Information we collect

Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, email us, or leave a comment, we receive the information you provide, such as your name, email address and the content of your message or comment.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site and the services we use automatically collect some technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages you view, how long you stay, and the website that referred you. Much of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies, described below.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies to make the site work, remember preferences, measure traffic and show ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are popular and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information like your device, browser and approximate location. You can install Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on if you prefer not to be measured.

Affiliate links (Amazon Associates)

Some links on this site are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. When you click an affiliate link, Amazon may set cookies to track the referral. We only recommend products we use or genuinely believe are helpful for budgies.

If you sign up for our newsletter, we use your email address only to send you budgie tips, new guides and site updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you at any time by emailing info@allaboutbudgies.com.

Comments

If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and comment you enter, along with your IP address and browser information to help detect spam. Your email address is never shown publicly.

Embedded content and social media

Articles may include embedded content such as YouTube videos or Instagram posts. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, and those sites may collect data about you and use cookies. Our share buttons are simple links: nothing is sent to a social network unless you click one.

Purchases

If we open an online shop in the future, we will collect the information needed to process and deliver your order, such as your name, shipping address and email. Payments will be handled by secure third-party payment providers, and we will never see or store your full card number.

How long we keep information

We keep newsletter and contact information until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Comments are kept until they are removed. Analytics and advertising data are kept according to Google’s own retention settings.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain uses of it, including targeted advertising.

California residents: under California law, you may request to know what personal information we collect, ask us to delete it, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. We will not discriminate against you for using these rights.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland: you may access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data and withdraw consent at any time. Where required, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown.

To make any request, email info@allaboutbudgies.com. We will respond within the time required by law.

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
