This Privacy Policy explains how PinMyIdea (“pinmyidea.com”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit this website. We keep data collection to a minimum and never sell your personal information for money.
Who we are
This website is operated by Sanaullah Arshad. For any privacy question or request, contact us at pinmyidea.com@gmail.com.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Emails you send us: your email address and anything you include in the message.
- Newsletter (if you subscribe): your email address, handled by our email provider and used only to send the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Information collected automatically
- Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider records technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and the time of the request, for security and to keep the site running.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device. See the sections on advertising and analytics below.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may display ads through Google AdSense to support the site. In that case:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior 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 visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).
- To learn more, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads or non-essential cookies are used, through a consent banner. You can change your choice at any time from that banner.
Analytics
If we use an analytics service (such as Google Analytics) to understand which pages are popular, it collects usage information like pages viewed, approximate location, device type and how you arrived at the site. This information is aggregated and used only to improve the content. Where required, analytics run only after you give consent.
Fonts, Pinterest and other third parties
- Google Fonts: our typefaces are loaded from Google’s servers, which means your IP address is shared with Google when a page loads, as described in Google’s privacy policy.
- Pinterest “Save” buttons are simple links. Nothing is sent to Pinterest until you click one; after that, Pinterest’s own privacy policy applies.
- Links to other websites: we are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to.
Our interactive tools
The calculators on this site (such as the Christmas tree, outfit, gallery wall and iced coffee tools) run entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter are not sent to us or stored.
How we use information
- To run, secure and improve the website.
- To reply to your messages.
- To send the newsletter if you subscribed.
- To show ads that keep the site free, as described above.
Legal bases (EU and UK visitors)
Under the GDPR and UK GDPR we process personal data on the basis of your consent (for example, advertising and analytics cookies and the newsletter), our legitimate interests (for example, security and server logs), and to respond to your requests.
Your privacy rights
EU, UK and Switzerland
You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
United States (including California)
Depending on your state, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to access and delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of personalized ads, use the links in the advertising section above or contact us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
To make any request, email pinmyidea.com@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy request”. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
How long we keep data
Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your message. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting provider for security.
Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU and UK), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has shared personal data with us, please contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Some service providers, such as Google, may process data outside your country. Where required, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
