This privacy policy explains what information Marijuana Beginner (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit marijuanabeginner.com, how we use it and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Comments: if you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and website you enter, the comment itself, your IP address and your browser user agent. These help us detect spam. Your email address is never shown publicly.
• Messages: if you email us, we keep your message and email address so we can reply.
• Newsletter: if you subscribe, we keep your email address to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

Information collected automatically

• Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are popular and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information like your approximate location, device, browser and pages visited. It doesn’t give us your name or email address. Learn more in how Google uses data from sites that use its services.
• Security and performance: our hosting provider (Hostinger), its content delivery network and our security plugin (Wordfence) process IP addresses and request data to keep the site fast and protect it from attacks.
• Server logs: like most websites, our server records basic request information such as IP address, browser and time of visit.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use them for analytics, to remember comment details if you choose, and, if we show ads in the future, for advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work without them.

Affiliate links

Some links go to partner stores such as Amazon. If you click one, the store may set a cookie to credit us for your purchase. Those stores’ own privacy policies govern what they collect.

Advertising

We may work with third-party ad networks in the future. Those partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. When we do, we’ll list our partners here. You can opt out of personalized advertising at aboutads.info and networkadvertising.org, or through Google Ad Settings.

How we use information

• To run, secure and improve the website.
• To understand which content is useful.
• To reply to messages and moderate comments.
• To send newsletters you’ve signed up for.

We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it except with the service providers listed above or when required by law.

How long we keep data

Comments and their metadata are kept as long as the comment is published. Google Analytics data is kept for 14 months. Emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including California and other US states with privacy laws, or the EU and UK, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. To make a request, contact us. We’ll respond within the time the law requires.

Children

This site is for adults 21 and older. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 21. If you believe a minor has given us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.
