Privacy Policy

Who we are

Aboud Blog (aboudblog.com) is run by Aboud, who is the data controller for the personal data described here. You can reach us through the contact page or at info@aboudblog.com.

What we collect and why

• Tool and agency submissions. When you use the submission form, we collect your name, work email and the details you send about the tool or agency. We use them only to review the submission and follow up with you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running the directory, and your request to be listed.
• Contact messages. If you contact us, we use your name, email and message to reply.
• Comments. If you leave a comment, we store the comment, your name, your email and your IP address to display it and to fight spam.
• Newsletter. If you subscribe, we store your email address to send the newsletter, and we use it for nothing else. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.
• Analytics. We use Google Site Kit to measure how people use the site through Google services such as Google Analytics. These tools may set cookies and collect usage data such as pages visited, device and approximate location.
• Security. Our security software (Wordfence) logs IP addresses and request details to block attacks and spam.

Cookies

The site uses cookies that are needed for it to work (for example, to remember a comment you left) and, where enabled, analytics cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. When you first visit, a cookie banner asks for your consent before any analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time from the link in the footer.

Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with the services that run the site: our web host (Hostinger), Google (analytics and search tools) and our email newsletter provider. Some of these providers may process data outside your country, under their own safeguards.

How long we keep it

We keep submission and contact data for as long as we need it to handle your request and maintain the listing, then delete it. Comment data is kept while the comment is published. Analytics data follows Google’s retention settings.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the EU and UK GDPR, you can ask to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. Contact us to make a request. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page if our practices change, and change the date at the top.
