General

Seasonsincolour ('the Site') is a personal blog. By using this site, you are indicating your agreement to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any of the terms below, please do not use this site.

 

The Site reserves the right to alter the terms of this policy at any time. Changes will be notified to you using the e-mail address you provide to me (if you subscribed for Site updates) or by an announcement on this site. Your continued use of this site will indicate your agreement to such changes. 

 

This privacy notice aims to give you information on how we collect and process your personal data.

My commitment to your Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will ensure that the information we obtain from you and use will always be processed and transferred in compliance with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). A copy of this policy is provided by link in the welcome email received by all subscribers to Seasons in Colour and on the subscription pop-up. 

The information I collect

The Site is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. 

This Policy applies to all information collected or submitted on the Site. The types of personal information collected are:

​1. Email Address

 

This is the email that you provide if you wish to receive our newsletter.

 

This information is maintained by Wix in a contacts list within their server - we access this list through the web-based Wix dashboard only. We do not process your email further, do not download it and do not share it with any third party (e.g. with brands). 

We will use your email address to email you the Seasons in Colour newsletter which may contain direct or indirect marketing material (for example, sponsored posts about interiors products and brands and brand advertisements) and/or advertisement of services that Seasons in Colour may offer from time to time.

 

When you subscribe to receive our newsletter, you consent to receiving this marketing information which forms part of this blog. If you do not wish to receive such marketing information, you should not subscribe to the newsletter. You can continue to use the website freely, without subscribing to the newsletter.

 

If you subscribed to our newsletter prior to the 25th May 2018, you will continue to receive it but we provide an opportunity for you to unsubscribe - an 'unsubscribe' button is available at the bottom of all newsletters sent by Seasons in Colour.

 

2. Your first name

 

This is only in relation to comments on posts, where comments are activated; this could be just a first name only (not identifiable data), alias (not identifiable data), and/or your email address. We do not process this data further and do not store it on a computer. This data is stored within the comments app which is supplied by a third party through Wix (http://www.commentsplugin.com/). Any queries you have in relation to personal data captured on Comments Plugin, should be addressed to support@commentsplugin.com . Seasons in Colour cannot retrieve individual comments left through this plugin. 

 

3. Technical Data 

t

The Site website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, small text files placed on your computer, to collect standard internet log and visitor behaviour information in an anonymous form. Google Analytics does not identify personal information or individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

 

We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. Seasons in Colour does not hold or process this data - enquiries about processing of technical data should be addressed to Google. 

 

Some of our advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons on our site. Our advertising partners include Amazon, Linkshare and Affiliate Window but this is subject to change at any time. Each of these advertising partners has their own Privacy Policy for their site. 

 

These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in their respective advertisements and links that appear on www.seasonsincolour.com and which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used by our site's third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on the site.

 

The Site has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information on their practices as well as for instructions about how to opt-out of certain practices. Seasons in Colour's privacy policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or web sites. 

 

If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites. The web site www.allaboutcookies.org (run by the Interactive Marketing Bureau) contains step-by-step guidance on how cookies can be switched off by users.

4. Full name and postal address 

This is in relation to competition winners. This data is submitted by email by winners and will be deleted within 10 days of receiving confirmation of receipt of the prize. Once deleted it cannot be retrieved.

Legal Basis for processing your information

Seasons in Colour is a personal blog on interior design. You do not have to subscribe to the Site's newsletter in order to access the Site but have indicated (where you have subscribed) that you are interested in receiving regular updates from me. We therefore have your consent in supplying you these regular communications. You can unsubscribe at any time.
