Privacy Policy

Pretty Glow Style is a place for hair ideas, nail inspiration, beauty tips, and everyday style, and many readers arrive here with a saved Pin in hand and a salon appointment coming up. While you browse, some information about your visit is collected automatically, and a little more is collected if you choose to subscribe, comment, or get in touch. This Privacy Policy explains what that information is, how it’s used, and the choices available to you.

By using prettyglowstyle.com, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you don’t agree with them, please stop using the site.

Protecting the Privacy of Children

Pretty Glow Style is written for adults and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has shared personal information with us, such as through a comment or newsletter signup, please email [email protected]. Once we’ve confirmed the request, we’ll delete that information promptly.

The Information We Gather

Pretty Glow Style collects two general types of information.

Information you choose to share with us:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your phone number or mailing address, if you include them in a message
• Payment details, if Pretty Glow Style offers products or paid resources in the future
• Anything else you submit through comments, contact forms, or surveys

Information collected automatically when you visit:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Internet service provider (ISP)
• Date and time stamps
• Referring and exit pages
• Pages viewed and links clicked

This information reaches us in several ways. You provide some of it directly through contact forms, blog comments, newsletter signups, and purchases where applicable. The rest is gathered through server log files, Google Analytics, and cookies. Each of these is explained in more detail below.

When You Comment or Connect With Us on Social Media

When you leave a comment on Pretty Glow Style, we collect the name and email address you enter, the comment itself, your IP address, and your browser’s user agent string. The technical details help us detect and filter spam.

Your name and comment appear publicly on the site. Your email address does not. If the comment system uses an avatar service such as Gravatar, an anonymized string created from your email address may be sent to that service to check whether you have a profile there.

If you follow, save, like, or share Pretty Glow Style content on Pinterest, Instagram, or other social platforms, that activity is governed by the platform’s own privacy policy. Anything you post publicly on those platforms can be seen by others. We may also see public profile information and interaction data the platform makes available to account holders.

Cookies on This Site

Cookies are small text files that a website places in your browser. Pretty Glow Style uses cookies to remember your preferences, save your comment details if you ask us to, understand how visitors use the site, and support analytics and advertising services. Some cookies are set by us, while others are set by third-party services we work with.

You have the right to refuse or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies already stored on your device. Your browser’s help section will explain how. Please keep in mind that some site features may not work as intended with cookies turned off.

For visitors in the European Union and the United Kingdom, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies where the ePrivacy Directive and related laws require it. You can change your choice at any time.

Server Log Files

Like most websites, Pretty Glow Style uses standard log files. These files record visits to the site, which is a routine practice for hosting companies.

Log files may include your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time stamps, referring and exit pages, and the number of clicks. This information is not linked to anything that personally identifies you. It’s used to analyze trends, administer the site, understand how visitors move through it, and protect it against security threats.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how readers find and use Pretty Glow Style. It shows us which posts are read most, how long visitors stay, and which pages lead to others. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather this information, and the reports we see are aggregated rather than tied to individual people.

Google processes this data according to its own privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you’d prefer not to be included in Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Web Beacons, Pixels, and Tags

Web beacons, pixels, and tags are small pieces of code or tiny transparent images placed on web pages or in emails. Pretty Glow Style and its third-party partners may use them to count visitors, measure email open rates, learn which content is popular, and, now or in the future, measure how well advertising performs.

These technologies often work together with cookies, so disabling cookies in your browser will limit many of them. For emails, you can turn off automatic image loading in your email program.

How Your Information Is Put to Use

The information we collect helps us to:

• Operate and maintain the website
• Improve and personalize your experience, including learning which hairstyles, nail looks, and outfit ideas readers want to see more of
• Respond to your comments, questions, and customer service requests
• Send the newsletters and updates you’ve signed up for
• Carry out marketing and promotional activities, with your consent where the law requires it
• Detect and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and security problems
• Meet our legal obligations

For visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we process personal data based on your consent, our legitimate interest in running and improving the site, or the need to comply with the law.

Affiliate Partnerships, Including Amazon

Some Pretty Glow Style posts contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That might be a round brush mentioned in a blowout guide or a top coat featured in a nail post.

Pretty Glow Style is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals from our site. Posts that contain affiliate links are clearly marked.

Advertising Partners

Pretty Glow Style may work with third-party advertising partners now or in the future to display ads on the site. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites. They use that information to show interest-based ads for products and services you may find relevant.

