Who we are
Welcome to Biology & Chill. Our website address is https://biologyandchill.bio/. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.
Information collected
We collect personal data such as names and email addresses when you subscribe to our newsletter or leave a comment. We also collect non-personal information such as your IP address and browser type to improve our website. The information we collect helps us improve the content on our blog, respond to your inquiries, and send you relevant updates.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here.
If visitors leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies to personalize your experience on our site and to analyze our traffic. You can choose to disable cookies through the cookie banner or your browser settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Third-Party Services
We use Google Analytics to understand our website traffic. This service may collect information like your IP address and browsing habits. We also use third-party email marketing services to manage our newsletter subscriptions.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Data Sharing
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties, except when required by law or to protect our rights.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
User Rights
You have the right to access, update, restrict the processing of, or delete your personal information at any time. To exercise these rights, please contact us at biologyandchill@gmail.com. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Children’s Privacy
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children and ensuring that our blog is a safe space for all users. In line with our commitment, we do not knowingly collect, use, or share any personal information from children under the age of 16. By avoiding the collection of personal data from children under 16, we aim to fully comply with the CCPA and GDPR requirements regarding the privacy and protection of minors. We do not engage in any data processing activities involving children’s personal information.
Our blog is not intended for children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from users who fall under this age group. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 16, we will take immediate steps to delete this information from our records.
While our content is designed to be educational and informative, it is intended for a general audience and not specifically targeted toward children under 16. We strongly advise younger audiences to view our content under the guidance of a parent or guardian. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children’s online activities and to help enforce this policy by instructing their children not to provide any personal information on our site.
If you believe that we may have unintentionally collected information from a child under the age of 16, please contact us immediately at biologyandchill@gmail.com. We will promptly investigate and remove the data in question.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review it periodically.
