Hey there, champions of the digital world! 🌟 We’re thrilled you’re here but also know that privacy is a big deal. So let’s get into the nitty-gritty, shall we?

Who We Are

Our little corner of the internet can be found at https://bessobarotimi.com.

What Information We Collect

When you drop a comment on our site, not only do we collect the data you put into the comments form, but also your IP address and browser user agent string to keep spam at bay.

If you’re into Gravatar, an anonymised string created from your email may be sent their way to see if you’re a user. Find out how Gravatar protects your sauce at Automattic’s Privacy Policy.

Media

If you’re sharing images on our site, give a thought to stripping any embedded location data. Others can snag this info, and we know you value your privacy.

Cookies

Fancy leaving another comment without typing out your details again? We get it. Opt in to save your name, email, and site in cookies, which last for a year.

Oh, and if you visit our login page, we send your browser a temporary cookie just to see if it accepts cookies. No personal data, and it vanishes when you close your browser.

Stay logged in, and your login cookies will stick around for two weeks. Log out, and they’re gone.

If you’re feeling like an author and edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will hang out in your browser for a day, holding the post ID of what you just worked on.

Embedded Content

You may find embedded goodies like videos, images, articles, etc., which behave just as if you were visiting the original website. These sites might grab some data, use cookies, or add third-party tracking.

How and Why We Use Your Information

  1. Content Customisation: Tailoring the experience to your fab self.
  2. Communication: Hitting you up with the freshest trends and tips.
  3. Promotions: Sharing special treats to boost your journey.

Online Purchases and Payments

What Information We Collect During Checkout

When you’re making a purchase, we’ll ask for all the must-haves: your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, and credit card/payment details. Don’t worry; we’re all about that secure connection.

How We Use Purchase Information

  1. Processing Orders: Your data helps us to complete your order, plain and simple.
  2. Customer Support: Need help with your order? Your info lets us assist you better.
  3. Record-keeping: For legal and accounting reasons, we keep a record of your purchases.

Payment Processors

We’ve partnered up with trusted third-party payment processors to handle transactions. They’ve got their own privacy policies, so make sure you’re cool with them too. We don’t store your payment information; they do, securely.

Data Security

We’re committed to keeping your data safe and sound. We use a range of security measures to protect against the unauthorized access and disclosure of your personal information.

Refunds and Returns

If you’re not feeling your purchase, we’ll need to use your information to process any refunds or returns.

Who We Share Your Data With

Forgot your password? We’ll include your IP address in the reset email, but that’s about it for sharing.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Leave a comment, and it stays. This helps us recognise and approve any follow-up comments swiftly instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If you’ve got a profile here, you can see, edit, or delete your information anytime—username aside. Us admins can also see and edit that info.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You’re in control. If you’ve got an account or have commented here, shoot us an email to get an exported file of your personal data or to erase it. But heads up, we may need to keep some for admin, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Goes

Look out for an automated spam detection service scanning your comments.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

Just a heads up, we might update this policy as our services evolve and grow. We’ll keep you in the loop about any changes.
