Caramel Magazine (“Caramel,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates caramelmagazine.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you provide to us. When you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a story, contact us, or comment on a post, we may collect your name, email address, and anything else you choose to include in your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically receive certain information when you visit the Site, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and referring URLs. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies, including Jetpack Stats, which we use to understand how the Site is used.
How We Use Your Information
- To send our newsletter and respond to messages you send us
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- To understand how visitors use the Site so we can make it better
- To review story submissions and pitches
- To comply with legal obligations
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the Site running smoothly, remember your preferences, and understand site traffic through analytics tools like Jetpack Stats. Embedded content from platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok may also set their own cookies when you interact with it. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some parts of the Site may not work as intended without them.
Third-Party Services
The Site is hosted on WordPress.com and uses Jetpack (both by Automattic) for functions such as site statistics, subscriptions, and social sharing. We also link to and embed content from third-party platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube). Those services have their own privacy policies governing any information they collect, and we encourage you to review them.
Do We Sell Your Information?
No. We do not sell your personal information for monetary value, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as our hosting and email-delivery providers), and where required by law. For more detail on your rights, see our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, request a copy of it, ask us to correct or delete it, and opt out of certain uses. California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), described further on our Do Not Sell or Share page. To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@caramelmagazine.com. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
