This Privacy Policy explains what information Woke Broke List (“we,” “us”) collects when you visit wokebrokelist.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us
- If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address and your message, plus any links you include in your message. The form stores what you submit on this site; it does not send you an automatic reply.
- If you leave a comment, we collect the comment, the name, email address and website you enter, and your IP address and browser details to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture there.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, our servers and the third-party services described below may automatically collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. Some of this is collected with cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We and our partners use cookies, web beacons (pixels), local storage and similar identifiers to keep the site working, keep it secure, measure traffic and serve ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some parts of the site may not work as intended.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We show ads through Google AdSense.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
Other third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site through Google, and they may use their own cookies. These vendors are listed in Google’s list of ad technology providers. You can visit those vendors’ websites, aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page to opt out of their use of cookies for personalized advertising where they offer it. Visitors in Europe can also use Your Online Choices.
If you opt out of personalized ads, you may still see ads. They may be based on general factors such as the page you are reading or your general location. To learn more, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and how Google uses advertising cookies.
Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are read and how visitors arrive. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser details. Google handles this information under the Google Privacy Policy. You can stop Google Analytics from collecting your visits by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Your consent and privacy choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ads Settings and stop Google Analytics from collecting your visits with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, both described above.
How we use information
- To run, maintain and secure the site and prevent spam and abuse.
- To understand how the site is used and improve it.
- To show ads, and to measure and limit how often ads are shown.
- To read and respond to messages you send us.
- To review reports of errors and documents about companies we grade.
- To comply with the law and protect our rights and the rights of others.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only:
- With service providers that help us run the site, such as hosting, security, spam filtering, analytics and advertising providers, as described in this policy.
- With Google and its advertising partners through cookies and similar technologies, as described above. Under some U.S. state laws, this may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. You can opt out as described below.
- When required by law, or to protect the safety, rights or property of our visitors, the public or us.
- As part of a merger, sale or transfer of the site, in which case this policy will continue to apply to the information transferred.
Your rights in certain U.S. states
Depending on where you live, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia or another state with a consumer privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal information we have about you, to get a copy of it, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing for targeted advertising. To opt out of personalized Google ads, use Google Ads Settings. To make any other request, contact us through our Contact page. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request. Where the law allows, an authorized agent may make a request for you. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland
If these laws apply to you, you have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to how we use it, to receive a copy of it, and to withdraw consent at any time. We rely on our legitimate interest in running, securing and funding the site, and on your consent where the law requires it. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
How long we keep information
We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy, or as the law requires. Information collected by Google and our other service providers is kept under their own retention settings and policies.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed to 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, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The site uses HTTPS encryption, and we take reasonable steps to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Links to other websites
Our pages link to other websites, including sources we cite. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the “Last updated” date above.
