Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

This privacy policy explains what information Stylifyo collects when you visit stylifyo.com, how we use it, who we share it with and the choices you have. Stylifyo is owned and run by an independent publisher based in the United States. If you have any questions, email us at contact@stylifyo.com.

The short version

You can read every guide on Stylifyo without creating an account or giving us your name.
If you email us, use our contact form or leave a comment, we receive the details you choose to share.
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, and we plan to show ads through Google AdSense. Both use cookies.
We don’t sell your personal information for money. Some privacy laws may treat advertising cookies as a “sale” or “sharing” of data, and you can opt out.
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your information at any time.

Information we collect

Information you give us

Emails and contact form messages: your name, email address and anything you write in your message.
Comments: when you leave a comment, WordPress collects the name, email address and website (optional) you enter, your comment, your IP address and your browser’s user agent string. The IP address and browser details help us detect spam.
Profile pictures: if avatars are shown with comments, a scrambled string created from your email address (called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. If you have a Gravatar profile linked to that email, your profile picture is shown next to your approved comment.

Your comment and name are shown publicly once the comment is approved. Your email address is never shown publicly.

Information collected automatically

Server logs: like almost every website, our web host records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the page you requested, the referring page and the date and time. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix errors.
Analytics data: Google Analytics collects information about how you use the site, such as the pages you view, how long you stay, the device and browser you use, and your approximate location (country or city level).
Cookies and similar technologies: small files or stored data used by WordPress, Google Analytics and, when ads are live, Google AdSense. See the cookies section below.

We don’t ask for sensitive information, such as health, financial or government ID details. Please don’t include it in messages or comments.

How we use information

To read and reply to your messages and handle correction, privacy or copyright requests.
To publish and moderate comments, and to block spam.
To understand which guides are useful, so we can improve and update them.
To keep the site secure and working properly.
To show advertising that helps keep Stylifyo free to read.
To meet legal obligations.

For visitors in the EEA and UK, our legal bases are: your consent (for analytics and advertising cookies, where consent is required), our legitimate interests (running a secure website, replying to messages, moderating comments) and legal obligations.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work, and others help measure use of the site or show ads.

Type	Set by	What it does
Comment cookies	WordPress (Stylifyo)	If you choose to save your details when commenting, remembers your name, email and website so you don’t have to retype them. These last for one year.
Preference and security	WordPress, our theme and our host	May remember display settings and help protect the site from abuse.
Analytics	Google Analytics	Counts visits and measures how pages are used. Cookie names usually begin with “_ga”.
Advertising	Google AdSense and its certified partners	When ads are live, used to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure them and prevent fraud. Where allowed, also used to personalize ads.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some features, such as saved comment details, may not work. We use a cookie consent tool. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before non-essential cookies, such as analytics and advertising cookies, are used, and you can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link or button on the site.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We plan to show ads on Stylifyo through Google AdSense. When ads are live:

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info, or, in Europe, at youronlinechoices.eu.
Google may allow other certified ad networks to serve ads through AdSense. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland will be able to see and control these vendors in the consent message shown on the site, and anyone can use the opt-out links above.

If you opt out of personalized ads, you’ll still see ads, but they’ll be based on things like the page you’re reading rather than your interests. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies for purposes such as limiting how often an ad is shown and preventing fraud.

To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Advertisers never influence what we write.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to see how visitors find and use Stylifyo, for example which guides are read most. Google processes this data on our behalf. Google Analytics gives your browser a random identifier; it doesn’t give us your name or email address, but it isn’t fully anonymous either.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser.

We also use Google Search Console, which shows us how the site appears in Google Search results. It doesn’t place cookies on your device when you visit our site.

Your choices by region

EEA, UK and Switzerland: our consent tool lets you accept or refuse non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, before they’re used. You can change your choice at any time.
United States: depending on the state you live in, you may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of targeted advertising. Where required, the site shows a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or a similar choice, and you can also email us.
Canada: by using the site, you consent to the collection and use described here. You can withdraw consent for analytics and advertising cookies at any time through your browser settings, the opt-out links above, or by contacting us.

How we share information

We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, and only as needed:

our web hosting provider, which stores the site and its server logs
our email provider, which handles messages sent to contact@stylifyo.com
Google, for analytics and, when ads are live, advertising
anti-spam and security services that check comments and protect the site

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a sale or transfer of the website. We don’t sell your personal information for money. Under some U.S. state laws, allowing advertising cookies on a website can count as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, which is why we offer the opt-out choices described above.

How long we keep information

Messages: kept only as long as we need them to handle your request, then deleted.
Comments: approved comments and their details are kept indefinitely, until you ask us to delete them or we remove the comment, so that follow-up comments from you can be recognized and approved automatically.
Analytics data: kept for up to 14 months, the retention period set in our Google Analytics account, after which Google deletes it.
Server logs: kept by our host for a limited time for security and troubleshooting.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

know what personal information we hold about you and get a copy of it
correct information that’s wrong
ask us to delete your information
opt out of the sale or sharing of your information and of targeted advertising
withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting anything done before
object to or restrict how we use your information (EEA and UK)

To make a request, email contact@stylifyo.com with “Privacy request” in the subject line. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it, and we’ll respond within the time required by law.

You won’t be treated differently for using your rights. If we decline your request, you can ask us to reconsider by replying to our answer. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, or your state attorney general in the U.S.

International data transfers

Stylifyo is run from the United States, and our service providers, including Google, may process information in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires it, these providers use recognized safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect information transferred from the EEA, UK or Switzerland.

Children’s privacy

Stylifyo is written for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA and UK. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we’ll delete it.

Security

The site uses HTTPS encryption, and we limit who can access site data. No website can guarantee complete security, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold.

Links to other websites

Our guides link to other websites, such as health organizations and official sources. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we’re not responsible for how they handle your information. If a page on Stylifyo includes embedded content from another site, such as a video, that content behaves as if you visited the other site directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our tools, the law or the way we run the site changes. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For major changes, we may also add a notice on the site.
