Privacy Policy
Last updated
We try to collect as little information as possible. This policy explains what The Gilded Skin (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit thegildedskin.com, why, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
When you browse
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically processes technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, in order to deliver the site, keep it secure and diagnose problems. We do not use this information to identify you.
When you contact us
If you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and message. We use them only to reply and keep a record of the conversation. We don’t add you to any mailing list.
Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage, such as which guides are read and which outbound links are clicked. We configure it without advertising features, and we never send names, email addresses or other personal details to analytics. You can change your choice at any time on our cookie policy page.
Affiliate links and third-party sites
When you click an affiliate link — for example to Amazon — you leave our site. Amazon may use cookies to attribute a qualifying purchase to our account, under Amazon’s own privacy notice. The same applies to other sites we link to, such as Pinterest when you use a “Save” link. We don’t control and aren’t responsible for their practices.
How we use information
- To operate, secure and improve the site.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To understand, in aggregate, which content is useful (only with consent, where analytics is enabled).
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.
Retention
We keep messages only as long as needed to respond and maintain reasonable records, then delete them.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us.
Children
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
We will update this page if our practices change, and revise the date at the top.
