Affiliate Links
Blogbias participates in several affiliate programs Semrush, Bluehost and many more.
This gives readers access to different products and services through affiliate links. So, whenever you buy a product using affiliate links from this website, I may earn a commission.
However, all Blogbias recommendations adhere to our strict Editorial Policy. In addition, these products or services websites might drop cookies to collect your information.
External Links
As per Editorial Policy, I sometimes put links to other blogs/websites (for reference). However, I only link to trusted sources (Usually, it’s highly experienced people). When you click these links, other websites might gather information about you.
I can’t control these sites, so it’s a good idea to read their Privacy Policies when you visit them.
Data Protection and Security
The owner takes your data security seriously. Blogbias uses standard methods such as HTTPS, secure servers and monitors for any kind of vulnerabilities/attacks. In addition, the owner makes sure that security is up-to-date.
While both the owner and server provider (Bluehost) do their best to protect your data, remember that no place on the internet is completely safe.
Retention of Data
The owner retains your data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in our Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Your data’s retention duration is determined by the specific purposes for which it was collected, the nature of the data, and the legal requirements applicable to our operations.
The owner regularly assesses the need for retaining your data and takes steps to ensure that it is not kept for longer than necessary. Once your data is no longer required for the stated purposes, Blogbias will securely delete or anonymize it.
Please note that even when your data is deleted, it may still exist in archived or backup copies for legal, regulatory, or operational purposes. The owner will ensure that any retained data continues to be protected following our Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the retention of your data, please contact the owner at [email protected].
The owner is committed to ensuring that your data is handled in a manner consistent with applicable data protection laws and compliance with your rights and interests.
