This Privacy Policy explains what information Luxury Life Journal (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit luxurylifejournal.com, how we use it and the choices you have. By using this website you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you email us, use a contact or subscription form, leave a comment or pitch an article, we receive the details you choose to share, such as your name, email address and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and tools record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, pages visited and the time of your visit. Some of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
Comments. If you leave a comment, we store the comment, your name, email address, IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it.
How we use your information
- To run, maintain, secure and improve the website
- To reply to your messages, partnership enquiries and contributor pitches
- To send newsletters or updates, only if you have asked to receive them
- To understand how readers use the site so we can publish better content
- To display advertising and measure its performance
- To comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud or abuse
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to keep the site working, remember your preferences, measure traffic and, where applicable, show and measure advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work properly if you do.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We may display ads served by third parties, including Google. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. You can learn more about how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics
We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use our site. These services collect information such as pages viewed and time spent on the site, usually in aggregated form.
Affiliate and sponsored links
Some articles contain affiliate or sponsored links. If you click one, the retailer or partner may set its own cookies to record the referral. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies. See our Disclaimer and Affiliate Disclosure.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles may include embedded content such as videos, images, maps or social posts. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with that content.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting, email, analytics and advertising partners), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of our readers.
How long we keep data
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described here. Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so follow-up comments can be approved automatically. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and California, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export the personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. To make a request, email us at luxurylifejournal@gmail.com.
Children
This website is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable measures, including an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
