Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what Her Hair Ideas collects, why it is collected, and how it is protected when you visit this website. Her Hair Ideas is a free, content-only blog about hairstyle ideas. It is not a shop, and it does not collect payments, card details or account passwords from readers.
Information we collect
We collect only the information needed to run the blog and to reply to readers:
- Contact form entries: when you use the form on our Contact page, we receive the name, email address and message you choose to send. We use these details only to read and, where appropriate, reply to your message. Please do not send sensitive personal information or personal photographs through the form.
- Comments, where open: if you leave a comment on an article where comments are enabled, the name, email address and comment you provide, together with technical details such as your IP address and browser information, may be collected by WordPress to display and moderate the comment and to help prevent spam.
- Technical and usage information: like most websites, our hosting and security systems may record standard technical information, such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, and the time of your visit, to keep the site working and secure.
How we use information
We use the information above to publish and improve our articles, to reply to messages, to moderate comments, to understand which hairstyle topics readers find helpful, and to protect the site from spam and misuse. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use contact form details for marketing unless you have clearly asked us to do so.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. WordPress, caching and security features may also set cookies that are needed for the site to work. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some features of the site may not work properly without them. This policy also serves as the site’s cookie information: no separate Cookie Policy page is published, because cookie use is described here.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors use Her Hair Ideas, including the pages viewed, the time spent on the site and general location data. This information helps us improve our content and does not, by itself, identify you personally.
Pinterest and sharing buttons
Her Hair Ideas is designed to be saved and shared on Pinterest. Articles and images include Pin It / Save buttons so you can save an idea to your own Pinterest boards. When you click a Pinterest button, Pinterest may collect information in line with its own privacy policy, and we cannot control that collection. Saving an idea does not give Her Hair Ideas access to your Pinterest account, and we do not receive your Pinterest password.
Advertising
In the future, we may display advertising on Her Hair Ideas through networks such as Google AdSense or Mediavine. Advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. If advertising is introduced, this policy will be updated to reflect the networks actually in use.
Embedded content and external links
Some pages may include embedded content, such as videos or images, or links to other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you had visited that website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with the embedded content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
How long we keep information
Contact form messages and comments are kept only for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry, to moderate the discussion, or to keep a record of corrections and site history. Aggregated analytics information is kept in anonymised form for as long as it remains useful for understanding how the site is used.
Your rights
You can ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you, and you can ask us to stop using it where that applies. Because the site does not operate reader accounts or a shop, most requests will relate to a contact message or a comment. To make a request, please use the form on our Contact page and tell us enough about the message or comment for us to find it, without sending further sensitive information.
Children
Her Hair Ideas is a general hairstyle inspiration blog and is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and parents or guardians who believe a child has sent us personal information may contact us through the Contact page so we can delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we add a new form, analytics tool or advertising network. The version published on this page is the current version. If you have questions about this policy or your privacy on Her Hair Ideas, please reach out through our Contact page.
