    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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

    Who we share your data with

    We do not share your information with third parties. Should this change, you will be notified and you will have the right not to let us do it by requiring to erase your data. The only exception is for any legal reasons when we will be required by court or law enforcement bodies to do so.

    This website uses third party service providers to help us with the some aspects. Consequently, they have their own privacy and cookie policies. These third party providers are:

    Google Analytics: this service provides information on pages visited, countries, IP addresses, etc. It does not give names or email addresses, or other personal information.

    MailChimp: we use this service to collect your subscription and send you newsletters. When you subscribe, your information is stored on MailChimp’s servers. In addition, we use them to create reports to assess the success of emails sent to you.

    Woocommerce: we use this service provider to organize the sale process. You may create an account when you buy anything, and you will have to provide name and email address (we may use them for accounting purposes, should the need arise). PS: We use PayPal only for payments, so we do not store your payment details.

    Ezoic and Google Adsense: these are our ad providers. Ads you see on our pages are selected based on their own algorithms. We do not receive any information from them about you.

    How long we retain your data

    If you 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.

    For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

    Any other information you provide will be stored for as long as we need it to fulfil our obligations towards you or our service providers.

    What rights you have over your data

    The new law on data protection, or GDPR, gives you rights in relation to the data you provide us with.

    You can always unsubscribe from the newsletters we send you. To do so you can either click the unsubscribe link in the email you receive from us, or write to us on irmanaanworld@gmail.com and ask to opt you out.
