Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how ConsumersMood ("we", "us", or "our"), operated by ConsumersMood, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit consumersmood.com (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to read our content. We collect information in two ways:
- Information you provide: if you contact us or subscribe to a newsletter, we receive the email address and any message you send.
- Information collected automatically: like most websites, our servers and analytics tools log technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring pages, and the pages you view. Cookies and similar technologies are also used as described below.
How We Use Information
We use this information to operate and secure the Site, understand which content readers find useful, respond to your messages, and display advertising that helps keep our content free.
Cookies and Advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies to run the Site and to serve advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to consumersmood.com and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com), and you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. For more on how Google uses data, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Third-Party Vendors and Partners
Our hosting, analytics, and advertising partners may process limited data on our behalf to keep the Site running and to measure performance. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information. Under the GDPR (European Economic Area and UK) you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, and you may object to certain processing. Under the CCPA (California) you may request access to or deletion of your personal information and opt out of its "sale" or "sharing"; we do not sell personal information. To exercise any right, contact us at hello@consumersmood.com.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version always appears on this page with its effective date.
