We understand that privacy is very important to every internet user these days. That is why we’d like to inform you on this matter. What data we collect; how we collect it; what we do with this information and how we treat it: you will read all about it on this page. WeBlog Media B.V., the company behind Tips-and-tricks.co, places a lot of value on the privacy of every visitor to our website. That’s why we make sure that the data you leave with us is kept completely confidential. WeBlog Media B.V. acts in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act and, since May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as far as this is applicable to us.
At the present time, our website does not offer the possibility to create user profiles, comment on articles, or buy products. We also don’t provide the option to register for a newsletter with your personal information. Only by filling in our contact form will we receive your personalized data, but this is limited to the information you fill in yourself. We do use (depersonalized) data to make sure our website runs properly/better. We collect this information through functional and analytical cookies. We also place marketing cookies, but only with your consent. You can read more about this in our Cookie Statement.
It is obligatory for all of WeBlog Media B.V.’s employees to respect the confidentiality of your data.
1. Who are we?
WeBlog Media B.V. is a private company, established and with an office in Groningen, the Netherlands, and registered with the Commercial Register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 66136636.
2. What type of personal data do we collect and process?
Our services using personal data
As stated before, Tips-and-tricks.co does not provide the possibility to create a user profile. It’s also impossible to comment on articles, buy products via our website, or register for a newsletter. This already precludes a very common reason for collecting your personal data from applying to us.
Collecting and processing contact information
We do offer the possibility to fill in a contact form in order to contact our editorial team with a question or remark. This contact form requires you to fill in your email address, so our team can process the question/remark and provide you with an answer. Without this information, we can’t approach you. Before you send your contact form, you are asked to give permission for us to save your filled-in information. This data is consequently saved to the secure servers of Dutch company Transip B.V..
Collecting and processing automatically generated statistical data
To make sure the website runs optimally and to keep improving, information about your use of our website is automatically processed. Optimizing our website mostly has to do with technical adjustments that, for example, make sure our pages are shown properly and that they are secure and protected. The information that is processed consists of:
- The type of device you use (desktop, mobile, tablet).
- Your IP address (your device’s internet address, often linked to your general location).
- Which browser you use.
- The operating system you use.
- The pages you visit on our website and where you came from before landing on our website.
This is depersonalized data and it’s impossible to trace it back to you. This information is gathered through analytical cookies. You can read more about this in our Cookie Statement.
Processing data for marketing purposes
To finance new content appearing on our website on a frequent basis, we earn revenue from advertisements. Our goal is to make the advertisements we show you as relevant as possible. To do this, we turn to third parties for help, but only with your explicit permission. These third parties collect data about:
- Websites you’ve visited previously.
- Products you’ve viewed.
- Your clicking behavior or online interests.
This data is processed, with your consent, by placing advertisements. You can read more about this in our Cookie Statement and, if you would like more information about this practice, click here.
WeBlog Media B.V. does not have access to this information and does not save it anywhere.
Processing data for social media purposes
Our website provides the option to share articles, videos, and images via social media. For this purpose, we’ve placed social media share buttons for Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. To ensure these buttons function properly, social media cookies are placed, after you’ve given your consent. When you click one of the share buttons, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest will know who you are. WeBlog Media B.V. does not save or have access to the data used by these parties. Read more in our Cookie Statement.
3. What do we use the collected data for and what legal bases do we rely on?
