Who We Are
Hair and Grace (hairandgrace.com) is a hairstyle and hair color inspiration website for women over 40, 50 and 60. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, contact us at contact@hairandgrace.com.
Information We Collect
- Information you give us — if you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, your email address, and the message you send.
- Log and device data — like almost every website, our servers automatically record your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. This is used to keep the site secure and running.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device that help the site function, remember preferences, measure traffic and (in future) serve advertising. See the Cookies section below.
We do not offer public user accounts on this site, and we do not collect or store account passwords, payment details or comment data from visitors.
How We Use Your Information
- To operate, secure and improve the website.
- To reply to messages you send us.
- To understand, in aggregate, which articles readers find useful so we can publish more of them.
- To display advertising that supports the site (see Advertising below).
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies:
- Essential cookies — required for the site and its security features to work.
- Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to measure visits and page views (see Analytics below).
- Advertising cookies — set by our advertising partners to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted (see Advertising below).
Your consent: Where required by law – including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland – analytics and advertising cookies are loaded only after you give consent through the cookie notice shown on this site, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies will not stop you from reading the site, though some measurement and ad personalization will stop working.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics (provided through Google Site Kit) to understand how readers use Hair and Grace. We use analytics primarily in aggregate to understand site usage — for example, which galleries are read most and which countries readers visit from — so we can improve the site. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time on page, device and approximate location, using cookies and similar identifiers, in line with Google’s Privacy Policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
Hair and Grace is supported by display advertising. Ads are served by third-party advertising partners, currently Google AdSense. We may work with additional advertising partners in the future; this policy will be updated if that changes. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites, and advertising partners and other third parties may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons and similar identifiers, to collect information as a result of ad serving on this site. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google’s partner sites policy.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info/choices. We do not control the ads shown to each visitor and advertising never influences which hairstyles our editor chooses to feature.
Third-Party Services
- Google Analytics / Site Kit — traffic measurement (see Analytics).
- Advertising partners — Google AdSense and, in future, additional advertising partners (see Advertising).
- Spam protection — our contact form uses built-in anti-spam checks to block automated abuse; form submissions are processed on our own server.
- Hosting — the site is hosted on a private server; server logs described above are stored there.
- Embedded content — pages may occasionally embed content from other platforms (for example, a video). Embedded content behaves as if you visited that platform directly, and that platform may set its own cookies.
How Long We Keep Your Data
Contact-form and email messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and maintain a reasonable record of the conversation. Server logs are rotated regularly and are not kept indefinitely. Analytics data is retained in Google Analytics in line with its standard retention settings.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your information, including messages you sent us.
- Opt out of personalized advertising and analytics cookies, using the links and browser settings described above.
We do not sell personal information for money. Certain advertising activities may be considered “sharing” under some privacy laws; where applicable, you may opt out using the advertising choices described above.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page — we respond to privacy requests promptly.
Children’s Privacy
Hair and Grace is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the site grows — for example, when a new advertising or analytics partner is added. The current version will always be on this page, with the “Last updated” date at the top.
