This Privacy Policy explains how Beauty On a Budget Lab (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit beautyonabudgetlab.com (the “Site”).
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you email us or leave a comment, we receive the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address and the content of your message or comment.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server and the services we use may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of your visit. This helps us keep the Site secure and understand how it’s used.
Comments
When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners may use cookies to:
- Remember your details if you choose to save them when leaving a comment.
- Understand how visitors use the Site (analytics).
- Track referrals from our affiliate links so that we can earn commissions.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work as intended if you do.
Affiliate links and Amazon
Beauty On a Budget Lab is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a link to Amazon, Amazon may place a cookie on your browser to track the referral. Amazon’s handling of your information is governed by Amazon’s Privacy Notice. See our affiliate disclosure for more.
Analytics
We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site. These services may use cookies and collect information such as pages visited and time spent on the Site. You can learn how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
We may display ads in the future through third-party ad networks. If we do, those networks may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and we will update this policy to name them.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this Site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website, and those sites may collect data about you.
How we use your information
- To operate, maintain and improve the Site.
- To reply to your messages and comments.
- To understand which content is useful to readers.
- To prevent spam, fraud and abuse.
We do not sell your personal information.
How long we keep your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. Emails are kept only as long as needed to respond and for our records.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, in the European Union, the United Kingdom or California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, email us at hello@beautyonabudgetlab.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Children’s privacy
This Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Security
We use reasonable measures, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date above will change.
