We collect only what we need to run Buzzcutting: the details you send us through the contact form or newsletter, and basic usage data about how the site is used. We do not sell your personal information. You can ask us to access, correct or delete your data at any time.
Who we are
This policy explains how Buzzcutting (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit buzzcutting.com. We are the controller of the personal information described here. You can reach us at raousama.6355@gmail.com.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Contact form: your name, email address, website, the service you are interested in and your message.
- Newsletter: your email address.
- Comments and account details: your name, email address and comment, if comments or accounts are enabled.
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page and the date and time of the visit.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device. See the cookies section below.
How we use your information
- To reply to your messages and provide the services you ask about.
- To send newsletters you have signed up for. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To understand how the site is used and improve our guides and pages.
- To keep the site secure and prevent spam and abuse.
- To meet legal obligations.
Legal bases for processing
Where data protection law such as the GDPR applies, we rely on these legal bases: your consent (newsletter and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (running and improving the site and keeping it secure), performance of a contract or steps you ask for before a contract (replying to enquiries), and legal obligation.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies help the site work and show us how it is used. We use these categories:
- Essential: needed for the site to work, such as security and form protection.
- Analytics: help us understand which pages are useful. These are used only where permitted and, where required, with your consent.
- Advertising and affiliate: if we display ads or affiliate links, partners may set cookies to measure clicks and sales.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies can affect how the site works.
Analytics and third-party services
We use trusted providers to run the site. They process data on our behalf or under their own policies:
- Hosting and security providers that serve the site and protect it from abuse.
- Analytics tools, such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console, to measure traffic and search performance.
- Email services that deliver our newsletter and replies to your messages.
- Fonts: this site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google servers and your IP address is shared with them.
- Embedded media such as videos or maps, which may set their own cookies when you play them.
Advertising and affiliate links
Some links on Buzzcutting may be affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not change our recommendations, and sponsored content is labelled.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site, when the law requires it, or to protect our rights and the safety of others. If the business is sold or merged, information may transfer to the new owner under the same protections.
How long we keep information
We keep contact messages for as long as needed to answer you and for a reasonable time afterwards. Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is kept for the period set in the analytics tool. We delete or anonymise information when it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is wrong or incomplete.
- Delete your information.
- Object to or restrict how we use it.
- Receive a copy of it in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier use.
Residents of California and some other regions have additional rights, including the right to know what is collected and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To use any right, email raousama.6355@gmail.com. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections and limited access. No online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
The site is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 where local law sets a higher age, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you think a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Our providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to protect your information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last changed. If we make a significant change we will say so on the site.
