This policy explains what information bobbyshakes.com collects when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have — including how cookies work on the site.
Who we are
bobbyshakes.com ("we," "us," or "the site") is a reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop culture platform operated by Bobby Shakes, based in Boston, Massachusetts. This policy applies to the pages, galleries, video, chat, and community features hosted at bobbyshakes.com.
Information we collect
We collect two kinds of information:
Collected automatically. When you visit, our servers and third-party tools may record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to keep the site running, and understand traffic.
Information you give us. You share information directly when you email us, post in the site chat, submit a photo or clip through the Fan Cam, or join the mailing list. Anything you post in a public area of the site may be visible to others.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file stored on your device that helps a site remember information about your visit. We use cookies to run core features and to measure how the site is used.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
No advertising
bobbyshakes.com does not show ads and does not use advertising cookies. We don't sell or share your information for advertising.
Visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, analytics cookies stay off by default, so your visit is not measured with cookies.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it. These tools collect information such as pages viewed, time on site, and general location at the city or region level. They do not tell us who you are personally.
Chat, Fan Cam, and user content
Our chat and Fan Cam features let you post messages, images, and clips. Content you submit to these areas is public and may be seen, saved, or shared by others. Do not post anything you consider private. We moderate community areas and may edit or remove content that breaks our rules, and we may store submissions to operate and moderate the features.
Children's privacy
The site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will remove it.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we handle, including serving the site over a secure HTTPS connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email us using the contact below.
Links to other sites
The site links to other properties we operate, including orettrobinson.com and flyahs.com, as well as to third-party platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and X. Once you leave bobbyshakes.com, this policy no longer applies. Please review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
