Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Maison Bloom ("we", "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly (for example, when you use our contact form) and information automatically gathered when you use the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content.
• To respond to your questions, comments, or requests.
• To measure and analyse how our content is used.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent misuse.

Advertising and third-party advertising partners

Maison Bloom is a free publication funded by display advertising. We work with third-party advertising partners and ad management platforms — including Journey by Mediavine and Google — who may place and read cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies on your device, and may collect or receive information such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser type, approximate location, and pages viewed in order to select, deliver, measure, and report on the ads you see.

Our advertising partners and their vendors may use this information to build a limited interest profile so that advertising is more relevant to you, to cap how often you see the same ad, and to detect fraud and invalid traffic. We do not sell your name, email address, or contact-form messages to advertisers.

Vendor and partner lists, plus the specific purposes each vendor relies on, are available through the consent notice on this site (where applicable) and from our advertising partners directly. For information on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. To opt out of personalised advertising from participating vendors, visit optout.aboutads.info, youradchoices.ca, youronlinechoices.eu, or your device's advertising settings.

Consent management (GDPR, ePrivacy and global privacy laws)

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our advertising partner presents a consent notice built on the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework before non-essential cookies are set. You may accept, reject, or customise your choices, and you can reopen the notice at any time from the privacy link in the site footer or by clearing this site's cookies. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time; where we rely on legitimate interests for analytics and fraud prevention, you may object.

US state privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA and similar laws)

If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or another US state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold, and you may opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. Interest-based advertising on this site may qualify as "sharing" under those laws. To opt out, use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" control presented by our advertising partner where required, enable a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, or email editorial@maisonbloom.example with the subject "Privacy Request". We do not discriminate against readers who exercise these rights.

International data transfers

Our hosting, analytics, and advertising partners may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and analyse site usage. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Data retention

We retain contact-form submissions and analytics data only as long as needed to serve the purposes described above, then delete or anonymise them.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Contact us at editorial@maisonbloom.example to exercise these rights.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated date at the top of this page.
