balumy.com/ (the "Site") is owned by Brittany Thomas ("we," "us," "our"), 2525 Hartsfield Rd #8, Tallahassee, FL 32303, United States. This page covers what data we collect, why, and what control you have over it. Using the Site means you're okay with the practices described here.
1. Data We Collect
Given by You
- Name and email, if you message us or subscribe to updates;
- Whatever you tell us in that message.
Collected Automatically
- IP address, browser/device info, operating system, referral source, pages viewed;
- Cookie data — full detail in our Cookie Policy;
- Aggregate traffic stats via analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
Passed Along by Partners
Affiliate and ad partners may share limited click/conversion data tied to your activity with links on the Site.
2. Why We Use It
To keep the Site running, answer messages, understand what content readers actually want, send newsletters to people who opted in, and catch technical or abuse issues.
3. Cookies
Used for functionality, analytics, and (via partners) conversion tracking. See the Cookie Policy for the full list and how to manage them.
4. Affiliate & Ad Data
We’re supported by affiliate partnerships. Clicking a partner link may let that partner log the click and any purchase to calculate our commission. This is standard for affiliate publishing; see the Affiliate Disclosure. We don’t control how those partners handle data on their own end.
5. Analytics
We use tools like Google Analytics to see overall traffic trends. Opt out via Google’s browser add-on — details at policies.google.com/privacy.
6. Sharing Data
No selling data for cash. We do share limited data with:
- Hosting/email/analytics vendors that keep the Site running;
- Affiliate and ad networks, usually aggregated;
- Authorities, when legally required;
- A buyer, if the Site is ever sold.
7. Retention
We keep data only as long as it serves the purposes above, unless the law says otherwise.
8. Your Rights
EEA / UK (GDPR)
Access, correction, deletion, portability, and objection rights apply. You can also complain to your local data authority.
California / Other U.S. States (CCPA/CPRA)
Know what’s collected, request deletion, correct errors, and opt out of “sale” or “sharing” tied to advertising — see our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
How to Ask
Email admin@balumy.com. We may verify your identity first.
9. Kids
Not directed at anyone under 16; we don’t knowingly collect data from that age group. Tell us if you think we have, and we’ll delete it.
10. Security
Reasonable safeguards are in place, but no system is bulletproof. See our Security & Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.
11. Where Data Lives
Data may be processed in the U.S. or elsewhere, under laws that may differ from your own jurisdiction’s.
12. Outbound Links
We link to affiliate and third-party sites we don’t control — check their own privacy policies separately.
13. Policy Changes
This page gets updated periodically. The date at the top always reflects the latest version.
