01 Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Savvy VibeZ (savvyvibez.com) collects, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. We keep things simple: you do not need an account to read the Site, we do not sell personal information, and we do not run advertising or analytics trackers on the Site at the time of writing.
The person responsible for your information is the Savvy VibeZ team, reachable at hello@savvyvibez.com.
02 Information we collect
Information you give us. When you use the contact form we collect your name, email address, the topic you choose and the message you write. If you email us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
Technical information. Like most websites, our servers record basic technical data when pages are requested, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages requested and the date and time. We use it to keep the Site secure and running reliably.
Staff accounts. Editors and administrators who sign in to manage the Site have an account with a name, email address and a securely hashed password. This does not apply to visitors.
03 How we use your information
- to read and reply to your messages, pitches and correction requests;
- to keep a record of our correspondence with you;
- to protect the Site against spam, abuse and security threats, and to diagnose technical problems;
- to meet our legal obligations and to establish or defend legal claims.
04 Our legal bases
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: your consent and our wish to respond to you, when you contact us; our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving a reliable website, when we process technical data; and compliance with legal obligations where they apply.
07 How long we keep information
We keep contact messages only for as long as we need them to respond to you and to keep a reasonable record of the conversation, and we delete them when you ask us to. We keep server logs for a limited period needed for security and troubleshooting.
We keep editor account details for as long as the person works with us.
08 Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- ask what personal information we hold about you and request a copy;
- ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete;
- ask us to delete your information, or to restrict or stop using it;
- object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and withdraw consent at any time;
- complain to your local data-protection authority.
To use any of these rights, email hello@savvyvibez.com. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we will respond within a reasonable time.
09 Security
We protect information with measures that include encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, access limited to people who need it, and regular maintenance. No online service can be completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive personal information through the contact form.
10 Children
The Site is a general-audience magazine and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, please email us and we will delete it.
11 Links to other sites
Our content may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their policies before sharing information with them.
12 Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and the “last updated” date at the top. If a change is significant, we will make it clear on the Site.
