About

I am just a regular chick who loves GOSSIP…SHOES…BAGS…& BOYS…but not in that order (depends on the day of the week… ).

I grew up in the A and never left…but I don’t hesitate to leave often!

This site was created for all you ATLANTA folks who, like me, can’t seem to get enough of a good story! I hope to bring you tales from the hood as well as hot new music, event photos and celebrity/industry gossip.

However, Straightfromthea.com has no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Straightfromthea.com only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers. I rarely ever eat cookies but my favorites are Lorna Doones and ‘Nilla Wafers.

Third Party Advertising

The advertisements appearing on Straightfromthea.com are delivered to users by Google, among other services. Information about users’ visits to this site, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but not username, date of birth, or any other personal information), is used to serve ads to users on this site. No personal information about our users is ever transferred to any party by Straightfromthea.com; unless you want to give me your phone number. Keep in mind that I have figured out that ‘555′ numbers are not real, so don’t try that shit with me.

Log Files

Like most standard Website servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service providers (ISPs), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may use a tracking utility that uses log files to analyze user movement.

Business Transitions

In the event Straightfromthea.com goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company or sale of a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Fine Print.

I completely stole and copied most of the text of this privacy policy from another site’s privacy policy. I figured, hey, why reinvent the wheel, or in this case, the privacy policy. If you happen upon any privacy policies that look real similar to this one, then that’s probably where I got it. So, please don’t email me to tell me that I ripped off somebody’s privacy policy, when it is quite obvious that I have completely ripped off the style of ENTIRE websites in my futile attempt to make money on the internet. I get it. I suck. Now go click some of those sponsor links you overcritical bitch!
