Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Roqyn Life (“Roqyn Life,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information about visitors to roqynlife.com (the “Site”) and users of any related services (collectively, the “Services”). Roqyn Life publishes lifestyle content and recommendations in the areas of health, technology, and travel, and participates in affiliate marketing programs.

​

We have designed this Policy to meet the requirements of major international privacy frameworks, including the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / UK GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), other U.S. state privacy laws (e.g., Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Utah UCPA, Texas TDPSA), Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), Australia’s Privacy Act 1988, and applicable data protection laws in other jurisdictions.

1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

​

Roqyn Life is the “controller” (under GDPR/UK GDPR), “business” (under CCPA/CPRA), and “operator” or equivalent (under other privacy laws) responsible for the personal information processed through the Site.

For all privacy-related inquiries you may contact us at contact@roqynlife.com. If you are located in the EU, UK, or Brazil, you may use the same address to reach our privacy contact and, where required, our designated representative.

​

2. Information We Collect

​

2.1 Information you provide to us

• Newsletter & subscription data: Name (optional) and email address when you sign up to our mailing list.

• Communications: The contents of emails, comments, contact-form submissions, or survey responses you send us.

• User-generated content: Reviews, testimonials, or other content you voluntarily submit.

 

2.2 Information collected automatically

• Device and log data: IP address (truncated where required), browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, clicks, and similar diagnostic data.

• Approximate location: Derived from IP address (country/region level).

• Cookies and similar technologies: See Section 5.

• Affiliate-click identifiers: When you click an affiliate link, the destination merchant (e.g., Amazon, Booking.com, ShareASale, Impact, CJ, Awin, Skimlinks) may set identifiers to attribute any resulting purchase to us.

 

2.3 Information from third parties

• Analytics and advertising providers that supply aggregated reports about Site usage.

• Affiliate networks that tell us whether a referred transaction completed (usually without identifying you personally).

• Social platforms, where you interact with Roqyn Life content and your privacy settings permit sharing.

We do not knowingly collect special-category data (such as health, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or biometric data) through the Site. Please do not submit such information to us.

​

3. How We Use Information

​

We use personal information to:

• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site and its content;

• deliver the newsletter and transactional or service emails you request, and allow you to unsubscribe;

• measure the performance of articles, pages, and affiliate campaigns;

• detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues;

• comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and defend legal claims; and

• with your consent where required, personalize content and serve or measure advertising.

We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you.

​

4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA, UK & Brazil)

​

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or Brazil, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal data:

​​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​​​

​​

​​

​​

​​

​Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing already carried out.

​

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

​

We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to make the Site work, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support affiliate attribution. The main categories are:

• Strictly necessary — required for core site functionality and security. Always on.

• Analytics / performance — including Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager), to understand aggregate usage.

• Affiliate / attribution — set by us or by merchants so a purchase made after clicking an affiliate link is credited correctly.

• Functional — to remember preferences such as language or consent choices.

• Advertising — where used, to measure or personalize ads. These are only set with consent where required.

 

Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK, and some U.S. states), we ask for your consent through a cookie banner before setting non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in our site footer. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

​

6. Affiliate Disclosures

​

Roqyn Life participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click certain links and make a purchase. Participation includes, without limitation:

• the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites;

• networks and platforms such as ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, Impact, Awin, Rakuten Advertising, Booking.com, Skimlinks, and similar providers.

 

When you click an affiliate link, a cookie or similar identifier may be placed by the merchant or network to track your purchase for commission purposes. Your transaction is processed by the merchant under their privacy policy and terms; Roqyn Life does not receive your payment details.

​​

7. Third-Party Services & Recipients

​

We share personal information only with service providers that help us operate the Site, with recipients you direct us to, and as required by law. Key categories include:

​​

​​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

These providers act as our processors (or independent controllers where the law so provides) and are bound by contractual and legal safeguards. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

​

8. International Data Transfers

​

Roqyn Life is an online publication accessed globally. Personal information we collect may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which you reside, including the United States. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from yours.

​

Where personal data is transferred from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to a country that is not the subject of an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, and, where available, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You may request a copy of the safeguards in place by contacting us.

​

9. Data Retention

​

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law:

• Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe or request deletion, then deleted within a reasonable period except for suppression data needed to honor your opt-out.

• Analytics data: stored in aggregated or pseudonymized form for up to 26 months by default in Google Analytics.

• Contact messages: typically up to 24 months after our last interaction.

• Affiliate attribution cookies: lifetimes are set by the relevant merchant and typically expire within 24 hours to 90 days.

​

10. Your Privacy Rights

​

Subject to your location and applicable law, you may have the following rights:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.

• Correction / rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data.

• Deletion (“right to be forgotten”), subject to legal exceptions.

• Restriction of processing.

• Objection to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.

• Data portability, where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.

• Withdrawal of consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

• Right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (for the EU/EEA, see the EDPB list; for the UK, the ICO; for Canada, the OPC; for Brazil, the ANPD; for Australia, the OAIC).

​

To exercise any of these rights, email contact@roqynlife.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (generally 30 days; 45 days for CCPA/CPRA with a possible extension). We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. You may also authorize an agent to act on your behalf, subject to reasonable verification.

​

11. Additional Disclosures for U.S. Residents

 

California (CCPA/CPRA)

In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (e.g., IP address, cookie IDs, email), internet or other electronic network activity information (e.g., browsing and interaction data), geolocation (approximate), and commercial information (e.g., affiliate click activity). The sources and purposes of collection are described in Sections 2–3.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, some sharing of online identifiers with analytics or advertising partners may be considered a “sale” or “sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising” under the CCPA/CPRA. You have the right to opt out at any time by using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our site footer, by enabling the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, or by emailing us. You also have the right to: know; delete; correct inaccurate information; limit use of sensitive personal information; and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

 

Other U.S. States (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, and others)

Residents of these states have rights to access, correct (where applicable), delete, obtain a copy of their data, and opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or certain profiling. You may exercise these rights at contact@roqynlife.com. You may appeal a denial of a request by replying to our response email with the word “Appeal.”

​

12. Children’s Privacy

​

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it. We comply with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and equivalent international standards.

​

13. Security

​

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These include encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and vendor due diligence. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected individuals and regulators as required by applicable law.

​

14. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control

​

Most browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no common industry standard for how to interpret DNT signals, our Site does not respond to DNT. We do, however, honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out of “sale” and “sharing” where required by law.

​

15. Changes to This Policy

​

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where required, provide additional notice (for example, by email or a prominent notice on the Site). We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
