This Privacy Policy describes how d2bspaces.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit or make use of our website https://d2bspaces.com (the "Site").

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://d2bspaces.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information about you in various ways when you use our Site.

Information You Provide to Us:

• Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
• Media: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
• Contact Forms (if applicable): If you contact us through a contact form, we will collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Information We Collect Automatically:

• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and hold certain information.
  • If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
• Log Data and Device Information: Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

3. Google Site Kit & Other Google Services

We use Google Site Kit to help us understand how our Site is being used and to improve user experience. Google Site Kit integrates several Google services, which may collect data as described below:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to track and report website traffic. Google Analytics collects data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and time spent on pages. This information helps us understand visitor behavior and improve our Site. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Search Console: This service helps us monitor our Site's performance in Google Search results. It provides us with information about search queries, crawl errors, and how Google sees our Site. Data collected is generally aggregated and helps us optimize our Site for search engines.
• Google AdSense (if activated via Site Kit): If we use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site, Google and third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings in their Google account.
• Google PageSpeed Insights: This tool analyzes the content of a web page, then generates suggestions to make that page faster. It collects technical data about our Site's performance but does not typically collect personal user data.
• Google Tag Manager: We may use Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy marketing tags (snippets of code or tracking pixels) on our website. This allows us to update these tags easily. Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data but facilitates the data collection by other tags.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, please see: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

4. Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram Ads)

We use Meta Platforms (including Facebook and Instagram) for advertising purposes. This may involve the use of the Meta Pixel and similar technologies.

• Meta Pixel: The Meta Pixel is a piece of code on our Site that allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising by understanding the actions people take on our website. We use this data to:
  • Ensure our ads are being shown to the right people.
  • Build advertising audiences.
  • Unlock additional Meta advertising tools.
  • Track conversions from Meta ads and retarget individuals who have previously interacted with our Site.

When you visit our Site and take actions, the Meta Pixel may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, items viewed or added to a cart, purchases made, and other interactions. This information may be linked to your Meta account if you are logged in.

For more information on Meta's data practices, please visit Meta's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

You can control how Meta uses your information for advertising through your Meta Ad Preferences: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/ad_settings

5. Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

6. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

• To provide, operate, and maintain our Site.
• To improve, personalize, and expand our Site.
• To understand and analyze how you use our Site.
• To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
• To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Site, and for marketing and promotional purposes (where permitted by law).
• To process your transactions (if any).
• To send you emails.
• To find and prevent fraud and spam.
• For compliance purposes, including enforcing our Terms of Service, or other legal rights, or as may be required by applicable laws and regulations or requested by any judicial process or governmental agency.

7. Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following situations:

• Service Providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to help us operate our Site, such as website hosting, data analysis, email delivery, customer service, and marketing efforts (e.g., Google and Meta as described above).

• Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred.

8. How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Other data, such as analytics data, is retained for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law.

9. What rights you have over your data

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include:

• If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
• You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
• The right to access, update or delete the information we have on you.
• The right of rectification.
• The right to object.
• The right of restriction.
• The right to data portability.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Furthermore, data collected by third-party services like Google and Meta may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. These services have their own privacy policies governing such transfers.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold as required by applicable law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under this age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
