Welcome to EniMakia. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy tells you how we look after your personal data when you visit our blog (no matter where you're visiting from), your privacy rights, and how the law protects you.

This policy follows the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our readers in the European Economic Area (EEA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents, and aligns with applicable data protection laws in the regions where we operate and serve users. It also meets the privacy policy requirements for advertising platforms and networks.

    • Contact Data from publicly available sources if applicable (e.g., social media profiles you link to your comments).

How We Use Your Personal Data

We only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use your personal data in these situations and for these purposes:

  • To manage our relationship with you: This includes telling you about changes to our terms or privacy policy, and providing customer support. Our legal basis for this is the performance of a contract with you (like providing newsletter services) or our legitimate interests (to keep our records updated and understand how readers use our blog).
  • To administer and protect our blog: This involves troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting, and data hosting. Our legal basis for this is our legitimate interests (for running our blog, providing IT services, ensuring network security, preventing fraud) and/or compliance with a legal obligation.
  • To deliver relevant blog content and advertisements to you and measure their effectiveness: Our legal basis for this is our legitimate interests (to understand how readers use our content, to grow our audience, and to inform our marketing strategy). This includes tailoring content and ads related to finance and health topics that may be of interest to you. When legally required, we'll get your consent for this.
  • To use data analytics to improve our blog, content, marketing, and reader experiences: Our legal basis for this is our legitimate interests (to understand our audience, keep our blog relevant, grow our business, and inform our marketing strategy). This includes analyzing reader engagement with our finance and health articles.
  • To suggest content or services that might interest you: Our legal basis for this is our legitimate interests (to develop our blog and grow our audience). This could include recommending additional finance tips or health insights based on your reading patterns. When legally required, we'll get your consent for this.
Purposes for Which We May Sell or Share Personal Information (CCPA Specific)

In the preceding 12 months, we have not sold or shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If this changes, we will update this policy to reflect the categories of personal information sold or shared, the categories of third parties involved, and the specific purposes.

Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We may share your personal data with the parties listed below for the purposes described in section 4.

  • Internal Third Parties: Other companies within our group (if applicable) that provide IT and system administration services.
  • External Third Parties:
    • Service providers (acting as processors) who help us with IT and system administration services.
    • Professional advisors like lawyers and accountants.
    • Regulatory bodies and authorities who require reporting of processing activities in any jurisdiction where we operate or are legally obliged.
    • Third-party advertising networks: These parties may collect data about your interactions with our blog and ads to provide targeted advertising.
    • Analytics providers: These parties help us understand blog usage and performance.
    • Third parties to whom we might choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or assets. If a change happens to our business, the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as described here.

We require all third parties to respect your personal data's security and to treat it according to the law. We don't allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. They can only process your personal data for specified purposes and based on our instructions.

International Transfers

Your data may be transferred to, and stored in, a location outside of your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or California. It might also be processed by staff operating outside these regions who work for us or our suppliers.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of your country of residence (e.g., EEA, California), we ensure it gets a similar level of protection by implementing at least one of these safeguards:

  • We'll only transfer your personal data to countries deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of data protection.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission that give personal data the same protection it has in Europe (known as Standard Contractual Clauses).
  • For transfers to the United States, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms that provide appropriate safeguards.
  • We ensure transfers comply with applicable local data protection laws in the relevant jurisdictions.

Contact us if you want more information on the specific mechanism we use for transferring your personal data out of your region.

Data Security

We've put appropriate technical and organizational security measures in place to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. These measures include:

  • Encryption: Data is encrypted both when it's being sent and when it's stored, where appropriate.
  • Access Controls: We limit access to your personal data to only those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They only process your personal data on our instructions and are bound by a duty of confidentiality.
  • Firewalls and Network Security: We use strong network security to protect our systems from unauthorized access.
  • Regular Security Audits: We regularly check our security to find and fix any weak spots.
  • Staff Training: We ensure our staff are trained on data protection best practices and security awareness.

We have procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we're legally required to do so in the relevant jurisdictions.

Data Retention

We'll only keep your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including meeting any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We might keep your personal data longer if there's a complaint or if we reasonably believe there could be litigation related to our relationship with you.

To decide how long to keep personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it (and if we can achieve those purposes another way), and applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
