Who we are
Our website address is: http://www.butbobbi.com. This Privacy Policy explains how But Bobbi collects, uses, and safeguards your personal information when you visit our website.
Information Collection and Use
We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, and demographic information (such as your age, gender, and interests) when you voluntarily submit it to us through our website, such as when you subscribe to our newsletter or leave comments on our blog posts.
We may also automatically collect certain information about your device, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring website URLs, to analyze trends and improve our website’s functionality and user experience.
Use of Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Personalize your experience on our website and deliver relevant content and advertisements.
- Communicate with you, including responding to your inquiries and providing updates about our website and services.
- Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and interactions on our website to improve our content and user experience.
- Prevent fraudulent activities and ensure compliance with our Terms of Use and applicable laws and regulations.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as required by law or as necessary to provide services to you. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take appropriate steps to remove such information from our systems.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
