The Bold Italic respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (thebolditalic.com) and subscribe to our newsletter.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as data automatically collected when you interact with our site.

  • Personal Information: When you subscribe to our newsletter (hosted on Ghost) or contact us directly, we may collect your name and email address.
  • Usage Data: We use Google Analytics (GA4) to automatically collect non-personally identifiable information about your visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, device information, and pages viewed. We use this data strictly to understand our audience and improve our editorial content.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of our site may not function properly.

3. Advertising and Third-Party Partners

The Bold Italic uses third-party advertising companies to serve content and advertisements when you visit our website.

4. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you specific rights regarding your personal information:

  • The Right to Know: You have the right to request disclosure of the specific pieces and categories of personal information we have collected about you.
  • The Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
  • The Right to Opt-Out of the "Sale" or "Sharing" of Personal Information: We do not sell your personal information for direct monetary profit. However, allowing third-party ad networks to use cookies for personalized advertising is classified as "selling" or "sharing" under California law. You can opt out of this by clicking the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our website footer.
  • The Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at info@thebolditalic.com.

5. Data Retention and Security

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We implement reasonable security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information, though no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

Our website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us (such as local businesses, ticketing platforms, or affiliate links). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
