Privacy policy
This policy describes what data Wash & Bloom collects, why, and what you can do about it. It covers the reading pages and the editorial administration area of colorway.top.
What we collect directly
The reading site does not ask you to register, log in, leave a comment or submit a form. There is no newsletter and no reader account. Because of that, we hold no name, no postal address and no reader profile for anyone who simply reads these pages.
If you write to us by email, we hold that message and your address for as long as it takes to answer you, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you write again.
Server logs
Our web server records standard request information: the page requested, the time, the referring page, the browser and operating system string, and the requesting IP address. These logs are used to keep the site available, to diagnose faults and to detect abuse, and they are rotated and discarded on a short cycle.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site is supported by advertising. When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of personalised advertising from many other vendors through aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve advertisements on this site, and those vendors may set their own cookies. Where required we present a consent message before any non-essential cookie is set, and you may withdraw or change your consent at any time from that same message.
Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are used to keep the site working and, in the administration area, to keep a signed-in editor signed in. Analytics and advertising cookies are non-essential and are only set after consent where consent is required by law.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site; blocking advertising cookies will not stop you reading anything.
Your rights under the GDPR
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to be informed, the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, the right to object, and rights in relation to automated decision-making. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, write to the address below. We will respond within the period required by applicable law, generally one month.
Your rights under the CCPA / CPRA
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to know whether it is sold or shared and to whom, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights.
We do not sell personal information for money. To the extent that cookie-based advertising is treated as "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising under the CPRA, you can opt out using the consent controls described above or by writing to us.
Children
This site is aimed at adults practising a craft. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers and retention
Our servers and our advertising partners may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where personal data leaves the EEA or the UK we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. We keep personal data only as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
