Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms

If you contact us for support, to give feedback or to report a problem or concern (regardless of whether you have created an account), we collect and store your contact information, your messages, and other data about you like your name, email, location, operating system, IP address, and any other data you provide or that we collect through automated means.  We use this data to respond to you and research your question or concern, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Data Collection Tools

As detailed in our Cookie Policy, Beautypert and service providers acting on our behalf (like Google Analytics and third party advertisers) use server log files and automated data collection tools like cookies, tags, scripts, customized links, device or browser fingerprints, and web beacons ( “Data Collection Tools”) when you access and use the Services.  These Data Collection Tools automatically track and collect certain System Data and Usage Data when you use the Services.  In some cases, we tie data gathered through those Data Collection Tools to other data that we collect as described in this Privacy Policy.

We use cookies for things like analyzing your use of the Site, personalizing your experience, making it easier to log into the Services, and recognizing you when you return.  We use web beacons (small objects that allow us to measure the actions of visitors and users using the Services) for things like identifying whether a page was visited, identifying whether an email was opened, and advertising more efficiently by excluding current users from certain promotional messages .

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.).  Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established.  Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile.  You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address.  The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our site.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Other Social Media Features.

Our Site includes social media features (“Features”) such as the Facebook Like button, Tweet button and other widgets or interactive mini-programs that run on our Site.  These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly.  These Features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site.  Your interactions with these Features are governed by the terms of use and Privacy Policy of the company providing them (e.g., Facebook or Twitter).

Third Party Sites

When you click on a link to any other website or location, you will leave our Site and go to another site and another entity may collect Personal Information.  We have no control over, do not review, and cannot be responsible for, these outside websites or their content.  Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of data after you click on links to such outside websites.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic on our website.  Google has their own Privacy Policy which you can review here.  If you’d like to opt out of tracking by Google Analytics, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page.

We share certain data about you with companies performing services for us, our business partners, analytics and data enrichment providers, your social media providers, companies helping us run promotions and surveys, and advertising companies who help us promote our Services.  We may also share your data as needed for security, legal compliance.

We also share your data with third-party companies who perform services on our behalf, like payment processing, data analysis, marketing and advertising services (including retargeted advertising), email and hosting services, and customer services and support.  These service providers may access your personal data and are required to use it solely as we direct, to provide our requested service.

As part of our use of third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics, we share certain contact information, Account Data, System Data, Usage Data, or de-identified data as needed. De-identified data means data where we’ve removed things like your name and email address and replaced it with a token ID. This allows these providers to provide analytics services or match your data with publicly-available database information (including contact and social information from other sources).  We do this to communicate with you in a more effective and customized manner.

The social media features in the Services (like the Facebook Like button) may allow the third-party social media provider to collect things like your IP address and which page of the Services you’re visiting, and to set a cookie to enable the feature.  Your interactions with these features are governed by the third-party company’s privacy policy.

If we decide to offer advertising in the future, we may use and share certain System Data and Usage Data with third-party advertisers and networks to show general demographic and preference information among our users.  We may also allow advertisers to collect System Data through Data Collection Tools and to use this data to offer you targeted ad delivery to personalize your user experience and undertake web analytics.  Advertisers may also share with us the data they collect about you.

With your consent, we may share data to third parties outside the scope of this Privacy Policy.

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How long we retain your data
