website is a personal website written and edited by me. This website and its content is copyrighted by me, the owner of this site.

This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity. This website may accept forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation. The compensation received may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. That content, advertising space or post will be clearly identified as paid or sponsored content or designated as an "affiliate link." Regardless, I will only recommend products or services I believe will add value to my readers. The views and opinions expressed on this website are purely my own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.

This website may contain content which might present a conflict of interest. This content may not always be identified.

Privacy Policy

This blog does not share personal information with third parties for commercial reasons. We do employ analytics to study in order to optimize content and your reading and engagement experience through the use of cookies. Cookies may be disabled in your browser. 

Emails collected through forms or subscriptions will not be sold or given away. 

I am not responsible for any republished content from this site on other blogs or websites without my permission. 

Permissions Policy

With the exception of "guest posts" written by others, I own the content on this website. It is copyrighted in my name. While I want you to share my content, I also desire to protect my intellectual property rights. Thank you for your cooperation. 

Without My Permission

You are free to do the following without my permission:

  • Link to my site or any specific post or image on my site. 
  • Extract and re-post less than 200 words on any other site, provided you link back to my original post. 

Not Without My Permission

You must have my express written consent to do any of the following:

  • Print my posts in an non-commercial publication. With permission, you must include this copyright notice: "© 2018, Dr. Kathryn Adamson. All rights reserved. Originally published at www.kathrynadamson.com."
  • Use this content in for commercial purposes, including selling or licensing printed or digital versions of my content. 
  • Copy images and use them as if they were your own.
  • Alter, transform, or build upon this work. 

Re-posting and Translation Rights

I do not permit the re-posting of my posts in their entirety. This is because Google penalizes websites for publishing duplicate content. It often cannot tell which site hosts the original, so I risk getting penalized myself for granting permission. 

Guest Posts

Guest bloggers and photographers retain the copyright to the posts they write and pictures they take. The above permission guidelines do not apply to their work. If you are interested in re-posting or publishing their content, you must contact them directly. I cannot serve as a broker, agent, or contact point. 

If you have some use for my content that is not covered here, please contact me directly.

These policies are subject to change without notice.
