This Privacy Policy explains what information NW Redhead (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit nwredhead.com (the “Site”), how that information is used, and the choices you have. By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
Who we are
NW Redhead is an online publication about color. Our website address is https://nwredhead.com/. You can contact us about privacy at [email protected].
Information we collect
Information you provide
The Site has no user accounts, comments or newsletter sign-ups. If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to you and keep a record of the conversation.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the Site and the third-party services it uses may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through server logs, cookies and similar technologies described below.
Analytics (Statcounter)
We use Statcounter to understand how visitors use the Site — for example which pages are popular and how people find us. Statcounter may use cookies and collect information such as IP address, browser, device, referring site and pages visited. We use these statistics only in aggregate to improve the Site. You can learn more in Statcounter’s legal and privacy information.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to show advertisements. Google and its partners act as third-party vendors and use cookies to serve ads on the Site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info or, in the EU/UK, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our Site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Where the law requires it — for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland — consent for personalized advertising is requested through a consent message before such cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time through that message or your browser settings.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising as described above. We also store your light/dark theme preference in your browser’s local storage; this never leaves your device. Our Cookie Policy explains the categories of cookies in more detail and how to control them.
How we use information
- to operate, maintain and secure the Site;
- to understand how the Site is used and improve our content;
- to show advertising that helps keep the Site free;
- to respond to messages and correction requests;
- to comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (for personalized advertising and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (running, securing and improving the Site, and responding to messages), and legal obligations.
Sharing of information
We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site — such as our hosting provider, Statcounter and Google — and only as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or when required by law. These providers process data under their own privacy policies.
Data retention
Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your request and for our records. Analytics and advertising data is retained according to the settings and policies of Statcounter and Google.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to data portability. Residents of California and other U.S. states may have rights to know, delete and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Security
The Site is a static website served over HTTPS and does not store personal data in a database. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect information.
Links to other websites
Our articles may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
