Effective Date: January 29, 2019

Welcome to our bebejaz.com (“the website”). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit and interact with our website. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection laws. By accessing and using our website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect:

We may collect the following types of information when you interact with our website:

a. Personal Information: When you voluntarily provide it to us, we may collect personal information, such as your name, email address, and any other information you choose to share when subscribing to our newsletter, leaving comments, or contacting us through the contact form. 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.

b. Log Data: Our servers automatically record certain information when you access our website. This information may include your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit on our website.

c. Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather information about how our website is used. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Use of Information:

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

a. Personalization: To tailor the content and advertisements on our website to better suit your interests and preferences.

b. Communication: To respond to your inquiries, comments, or requests and to provide you with updates about the website.

c. Analytics: To analyze user behavior, trends, and preferences to improve the website’s content, design, and functionality.

d. Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Data Sharing:

We will not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your information with the following entities:

a. Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers to help operate the website or provide specific services. These service providers are obligated to protect your data and can only use it for the purposes specified by us. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

b. Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests from government authorities or to protect our rights and interests.

Embedded content from other websites:

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Third-Party Links:

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party sites before providing any personal information to them.

Data Security:

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children’s Privacy:

Our website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.

How long we retain your data:

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.

Your Choices:

You have the right to access, update, and delete the personal information we hold about you. You can also opt-out of receiving promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link provided in the email. 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.

Changes to this Privacy Policy:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised date will be indicated at the top of the page.