Information collected by advertising partners is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one, and we don’t control the cookies they place.

You can opt out of personalized advertising from many participating companies through these tools:

• Network Advertising Initiative: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/
• Digital Advertising Alliance: https://optout.aboutads.info/
• For European visitors, Your Online Choices: https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/

Opting out won’t remove ads from the site. It means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.

Content Embedded From Other Websites

Articles on Pretty Glow Style may include embedded content such as Pinterest Pins, YouTube videos, Instagram posts, and images hosted elsewhere. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website directly.

Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, add their own tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This includes tracking you more closely if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Links That Lead Elsewhere

Our posts often link to brands, retailers, salons, and other publications. This Privacy Policy applies only to Pretty Glow Style. Once you leave our site, the other website’s privacy policy applies, and we aren’t responsible for its content or practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Our Newsletter and Email Practices

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we’ll use your email address to send new posts, seasonal hair and nail ideas, outfit roundups, and occasional product recommendations, some of which may include affiliate links. Your email address is stored with an email service provider that handles delivery on our behalf.

In keeping with the CAN-SPAM Act, Pretty Glow Style commits to the following:

• We never use false or misleading subject lines or sender information
• We identify promotional messages as advertisements where required
• Every marketing email includes a valid physical mailing address
• Every email includes a clear way to unsubscribe
• We honor unsubscribe requests within 10 business days
• We never sell or rent your email address to anyone

Opting Out and Unsubscribing

You’re always in control of the messages you receive from us.

• Emails: Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send.
• By request: Email [email protected] with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line, and we’ll remove you.
• Cookies and personalized ads: Adjust your browser settings or use the opt-out tools listed in the advertising section above.
• Analytics: Use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Even after you unsubscribe, we may still send a direct reply to a message or request you’ve sent us.

When Information Is Shared

Pretty Glow Style does not sell your personal information for money. We may share information in these limited situations:

• Service providers: Companies that help us run the site, such as web hosting, email delivery, analytics, and comment spam filtering. They may use the information only to perform those services.
• Advertising and affiliate partners: As described earlier, through cookies and similar technologies.
• Legal requirements: When required to comply with a law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Pretty Glow Style, our readers, or others.
• Business transfers: If the site is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. This policy would continue to apply, or you would be notified of any changes.

Under certain state privacy laws, allowing advertising partners to collect data through cookies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. The California section below explains how to opt out.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We keep information only as long as it serves a clear purpose.

• Comments: Comments and their related data are kept indefinitely, so follow-up comments from returning readers can be recognized and approved automatically instead of waiting in a moderation queue.
• Newsletter subscribers: Your email address is kept until you unsubscribe. After that, it’s deleted or kept on a suppression list so you won’t be emailed again.
• Messages you send us: These are kept for as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record keeping.
• Analytics data: This is kept according to our Google Analytics retention settings.
• Log files: These are kept according to our hosting provider’s standard retention period.

You can ask us to delete your personal information at any time, subject to any legal obligations to keep it.

Keeping Your Information Safe

Pretty Glow Style uses reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your information, including SSL encryption, secure hosting, limited access to data, and regularly updated software.

That said, no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing it electronically is 100 percent secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security. If you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us right away.

Your Rights Under the GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Erasure: Ask us to delete your personal data.
• Restriction: Ask us to limit how we process your data.
• Objection: Object to our processing of your data, including for direct marketing.
• Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format, or have it transferred to another organization.
• Withdrawal of consent: Withdraw your consent at any time. This won’t affect any processing carried out before you withdrew it.
• Complaint: Lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, usually the one in the country where you live or work.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We’ll respond within one month, and we may ask you to verify your identity first.

Privacy Rights for California Residents

If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you these rights:

• Right to know: Request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we’ve collected about you, where it came from, why it was collected, and the categories of third parties it was shared with.
• Right to delete: Request that we delete personal information we’ve collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to correct: Request that we correct inaccurate personal information.
• Right to opt out (“Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information”): Direct us not to sell or share your personal information, including for interest-based advertising.
• Right to non-discrimination: You won’t be treated differently for exercising any of these rights.

To make a request, email [email protected]. For opt-out requests, please use the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.” We aim to respond within one month. If we need more time, we’ll let you know, and we will always respond within the timeframe California law allows, which is generally 45 days.

Changes to This Policy

Pretty Glow Style may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, new partners, or updates to the law. When that happens, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.

Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
