This policy explains what information hauteblowdry.com collects, why it is collected, and what you can do about it. It is written to be read, not to be impressive.
Information you give us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it to reply to you and keep the correspondence only as long as it is useful for that purpose.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which articles are read and how people arrive. It records information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device type, browser and referring site.
- Server and security logs. Our host and our content delivery network record requests, including IP address and user agent, to serve the site and to block abuse.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not build advertising profiles ourselves.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish repeat visits from new ones. Our content delivery network may set a cookie for security purposes. Advertising partners, including Google, set their own cookies; see the Advertising section below.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them, though some measurement will be incomplete.
Third parties we rely on
- Google Analytics — measurement.
- Cloudflare — content delivery and protection against attacks.
- DreamHost — web hosting.
Each of these processes data under its own terms. We choose providers that let us keep collection to what is needed to run the site.
Advertising
This site carries advertising served by Google AdSense. Google is a third-party vendor and uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and to other sites on the web.
Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on your visits here and elsewhere. Other third-party vendors may also place cookies when their ads are shown.
You can turn off personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can opt out of a wider list of vendors at aboutads.info or Your Online Choices.
We do not pass your name, email address or any other detail you send us through the contact form to advertising partners.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Write to us and we will act on it.
You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely using Google’s browser add-on, or by blocking the analytics domain in your browser or an extension.
Children
This site is aimed at adults working in or around the salon trade. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
When this policy changes materially, the date at the top changes and the substance of the change is described here rather than silently swapped in.
