Privacy Policy

Introduction

DrivenPublishers.com is owned and operated by Peter Homquist (Contact: peter@drivenpublishers.com). This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle personal data on our website, ensuring compliance with GDPR and other applicable privacy laws.

Data Collection and Usage

Our website primarily provides promotional and blog content. We do not actively collect personal data from visitors, such as names, email addresses, or other contact information through forms or comments. However, like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience and analyze website traffic.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to collect non-personal data such as IP addresses, browser types, and browsing patterns. This information helps us understand how our website is used and how we can improve our services. Users can control cookie settings through their browser preferences.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

Our website uses various cookies to enhance user experience and provide personalized content. Specifically, we utilize YouTube Cookies to embed videos, WordPress Emojis Cookies to display emojis, and Google Fonts Cookies to load custom fonts. These cookies may collect data such as IP addresses and browsing information to optimize the functionality of these features.

YouTube Cookies: These cookies are set by YouTube to track video usage and preferences when users watch embedded videos on our site. The data collected is stored on servers located in the United States and potentially other locations worldwide, depending on Google’s data center distribution. For more details, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy.

WordPress Emojis Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the display of emojis within our blog posts, ensuring they render consistently across different devices and browsers. The data is typically stored on WordPress’s servers, which may be located in the United States or other regions where WordPress has data centers.

Google Fonts Cookies: These cookies are used to ensure that fonts are displayed correctly and consistently across all devices. They may collect and process user data, which is stored on Google’s globally distributed servers. This includes locations outside the European Union, and data may be transferred internationally.

Users have the option to manage and revoke their consent for these cookies at any time. This can be done by adjusting the cookie settings available at the footer of our website. By modifying these settings, users can choose which types of cookies to accept or reject, thereby controlling their data preferences.

Purpose: YouTube enables the embedding of content published on youtube.com into websites to enhance the website with videos. This requires processing the user’s IP-address and metadata. Cookies or cookie-like technologies can be stored and read. These can contain personal data and technical data like user IDs, consent, settings of the video player, connected devices, interactions with the service, push notifications and used account. This data can be used to collect visited websites, detailed statistics about user behavior, and it can be used to improve the services of Google. It can also be used for profiling, e.g. to provide you with personalized services, such as ads based on your interests or recommendations. This data may be linked by Google to the data of users logged in on the websites of Google (e.g. youtube.com and google.com). Google provides personal information to their affiliates and other trusted businesses or persons to process it for them, based on Google’s instructions and in compliance with Google’s privacy policy.

Purpose: WordPress Emojis is an emoji set that is loaded from wordpress.org when an old browser is used, which would not be able to display emojis without the integration of the service. This requires processing the user’s IP-address and metadata. No cookies or cookie-like technologies are set on the client of the user. Cookies or cookie-like technologies can be stored and read. These contain the test result and the date of the last test to determine whether the browser can display emojis.
