Textile Library (https://textilelibrary.blogspot.com) is a blog about textiles, run by Quamrul Ahsan, who is based in Germany. This page explains, in plain language, how the blog uses personal data and cookies. It is not legal advice, and it does not claim that the blog meets every legal requirement.
Google provides the hosting and several of the services described below. Google’s own use of information is also described in Google’s Privacy Policy.
Who is responsible, and how to get in touch
Quamrul Ahsan is responsible for this blog’s own use of personal data.
This page does not publish an email or postal address. To ask a question about this policy, or about personal data held in connection with the blog, please use the Contact Form in the blog’s sidebar.
If your question is about Google’s own services (for example, your Google Account, Google ads or Analytics), please use the controls and request options Google describes in Google’s Privacy Policy.
Hosting on Blogger
The blog is hosted by Google on the Blogger platform. When you open a page, technical information is sent to Google so that the page can be delivered and the service can be operated. That typically includes your IP address, browser and device information, and the page you requested.
Google describes how it collects, uses and protects that information in Google’s Privacy Policy. Google may process information on servers outside the country you are in. This page does not claim that any particular transfer method has been independently reviewed.
The blog is published to share textile information, to allow discussion where comments are open, and to keep the site running.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
The blog uses Google AdSense to show advertisements that help support the site.
Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies, and may process information such as online identifiers, your IP address, and information about visits or ad interactions. This can be used to show ads, measure how ads perform, and, where allowed, show personalised ads.
Non-personalised ads should not be assumed to be free of cookies.
You can read how Google uses information for advertising in Google’s Advertising policy. You can review or change your ad personalisation settings at Google’s Ad Settings. Google’s Privacy Policy also applies to these services.
Google Analytics (GA4)
The blog uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how the site is used, for example which pages are read. The Measurement ID is G-WNTDQ21T3K.
Google describes how Analytics handles IP addresses as follows. In Google Analytics 4, IP addresses are used at collection time to determine location information (country, city, and the latitude and longitude of the city) and are then discarded before data is logged in any data centre or server. Google also states that, when collecting data, Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses from EU, Switzerland or UK users; for that traffic, IP-address data is used only to derive coarse location and is then immediately discarded.
Those descriptions are Google’s, not an independent audit of this blog. You can read them on Google’s pages about EU-focused data and privacy in Analytics and regional data collection. Google’s Privacy Policy explains Google’s processing more generally.
Comments
The blog uses Blogger comments. Depending on the settings at the time, you may be able to comment, including without a named profile. Comments may be moderated before they appear.
Once a comment is published, it is public. It may show the name or profile information you chose to include. Please do not post sensitive or confidential information in a comment.
If you would like a comment you submitted to be removed, please use the Contact Form in the sidebar. Copies that other people have made, or that appear in search results or archives, may be outside the operator’s control.
Contact Form
The blog provides a Contact Form in the sidebar. The form asks for your name, your email address and your message. That information is sent through Blogger to the blog operator, so that he can read the message and, where appropriate, reply.
Please do not use the form to send sensitive or confidential information that you would not want transmitted by email. Messages are used to handle your enquiry and are not published on the blog.
Cookie consent
Cookies and similar technologies may be used by the blog’s Google services, including advertising and, where applicable, Analytics, as described above.
For visitors in relevant regions, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google may show an EU consent message. You can use that message to accept, reject or manage optional choices, such as personalised advertising cookies. You can usually change or withdraw those choices later through the same kind of message or Google’s own settings. Withdrawing consent does not undo processing that already took place.
You can also control cookies in your browser. Browser settings are useful, but they may not replace the consent message for advertising on this site.
This section describes the intended consent route. It is not a claim that the consent setup has been legally assessed.
Your rights
If data-protection law (including the EU GDPR) applies to you, you may have the right to:
- ask for access to personal data
- ask for correction of inaccurate personal data
- ask for deletion
- ask for restriction of processing
- ask for portability of data you have provided
- object to certain processing
- withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent
- complain to a supervisory authority
To make a request about the blog operator’s own processing, please use the Contact Form in the sidebar. To make a request about Google’s processing, please use the options Google describes in Google’s Privacy Policy.
You have the right to complain to a data-protection supervisory authority. Because the operator is based in Germany, you may contact the Rhineland-Palatinate authority: the Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz (LfDI RLP), at www.datenschutz.rlp.de. You may also be able to complain to the authority in the country where you live or work, or where you think a problem occurred.
Children
Textile Library is a professional and educational blog about textiles. It is not directed at children, and the operator does not knowingly collect personal data from children through this site. If you believe a child has sent personal data through a comment or the Contact Form, please use the Contact Form in the sidebar so that it can be reviewed and, where appropriate, removed.
