Cookies
If you have an account and you log into our website, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on our website may include embedded 3rd party content (e.g. videos, images, articles, products, etc.) Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited those websites.
As we are not in control of these 3rd party websites or their policies, we recommend that you read their Privacy Policies before using our website
Analytics
When you use our website, our tracking service providers such as Google Analytics collect information using various technologies, including cookies and pixel tags (which are also called clear GIFs, web beacons, or pixels).
Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our website and your experience, and track usage of our resources. These service providers may use cookies to collect and store information about your device, such as time of visit, pages visited, time spent on each page of our website, links clicked and conversion information, browser, mobile network information, and type of operating system used.
Billing / Shipping Information
If you purchase products or services on our website, we need to collect your billing/shipping information in order to generate an invoice.
Data sharing
We do not sell our users’ private personal information. And we don’t give it away, either.
We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:
Third Party Vendors:
We may share information about you with our 3rd party service providers in order for them to provide their services to you via our website.
We use the 3rd party payment services of Payfast or PayPal to process your online payments, fraud prevention services to analyse payment transactions, postal, chat and email services to help us communicate with you.
Legal Requests:
We may disclose information about you in response to a court order, or other governmental request.
Business Transfers:
In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that Beachblanc goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a 3rd party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
With Your Consent:
We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction.
Aggregated or De-Identified Information:
We may share information that has been aggregated or reasonably de-identified, so that the information could not reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our website.
We don’t give your personal data to anyone, unless required by law or to allow for the processing of your online payments.
Data Retention
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, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you make a purchase, we retain your billing information and order details for at least 7 years for accounting purposes only.
Finally, we keep Google Analytics and other tracking data indefinitely, to allow for a smooth running of our business and compare analytics trends over the years.
Data Rights
If you have an account on our website, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
You have full control over your personal data you share on our website. We’re only an email away and you can even log in and delete your account. We hope not, but that’s your right and we respect it either way.
Updates
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time without notice to you, so we recommend that you check this Privacy Policy page on a regular basis for changes before using our website.
By continuing to use our website after any changes come into effect, you agree to the revised Privacy Policy.
