Privacy Policy - Crafting Your Lifestyle

This Privacy Policy is adapted from the Privacy Policy of Automattic which is available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license. Throughout this policy, we will refer to our website as “Services.” The term “you” applies to any visitors who uses, visits and/or views the website.

Who we are

At Crafting Your Lifestyle, accessible from https://www.craftingyourlifestyle.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy will indicate what information we collect from you and how it is used.

Consent

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. We may post changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and your continued use of the website constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with the Privacy Policy we ask that you no longer access or use the website.

Information we collect

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to communicate with you or to make our Services better. We collect this information from two sources: 1) The information you provide us, and 2) Automatically through operating our Website.

Information You Provide to Us

Communications with us: When you contact us directly through email, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.

Information We Collect Automatically

Log Information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, including the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log information when you use our Services.
Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of our Services. For example, we collect information about the actions that users perform on a site using our Jetpack services — in other words, who did what and when. We also collect information about what happens when you use our Services (e.g., page views and interactions with our posts). We may use this information to provide you with offers from our affiliates in exchange for a commission without additional cost to you.
Location information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions.
Information from cookies & other technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. Crafting Your Lifestyle uses cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services, as well as deliver targeted ads. For more information about our use of cookies and other technologies for tracking, including how you can control the use of cookies, please see our “Use of Cookies” section below.

How and Why we Use your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including:

To ensure quality, maintain safety, and improve our content. For example, by monitoring and analyzing how users interact with our content we can create new features that we think our users will enjoy and make our Services easier to use.
To protect our website, our users, and the public. For example, by detecting security incidents; detecting and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; fighting spam; complying with our legal obligations; and protecting the rights and property of Crafting Your Lifestyle
To fix problems with our Services. For example, by monitoring, debugging, repairing, and preventing issues.
To place and manage ads on our site as part of our advertising program, and understand ad performance.
To communicate with you and respond to your inquiries.

Analytics

We collect information about you through Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects and reports website traffic. Google Analytics collects information about your location, the pages you visit, the device you use to access the website and other patterns related to the usage of our Services.

Sharing Information

How We Share Information

We share information about you in limited circumstances and with appropriate safeguards for your privacy. These are spelled out below:

Third Parties: We may share information about you with third-party vendors who need the information in order to provide their services to us or to provide their services to you. This includes vendors that help us provide our Services to you (like fraud prevention services, our website hosting partners, email support services, analytics providers, and other affiliates). We may use Google Adsense advertising along with any other third party advertising on the website. Third party vendors, such as google use cookies to serve ads based on user’s prior visits to other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to the sites and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting managing their ad settings from their google account.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request.
Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Crafting Your Lifestyle goes out of business, your personal information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you. Like any other website, Crafting Your Lifestyle uses “cookies”.

In order to better understand how our Services are used, we may use cookies for various reasons including page views, your preferences, serving ads based on your interests and affiliate marketing. In general, we record the following data for each event: IP address, geographic location, timestamp of event, and browser language.

Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons; some enable a personalized experience for visitors and some allow the display of advertising from selected third-party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor interacts with a post. We utilize cookies for our Site Stats feature. This tallies the unique numbers of visitors to a site, as well as the number from specific geographic locations.

Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. If you disable cookies, please be aware that some of the features of our service may not function correctly.

Our Advertising Partners

Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).

Ads appearing on any of our Services may be delivered by advertising networks. We may also use Google Adsense advertising along with any other third-party advertising on the website. These ad networks and analytics providers may set tracking technologies (like cookies) to collect information about your use of our Services and across other websites and online services. These technologies allow these third parties to recognize your device to compile information about you or others who use your device. This information allows us and other companies to, among other things, analyze and track usage, determine the popularity of certain content, and deliver ads that may be more targeted to your interests. Please note this Privacy Policy only covers the collection of information by Crafting Your Lifestyle and does not cover the collection of information by any third-party advertisers or analytics providers.

Third-Party Software and Services

Within our content, we may include or advertise third-party links, products or services on the website. Please keep in mind that interacting with them may mean providing information about yourself to those third parties. Also note that if you use the third-party service or grant access, your data will be handled in accordance with the third party’s privacy policy and practices. We don’t own or control these third parties, and they have their own rules about information collection, use, and sharing, which you should review before using the software or services.

Security

While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. We monitor our website for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

Your Rights

If you are located in certain parts of the world, including California and countries that fall under the scope of the European General Data Protection Regulation (aka the “GDPR”), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, like the right to request access to or deletion of your data.

Right to Opt Out

We never directly sell your personal information in the conventional sense (i.e., for money).

We may share your information as necessary with our third-party service providers to provide our Services to you. To the extent that we share your information with certain advertising, marketing, or analytics vendors, this can be considered a “sale” or “share” in certain U.S. States, which you may have the right to opt out of.

Our opt-out is managed through cookies, so if you delete cookies, your browser is set to delete cookies automatically after a certain length of time, or if you visit sites in a different browser, you’ll need to make this selection again.

We do not collect or process your sensitive (and potentially sensitive) personal information except where it is strictly necessary to provide you with our service, where the processing is not for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you, or for other purposes that do not require an option to limit under California law. We don’t knowingly sell or share personal information of those under 16.

Your Information & Personalized Advertising

We show ads on our own sites, and the revenue these ads generate lets us run our website Crafting Your Lifestyle. As part of our advertising program, we and our users do use cookies to share certain device identifiers and information about your browsing activities with our advertising partners, and those advertising partners may use that information to show you personalized ads on our site.

The personal information we share includes online identifiers; internet or other network or device activity (such as cookie information, other device identifiers, and IP address); and geolocation data (approximate location information from your IP address). These disclosures may be considered a “sale” or “share” of information under some US state privacy laws. We do not sell (or share) information through our ads program that identifies you personally, like your name or contact information.
