What this policy covers
This policy applies when you visit our site, read our articles, or contact us. It describes what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the rights and choices available to you. For additional rights in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, read our GDPR and UK GDPR Notice.
Information we collect
We collect information in three ways.
- Information you provide: your name, email address, and the contents of messages you send to us.
- Information collected automatically: pages viewed, time on page, approximate location based on IP, device and browser type, and referral source.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files that help the site function, remember preferences, and measure audience size.
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless we request it for a specific purpose.
How we use your information
We use personal information for the purposes below.
- To analyze performance so we can improve content and user experience.
- To manage legal, compliance, and record-keeping needs.
- To communicate with you when you ask us to reply.
Legal bases for processing
Our legal bases depend on the context.
- Consent: for optional cookies and for contacting you when you request a reply.
- Legal obligation: when we must keep or disclose information to comply with the law.
If you withdraw consent, we will stop the related processing. Processing that already occurred remains lawful.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use necessary cookies for core functions such as page loading and security. We may use optional analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our pages. Where required, optional cookies run only with your consent. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies can affect site features.
Analytics and measurement
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to count visits, see which pages are popular, and diagnose technical issues. Analytics reports are generally aggregated. They help us decide what to improve and what to retire.
Advertising and commercial disclosures
Advertising or sponsorships may appear on the site. Editorial decisions are independent from advertising. If we use affiliate relationships at any point, we will disclose them in plain language on the relevant pages.
How we share information
We share personal data only with these categories.
- Service providers that host our site, deliver analytics, send essential communications, or provide security.
- Professional advisers and public authorities when required by law or to protect our rights.
- Parties to a business transition such as a merger or reorganization where a transfer of data is part of the process.
We do not sell personal information.
International transfers
Your data may be processed outside your country, including in India and other locations where our service providers operate. When data is transferred from regions with specific rules, we take steps designed to protect it, such as using appropriate contractual commitments where they apply.
Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose collected.
- Contact messages: generally twelve months after the conversation ends, unless we need them longer for legal reasons.
- Analytics data: kept according to the provider’s default retention or for up to twenty four months in aggregated form.
- Security logs: retained for a short period to investigate and prevent abuse.
When retention ends, data is deleted or anonymized.
Your choices
You can control cookies in your browser. You can choose not to provide certain information, although some features may not work without it. You may opt out of non-essential emails by replying with a request to stop.
Your rights
Your rights may include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. You can also withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis. Rights depend on local laws. To make a request, email privacy@bloggingbytheminute.com. We may ask for information to verify your identity.
For EEA and UK visitors, see our GDPR and UK GDPR Notice for details on rights and how to contact your supervisory authority.
Children’s privacy
Our site is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by local law. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can remove it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. These include encrypted transport, access controls, and periodic reviews of our settings. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. There is no widely accepted standard for how to respond. We treat these signals as a preference where possible but cannot guarantee changes to third party behavior. Check Google Privacy Policy.
Third party links and services
Our articles may mention third party sites or services. Their privacy practices are their own. Review their policies before using their products or sharing information with them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The effective date at the top shows when the latest update took effect. If changes are material, we will make a clear note on this page.
