3. Services we use

Google Analytics and Google Site Kit

We use Google Analytics, connected through the Site Kit by Google plugin, to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time on page, referring sites, device and browser type, and approximate location. This information is used in aggregate to help us improve the Site. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We also use Google Search Console to understand how the Site appears in Google search results. Search Console provides us with aggregated search data and does not place cookies on your device through our Site.

Cookie consent with Complianz

We use the Complianz plugin to manage cookie consent. Depending on where you are located, Complianz may show a banner that lets you accept, decline or customize non-essential cookies, such as analytics cookies. Complianz stores your choice in a cookie so we can remember your preferences. You can change your cookie choices at any time through the cookie settings link or banner on the Site.

Newsletter with MailPoet

Our newsletter is managed with the MailPoet plugin. When you subscribe, we store your email address (and first name, if provided), the date you subscribed and your subscription status in our WordPress database. Depending on configuration, emails may be sent through MailPoet’s sending service or our own email provider, which process your email address to deliver messages. Newsletter emails may include basic open and click tracking so we can see which content is helpful. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email, and you can contact us to request deletion of your subscriber data.

Comment spam checks with Akismet

We use Akismet, a service provided by Automattic, to check comments for spam. When you submit a comment, information such as your name, email address, website, comment text, IP address and browser user agent may be sent to Akismet for spam checking. Learn more in Automattic’s privacy policy at automattic.com/privacy.

Security with Wordfence

We use the Wordfence security plugin to protect the Site from malicious traffic, brute-force login attempts and other threats. Wordfence logs security-related information such as IP addresses, request URLs, user agents and the time of each visit, and it may check IP addresses against threat information provided by its developer, Defiant. This data is used only for security purposes. Learn more at wordfence.com/privacy-policy.

Amazon affiliate links and cookies

The Site contains Amazon affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an Amazon link on our Site, Amazon may place cookies on your browser to track that you came from NailStyleGlow so that qualifying purchases can be credited to us. We do not receive your name, address or payment details from Amazon. Amazon’s use of information is governed by the Amazon.com Privacy Notice, available on Amazon’s website.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our service providers use:

  • Essential cookies needed for the Site to work and for security, including WordPress and Wordfence cookies.
  • Preference cookies, such as the Complianz cookie that remembers your consent choices.
  • Analytics cookies from Google Analytics, used where permitted or where you have consented.
  • Affiliate cookies set by Amazon when you click an affiliate link.
  • Comment cookies that WordPress may set to remember your name and email if you choose.

You can control cookies through our cookie banner and through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

5. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only:

  • With service providers that help us run the Site, such as our hosting provider, Google, Automattic (Akismet), Defiant (Wordfence) and our email sending service, for the purposes described above.
  • With Amazon, through cookies set when you click an affiliate link.
  • When required by law, or to protect our rights, our users or the public.
  • In connection with a sale, merger or transfer of the Site, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information.

6. Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Comments are kept as long as they remain published. Security logs and analytics data are kept for limited periods according to the settings of the tools we use.

7. Your choices

  • Cookies: manage your preferences through our cookie banner or browser settings.
  • Analytics: use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
  • Newsletter: unsubscribe using the link in any email.
  • Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control: where required by law, we honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

8. Your privacy rights in California and other US states

Residents of California, under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and residents of other US states with consumer privacy laws, such as Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas and Oregon, may have some or all of the following rights, depending on applicable law:

  • Right to know and access the personal information we collect about you.
  • Right to delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and of targeted advertising.
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.
  • Right to appeal a decision we make about your request, where state law provides this right.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some state laws may treat certain analytics or affiliate cookies as “sharing” or “targeted advertising.” You can opt out of non-essential cookies through our cookie banner, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals where required.

Categories of personal information we may collect in the past 12 months include identifiers (such as email address and IP address), internet or network activity (such as pages viewed), approximate geolocation, and information you choose to send us. Sources and purposes are described above.

To make a request, email us at contact@nailstyleglow.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We will verify your request using the information you provide, such as confirming access to the email address involved. You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, where permitted by law. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

9. Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Data security

We use reasonable measures, including security plugins and secure connections, to protect information. No website or online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International visitors

The Site is operated in the United States. If you visit from outside the US, your information will be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

12. Changes to this policy
