1. Introduction and Commitment

FirozBlogger.com (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting the data and privacy of our users. This GDPR Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and protection of personal data for individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This policy should be read in conjunction with our main Privacy Policy. It specifically addresses the rights and our obligations under the GDPR. Our website, FirozBlogger.com (the “Site”), provides financial analysis of medical procedures and does not require user registration or the submission of sensitive personal data.

Data Controller: FirozBlogger.com is the data controller for any personal data processed through the Site. Contact Email: info@firozblogger.com

2. What is Personal Data?

Under the GDPR, personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. This can include a name, an email address, an IP address, or cookie identifiers.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing Data

We only process personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. For our Site, the lawful bases are:

  • Legitimate Interest: We process certain data (like anonymous analytics and IP addresses for security) based on our legitimate interest in operating, maintaining, and improving our website, and protecting it from security threats.
  • Consent: For activities like placing non-essential cookies (e.g., for advertising via Google AdSense), we rely on the user’s explicit consent, typically obtained through a cookie consent banner.

4. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Our data collection is minimal and designed to respect user privacy.

A. Data You Voluntarily Provide

  • Contact Information: If you choose to contact us via our email address (info@firozblogger.com), you will provide us with your email address and any other personal data you include in your message. We use this data solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. The lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in communicating with our users.

B. Data We Collect Automatically

  • Log Data and IP Addresses: When you visit our Site, our servers automatically record information (“Log Data”), which may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you visit. We process this data for our legitimate interests of monitoring site performance, analyzing trends, and ensuring the security of our network.
  • Cookies: We use cookies to enhance user experience and for advertising purposes.
    • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly.
    • Non-Essential Cookies (e.g., Advertising Cookies): We use third-party services like Google AdSense, which use cookies to serve personalized ads based on a user’s prior visits to our Site and other websites. We will only place these cookies on your device if you provide explicit consent through our cookie consent mechanism.

5. Use of Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Site, which helps fund our operations. Google may use cookies to collect data to personalize the ads you see. As a user from the EEA, you will be shown non-personalized ads by default unless you provide consent for personalized ads. Non-personalized ads are targeted using contextual information rather than your past behavior.

You can manage your ad preferences and opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/

6. Your Rights Under the GDPR

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the following data protection rights:

  • The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data that we hold.
  • The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • The Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions, particularly where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis.
  • The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
  • The Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your personal information.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@firozblogger.com. We will respond to your request within one month.

7. Data Security and Retention

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For data collected via email, we will retain it for a reasonable period to manage the correspondence. Anonymized analytical data may be kept for longer periods.

8. International Data Transfers

Our website is hosted on servers that may be located outside of the EEA. If you are accessing our Site from within the EEA, please be aware that your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries that may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those in your country.

When we do transfer data, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, such as using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or by relying on the service provider’s participation in a recognized data protection framework.

9. Data Breach Procedures

In the unlikely event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify the appropriate supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of it. If the breach poses a high risk to you, we will also inform you directly without undue delay.

10. How to Lodge a Complaint

If you have any concerns about our use of your personal information, you can make a complaint to us at info@firozblogger.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. A list of national Data Protection Authorities can be found here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en
