This Privacy Policy explains how BobbinWise (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit bobbinwise.com (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. We collect:
- Information you give us. When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address, and message. When you subscribe to our newsletter we collect your email address.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools may record standard log data such as your browser type, device, approximate location, referring page, and the pages you view. Cookies and similar technologies may also store information on your device.
How we use information
- To reply to your messages and fulfill guide requests.
- To send our newsletter to subscribers who ask for it.
- To understand which guides are useful so we can improve them.
- To keep the Site secure and working correctly.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to remember your consent choices and to support analytics and, in the future, advertising. You can manage your choices at any time using the Cookie Settings link in our footer, which reopens our consent panel. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features may then not work as intended. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We may display advertising through Google AdSense and other partners. When we do:
- Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.
Any third party advertising partners have their own privacy policies governing their use of cookies and data.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to measure traffic and improve content. Analytics providers process aggregated, largely anonymous data about how visitors use the Site. Where required, analytics only run after you consent through our cookie panel.
Your rights under GDPR
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Your rights under CCPA
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. To make a request, email us at [email protected].
Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
Data retention and security
We keep contact and newsletter data only as long as needed for the purpose it was given, and we apply reasonable safeguards to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third party links
Our guides sometimes link to reputable outside sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it last changed. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
