Silver Jewelry Guide (“we,” “us,” or “the site”) is an editorial website at silverjewelryguide.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use the contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you enter. We use it only to reply to you and to act on corrections or suggestions. If you subscribe to email updates, we receive your email address and use it to send you new guides; every email includes an unsubscribe link.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the site records basic technical information when pages are requested, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view, and the site that referred you. We use aggregated site statistics to understand which guides are useful and to keep the site secure. These statistics are not used to identify individual visitors.
Hosting, cookies, and analytics
The site is hosted on WordPress.com, a service operated by Automattic Inc. WordPress.com and its Jetpack features set cookies and collect visitor statistics on our behalf, and they process that data in line with Automattic’s privacy policy and cookie policy. Cookies may be used to remember preferences, to measure traffic, and, if advertising is displayed, to serve and measure ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, although some features may not.
Advertising and affiliate links
Some links on the site may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you make a purchase after clicking them. The retailer may set its own cookies when you arrive on its site; those cookies are governed by the retailer’s privacy policy, not ours. If advertising is displayed on the site, the advertising provider may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant ads and measure their performance. See our editorial policy for how affiliate relationships affect (and don’t affect) our content.
Embedded content and external links
Guides may embed content from other sites (for example, a video) or link to other websites. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other site directly, and that site may collect data about you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.
How long we keep information
Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to respond and resolve the request. Email subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Aggregated statistics are kept indefinitely because they do not identify individuals.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by using the contact page. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act or the EU General Data Protection Regulation; we honor such requests regardless of where you live. We do not sell personal information.
Children
The site is intended for adults and does 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 changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be noted on this page.
