This privacy policy explains what personal data BusiBeee ("we", "us") collects when you visit our website, why we collect it and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Newsletter: your email address when you subscribe.
- Contact form: your name, email address and the contents of your message.
- Comments: your name, email address (never published) and comment text.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, referring page and the pages you visit. We use this to keep the site secure, prevent spam and understand which articles are useful. Where you consent, we also use cookies and similar technologies described in our cookie policy.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to show advertising. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- If you choose "Essential only" in our cookie banner, we request non-personalised ads.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them, and the data is aggregated so it does not identify you personally.
How we use your information
- To send the newsletter you asked for (you can unsubscribe at any time from any email).
- To reply to messages and moderate comments.
- To operate, secure and improve the website.
- To show advertising that keeps BusiBeee free to read.
We never sell your personal information.
Legal bases (EEA and UK visitors)
We process data on the basis of your consent (newsletter, non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (site security, spam prevention, understanding readership) and, where relevant, to comply with legal obligations.
Data retention
Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months. Comments remain while they are published. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected].
Children
BusiBeee is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Third-party links
Our articles link to other websites, including retailers. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
