Who we are
Our website address is: https://sogood.blog
The following is a collection of resources regarding your use of our sites and services as well as information about how we may use data along with our partners.
​
GDPR COMPLIANCE
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) go into effect May 25, 2018 and we support these regulations for a safe and secure browsing experience across the Internet. The details below outline what we are doing to comply with the new regulations.
​
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Our Website typically collects two kinds of information about you: (i) information that you provide that personally identifies you; and (ii) information that does not personally identify you that we automatically collect when you visit our Website or that you provide to us.
In a few instances, we may require personally-identifiable information in order to use certain features of our services. For example, we may ask for an email address to subscribe to one of our newsletter or to create an account that will allow you to comment on one of our sites.
We do not share or sell any of your personally identifiable information with any sponsors or advertisers.
​
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
​
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
​
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
We may also allow our business partners to place cookies on your device. For example, we use Google Analytics and Parse.ly for web analytics. Either of these services may also set cookies on your device.
We use cookies for a variety of reasons:
-
to enable, facilitate and streamline the functioning of our sites across different webpages and browser sessions;
-
to simplify your access to and use of our sites and make it more seamless;
-
to monitor and analyze the performance, operation and effectiveness of our sites, so that we can improve and optimize it; and
-
to show you content that is more relevant to you
​
Other Technologies
Our sites may also use other technologies with similar functionality to cookies, such as web beacons and tracking URLs to obtain anonymous data about users. We may also use web beacons and tracking URLs in our messages to you to determine whether you have opened a certain message or accessed a certain link.
​
Disabling Cookies
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to turn off cookies. If you choose to decline turn off, please note that some interactive features of our sites may not function properly.
​
AD NETWORKS
Our Website may use third parties such as network advertisers to serve advertisements on our Website and may use traffic measurement services to analyze traffic on our Websites. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to our Website and other websites you have visited. Third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products and services in which you might be interested. Our Website’s third-party ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors and/or traffic measurement services may themselves set and access their own cookies and other technologies on your computer and track certain behavioral information regarding users of your computer via an IP address or other device identifier. These third-party cookies and other technologies are set to, among other things: (i) help deliver advertisements to you that you might be interested in; (ii) prevent you from seeing the same advertisements too many times; and (iii) understand the usefulness to you of the advertisements that have been delivered to you. Note that any images (or any other parts of a web page) served by third parties in association with third-party cookies may serve as web beacons, which enable third parties to carry out the previously described activities. Third-party cookies, web beacons and other third-party technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one.
​
To opt out of third-party tracking on our Website, use the following tools:
You may opt out of the Google Ad Network (Double Click) by clicking here and opt out of Google Analytics by clicking here.
​
If you would like to opt-out of having interest-based information collected during your visits to this or other websites, both the National Advertising Initiative (the “NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (the “DAA”) offer opt-out tools to assist you in managing your choices.
You may wish to visit NAI’s Learn More Page to learn more about interest-based advertising and your choices regarding having this information used by third parties and your “opt-out” choices. Opting out through the DAA or NAI only means that those DAA or NAI members will no longer be able to deliver targeted content and/or advertisements to you, which will affect our Website as well as other unaffiliated websites, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or advertisements. Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out pages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your opt-out choices may not, or may no longer, be effective.
​
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
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 (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
​
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, 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.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
​
KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
We have implemented security measures we consider reasonable and appropriate to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Please be advised, however, that while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and are not responsible for the theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of your personally identifiable information. In the event that your “personally identifiable information” (as the term or similar terms are defined by any applicable law requiring notice upon a security breach) is compromised, we may notify you by email (in our sole and absolute discretion) to the last email address you have provided to us in the most expedient time reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, delays in notification may occur while we take necessary measures to determine the scope of the breach and restore reasonable integrity to the system, as well as for the legitimate needs of law enforcement if notification would impede a criminal investigation.
​
CONTACT AND OPT-OUT INFORMATION
You may contact us as at contentteam.sydsogood@gmail.com if: (i) you have questions or comments about this Privacy Policy; (ii) you wish to make corrections to any personally identifiable information you have provided; (iii) you want to opt-out from receiving future commercial correspondence, including emails from us. We will respond to your request and, if applicable and appropriate, make the requested change in our active databases as soon as reasonably practicable.
