Introduction
B.G.R. Enterprises, Inc. (“BLACK GIRLS BOND”) takes the private nature of your personal information very seriously.
Please read this notice very carefully.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, BLACK GIRLS BOND collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. BLACK GIRLS BOND’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how BLACK GIRLS BOND’s visitors use its website.
From time to time, BLACK GIRLS BOND may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
BLACK GIRLS BOND also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. BLACK GIRLS BOND does not use such information to identify its visitors, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to BLACK GIRLS BOND’s websites choose to interact with BLACK GIRLS BOND in ways that require BLACK GIRLS BOND to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that BLACK GIRLS BOND gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for blackgirlsbond.com to provide a username and email address.
In each case, BLACK GIRLS BOND collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with BLACK GIRLS BOND. BLACK GIRLS BOND does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
BLACK GIRLS BOND may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, BLACK GIRLS BOND may monitor the most popular articles onblackgirlsbond.com. BLACK GIRLS BOND may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, BLACK GIRLS BOND does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
BLACK GIRLS BOND discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on BLACK GIRLS BOND’s behalf or to provide services available at BLACK GIRLS BOND’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using BLACK GIRLS BOND’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. In addition, in some cases we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if BLACK GIRLS BOND or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that BLACK GIRLS BOND goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of BLACK GIRLS BOND may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy. Otherwise, BLACK GIRLS BOND will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, BLACK GIRLS BOND discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when BLACK GIRLS BOND believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of BLACK GIRLS BOND, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a BLACK GIRLS BOND website and have supplied your email address, BLACK GIRLS BOND may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with BLACK GIRLS BOND and its products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. BLACK GIRLS BOND takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
You should also be aware that if you submit information to “chat rooms,” “forums” or “message boards” such information becomes public information, meaning that you lose any privacy rights you might have with regards to that information. Such disclosures may also increase your chances of receiving unwanted communications.
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.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
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.
