At Zippy Loom, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how our wellness blog collects, uses, and safeguards data when you visit www.zippyloom.com or interact with our content. We keep things straightforward since we’re a small blog focused on practical daily habits for better sleep, movement, and stress relief. In simple terms: we collect only what’s needed to run the site and respond to you, never sell your data, and give you clear ways to control it. Read on for the details.
Information We Collect
We distinguish between Personal Information, which identifies you as an individual, and other data that does not. Personal Information includes details like your name or email address if you submit a comment, contact form, or newsletter signup. We only collect this when you choose to provide it directly.
Other information includes online identifiers such as IP addresses, cookie IDs, or device identifiers, which may be considered personal data under laws like GDPR. We also gather Non-Personal Information like browser type, pages visited, and approximate location from IP. In simple terms: Personal data comes from your inputs; other data helps us understand site usage without naming you.
- Name and email from contact forms or comments.
- Online identifiers like IP addresses or cookie IDs.
- Browser details and referral sources.
- Time stamps of your visits.
How We Collect and Use Information
We collect data through web forms when you comment or email us, automatically via server logs and cookies during visits, and from newsletter signups. This helps us respond to your questions about wellness routines or deliver tailored content suggestions. We use it to improve site performance, analyze popular topics like gentle movement tips, and prevent spam.
For example, if you ask about sleep habits, we store your email briefly to reply. Aggregated Non-Personal Information shows trends, like which nutrition posts get reads, guiding new content. We never share identifiable details without your request. In simple terms: Collection supports your experience; use keeps the blog helpful and running smoothly.
- Forms for comments and inquiries.
- Logs for technical troubleshooting.
- Analytics to refine content topics.
- Newsletter tools for delivery.
Legal Basis and Your Rights
Our legal bases include legitimate interests for site analytics and security, consent for non-essential cookies, and providing requested services like email replies. Under GDPR, this covers EU/UK users; for CCPA, California residents have rights too. We do not sell personal information.
You can access, correct, or delete your Personal Information by emailing us. California residents may also request details on disclosures and opt out of any sale or sharing where applicable—though we don’t sell or share for monetary gain. Opt-outs are honored promptly. In simple terms: Your rights are straightforward; just reach out to exercise them.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device to remember preferences or track usage. Our site uses essential cookies for basic functions like navigation and analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, to measure visitor trends without identifying individuals. Cookies typically do not include details like your name or email but may hold online identifiers for preferences or analytics.
You manage cookies via your browser settings—most block or clear them easily. For Google Analytics, use their opt-out tool. We do not run cross-site tracking ourselves. In simple terms: Cookies help the site work better; control them anytime in your settings.
- Essential: Site functionality.
- Analytics: Traffic patterns.
- Preferences: Language choices.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display relevant ads supporting our free wellness tips. Third-party vendors, including Google, set cookies like DoubleClick for ad personalization based on your visits. These may enable cross-site ad tracking by partners to show tailored content elsewhere.
Ads match interests, like stress management tools, but you control them via Google Ads Settings or browser options. You can unsubscribe from personalized ads anytime. We earn from clicks but do not access your ad data directly. In simple terms: Ads fund the blog; opt out if you prefer generic ones.
Data Retention and Security Measures
We retain Personal Information only as long as necessary for the purpose collected, such as a few months for comment replies or until you unsubscribe from newsletters. Non-Personal data like logs is kept for a limited period to aid troubleshooting, then deleted or anonymized. No fixed timelines apply universally.
Security involves reasonable safeguards like HTTPS encryption for data in transit, access controls on our servers, and regular software updates. We limit staff access to need-to-know info and monitor for unusual activity. While no system is breach-proof, we act responsibly on issues.
Children’s Privacy
Our blog is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from kids in this group. If we learn of such data, we delete it promptly. Parents can contact us about concerns.
Third-Party Links Disclaimer
Zippy Loom links to external sites for deeper wellness resources, like movement videos. We do not control or endorse their privacy practices. Review their policies before sharing data there.
