CliquePress is published by Clique Digital Media and Marketing, LLC (“CliquePress,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit cliquepress.com, post a comment, contact us, or subscribe to our newsletter.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
- Information you provide: your email address and any message or other information you choose to send through our contact or newsletter forms, or submit in a comment.
- Technical and usage information: information such as your IP address, browser and device details, pages visited, referring page, and the date and time of a visit. Our hosting, security, and site tools may process this information to operate, protect, and maintain the site.
- Cookie and similar technology information: information stored or read by cookies or similar technologies, as described below.
Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary forms, comments, or email.
How we use information
We may use information to operate and maintain CliquePress; display, moderate, and protect comments; respond to questions, news tips, and correction requests; send the newsletter when you subscribe; protect the site and investigate misuse; understand site performance where analytics tools are enabled; comply with legal obligations; and provide advertising where advertising services are enabled.
Comments
If you submit a comment, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user-agent information to help moderate comments and prevent spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy explains its practices. After a comment is approved, the comment and any profile image associated with it may be visible to the public.
If the comment form offers the option and you choose to save your name, email address, or website in cookies, those details may be stored in your browser for your convenience. Comment cookies may remain for up to one year. We generally retain approved comments and related metadata while they remain published, unless we remove them or need to retain information for moderation, security, or legal reasons. Comment submissions may be checked by automated spam-detection services.
Newsletter and contact messages
If you subscribe to the newsletter, we use your email address to send the requested updates. You can unsubscribe using the link included in a newsletter email or contact us at info@cliquepress.com. If a third-party email delivery provider processes subscriptions, that provider may process subscriber information to deliver and administer the newsletter on our behalf under its own privacy terms.
If you contact us, we use the information in your message to respond and handle the matter you raised. We may retain the correspondence for follow-up, recordkeeping, or legal purposes.
Cookies, advertising, and similar technologies
CliquePress and the service providers that help operate it may use cookies or similar technologies for site functionality, security, preferences, measurement, and—if enabled—advertising. WordPress may set cookies when a visitor logs in, edits content, or uses comment-form features. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features.
If we display ads through Google AdSense or other advertising partners, those partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar identifiers to serve, measure, and personalize ads. Google and its partners may use information from a visitor’s prior visits to this site or other sites to provide ads. You can learn how Google uses data on partner sites at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use Google services and manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also visit YourAdChoices for information about opting out of certain participating companies’ interest-based advertising.
Where required, we will use a consent message or other mechanism to provide information and obtain choices about cookies, local storage, and advertising-related data use. You can change your browser’s cookie settings at any time; where a consent message is provided, you can also use it to review or change your choices.
Embedded content and third-party services
Articles may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles hosted by other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly. Those sites may collect information, use cookies, or track your interaction under their own privacy policies.
We may disclose information to service providers that help us host, secure, maintain, analyze, communicate through, or monetize the site, but only as needed for their services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate suspected abuse, or in connection with a business reorganization or transfer. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services; their own policies apply.
Retention and security
We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to you, maintain business records, protect the site, and meet legal obligations. Retention periods depend on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information. No website, email transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
International visitors
CliquePress is operated by a U.S.-registered company and is available to readers internationally. Information may be processed in the countries where we or our service providers operate, which may have privacy rules different from those in your location.
Your choices and privacy rights
You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may also have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, or to object to or limit certain processing. To make a privacy request, contact us at info@cliquepress.com. We may need to verify your request before responding.
Children’s privacy
CliquePress is a general-interest publication and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so we can review and address the request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the “Last updated” date. Changes take effect when posted.
