Privacy Policy

Who I Am

Ed Carey dot com is a personal website blog with a shared focus on family, local history, and antiques.

I also operate a licensed brick-and-mortar business in the state of Delaware, organized under Corner Door Enterprises LLC, Old Lamps New Again, which is featured on this website.

For any privacy-related questions, you can reach me at ed at ed carey dot com.

Who I Share Your Data With

I do not sell my visitors’ private personal information.

I use third-party services (data processors) on this site, and I list them specifically (with links to their privacy policies) in the sections below.

I disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to subcontractors that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on my behalf or to provide services, and (ii) that have agreed, in writing, not to disclose it to others. Some of those sub-contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country. By using this website and services, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. I will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

I may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

If I ever were to engage in any onward transfers of your data with third parties for a purpose other than which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized, I would provide you with an opt-out choice to limit the use and disclosure of your personal data.

I use cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of my services, and their website access preferences. I describe the specific cookies used in the sections below. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using this website, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

All content is provided by me; visitors cannot leave comments, forum posts, contribute to any articles or posts directly through this website, or upload media files of any type.

Embedded Content and Links

Embeds are pieces from other websites that are shown from time-to-time on this website. They behave in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website and may use cookies or capture information. Typically, embedded content is from websites that share videos, images, or other content. These services may collect your IP Address, your User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including correlating your interaction with the content with your account with that service, if you are logged in to that service.

I may embed pieces from other websites, from time-to-time, in blog articles.  Credits for them are clearly noted and privacy questions may be directed to those sources.

Links (hyperlinks) point to pages on other websites. Privacy questions about those websites should be directed to them.
