This privacy policy explains how HerDaily (“we”, “us” and “our”), the website at herdaily.net, collects, uses and protects information when you visit the site, read our guides or contact us. We want you to understand what happens with your information in plain words, so we have kept this page as clear as we can. By using HerDaily you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We collect only what we need to run the site, answer our readers and keep HerDaily free to read. The information falls into three groups.
- Information you give us: when you write to us through the contact form or by email, we receive your name, your email address, your message and anything else you choose to include.
- Information collected automatically: when you visit, our systems and our partners may record technical details such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, language, the pages you view, the website that referred you and the date and time of your visit.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files or identifiers stored on your device that help the site work, help us understand how it is used and, where advertising is shown, help our advertising partners show and measure ads.
How we use your information
- to read and reply to your messages and requests;
- to run, secure and protect the site, including preventing spam and abuse;
- to understand which guides are useful and how visitors move around the site, so we can improve our content;
- to show advertising that helps cover the cost of running HerDaily;
- to meet legal obligations and to respond to valid legal requests.
Messages sent through our contact form
When you send a message through the contact form, it is stored in our website database and forwarded to our email so that we can reply. We use it only to deal with your message, we do not sell it, and we keep it only as long as we need it for that purpose or as the law requires. Please do not include sensitive personal details, such as health records, identity numbers or payment information, in your message.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us measure visits and understand which pages readers enjoy, and some are placed by advertising partners. We measure basic site activity such as page views and referring websites, and we may use third-party analytics services as well.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete them, and some let you browse privately. Please note that blocking all cookies may stop parts of a website from working as expected.
Advertising and third-party services
HerDaily may display ads served by third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense or Adsterra. These companies may use cookies, device identifiers and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them and measure how well they work. They may use information about your visits to this and other websites to show ads that are more relevant to you. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we do not control how they collect or use information.
If you prefer not to see personalized ads, you can opt out in several ways:
- change your ad preferences at Google Ads Settings;
- use the opt-out tools of the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative;
- if you are in Europe, visit Your Online Choices.
Some pages also link to or share content with social platforms such as Pinterest. When you click those links or use their buttons, the platform may collect information as described in its own privacy policy.
How we share information
We do not sell the messages you send us. We may share information in these limited situations:
- with service providers that help us run the site, for example web hosting and email, who may only use the information to provide those services;
- with analytics and advertising partners, as described above;
- when the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our readers and the security of the site;
- if HerDaily is ever transferred to a new owner, in which case the information would be handled under this policy or a policy with equal protection.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes in this policy, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. Messages that no longer need an answer are deleted from time to time. Analytics data is kept in a summarized form for as long as it helps us understand how the site is used.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, including access controls and regular updates to our website software. No method of storing or sending information over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask whether we hold personal information about you, to ask for a copy, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or limit certain uses, and to withdraw your consent where we rely on it. This includes rights under laws such as the European and United Kingdom data protection rules and the California Consumer Privacy Act. To make a request, write to us at burtonesken@gmail.com and tell us what you would like us to do. We may need to confirm who you are before we act, and we will reply within the time the law requires.
International visitors
HerDaily can be read from anywhere in the world. Our service providers and advertising partners may process information in countries other than your own. When we share information with them, we expect them to protect it appropriately.
Children’s privacy
HerDaily is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. 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.
Links to other websites
Our guides sometimes link to other websites, including shops and brands. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites, so please read their policies before sharing any information. Our disclosure explains how advertising and affiliate links work on HerDaily.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example when we add a new feature or when the law changes. The latest version is always available on this page. If we make a significant change, we will make that clear on the site.
