• Consent: where you agree to non-essential cookies or request marketing communications.
• Contract: where processing is necessary to provide requested SEO services or take steps before entering into an agreement with you.
• Legitimate interests: where necessary to operate, improve, protect and promote our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to meet accounting, taxation, regulatory or other legal requirements.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

BLAK BEIGE may use cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, analyse traffic, improve performance and measure affiliate referrals.

Cookies used through the website may include:

• Strictly necessary cookies required for security and essential website functionality.
• Preference cookies that remember selected settings.
• Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the website.
• Advertising and affiliate cookies that may record referrals, measure conversions or support relevant advertising.

Where required by law, non-essential cookies will be used only after you provide consent. You may use our cookie consent controls, where displayed, or your browser settings to reject or delete cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website functions.

7. Analytics

We may use analytics services, including services such as Google Analytics, to understand website usage and improve our content. Analytics providers may collect information about your device, browser, approximate location, website activity and traffic source.

Depending on your location and our configuration, analytics information may be collected only after you consent to analytics cookies. You may withdraw your cookie consent using the consent controls available on the website.

8. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Products

Some pages and articles on BLAK BEIGE contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and subsequently make a purchase or complete another qualifying action, BLAK BEIGE may receive a commission from the relevant merchant or affiliate network. This generally does not increase the price you pay.

Affiliate links may include a referral identifier that allows the merchant or affiliate network to recognise that your visit originated from BLAK BEIGE. The third party may use cookies or similar technologies to record the referral and attribute any resulting transaction.

When you leave our website, the collection and use of your information are governed by the privacy policy and terms of the third-party website. We encourage you to review those documents before submitting personal or payment information.

BLAK BEIGE does not normally receive your complete payment-card details when you purchase directly from a third-party merchant. Payments, fulfilment, returns, subscriptions and customer accounts are normally handled by the relevant merchant.

9. Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to receive marketing communications, we may use your name and email address to send updates, offers, content or information about our services and selected products.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by emailing contact@briboa.com. Unsubscribing from marketing will not prevent us from sending essential service-related or administrative communications.

10. When We Share Information

We may disclose personal information to trusted third parties where reasonably necessary, including:

• Website hosting, maintenance and security providers;
• Email and communication providers;
• Analytics and website-performance providers;
• Customer relationship and business software providers;
• SEO, reporting and project-management platforms;
• Affiliate networks and merchants;
• Professional advisers, including accountants and lawyers;
• Regulators, courts or public authorities where legally required; and
• A purchaser or successor in connection with a merger, sale, restructuring or transfer of the business.

We require service providers handling personal information on our behalf to process it only for authorised purposes and to apply appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some advertising or tracking activities may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing” or targeted advertising under certain US state privacy laws. Where those laws apply, eligible users may have a right to opt out.

11. International Data Transfers

BLAK BEIGE may use service providers located in the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries. As a result, personal information may be processed outside the country in which you live.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as approved contractual protections, adequacy regulations or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide services, respond to enquiries, maintain records, resolve disputes and comply with legal, taxation and accounting requirements.

The period for which information is retained may depend on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, legal limitation periods, applicable record-keeping requirements and whether the information is needed to establish or defend legal claims.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it or securely dispose of it.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information from accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid sending sensitive information through an unsecured contact form or ordinary email unless it is necessary.

14. Your UK and European Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the circumstances, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of your information;
• Request restriction of processing;
• Object to certain processing based on legitimate interests;
• Object to direct marketing at any time;
• Request data portability where applicable;
• Withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing; and
• Lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.

UK residents may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. More information is available at ico.org.uk .

To exercise a privacy right, email contact@briboa.com. We may need to request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity.

15. Privacy Rights for United States Residents

Certain US state laws may provide eligible residents with rights relating to their personal information. Depending on the law and whether it applies to BLAK BEIGE, these may include the right to:

• Know what categories of personal information are collected;
• Request access to specific personal information;
• Request correction of inaccurate information;
• Request deletion, subject to legal exceptions;
• Receive a portable copy of certain information;
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising or certain profiling;
• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and
• Exercise privacy rights without unlawful discrimination or retaliation.

BLAK BEIGE does not sell personal information in exchange for money. If an applicable US law treats our use of advertising or affiliate-tracking technologies as a sale or sharing of personal information, eligible residents may request to opt out by emailing contact@briboa.com or by using the cookie preference controls available on the website.

These rights are subject to applicable thresholds, definitions, exemptions and verification requirements. We may deny or limit a request where permitted by law and will explain the reason where legally required.

16. Children’s Privacy

BLAK BEIGE is intended for a general business and adult audience. Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

17. External Websites

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including affiliate merchants, software providers and other online services. BLAK BEIGE does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, content or business practices of those websites.

A link from BLAK BEIGE does not mean that the third party follows the same privacy practices described in this policy. Please review the third party’s privacy policy before providing information.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our website, services, affiliate partnerships, technology or legal obligations.

The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
