This Privacy Policy explains how Safe Dating Online (“we”, “us”, or “the site”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit safe-dating-online.net.
Who we are
Safe Dating Online is an editorial website that publishes practical advice about online dating, safety, and connection. Our contact email is [email protected].
Information we collect
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard request logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security and abuse prevention. These logs are typically retained for a short period and not used to identify individual readers.
- Analytics. We may use a privacy-respecting analytics tool to understand which articles are read and how visitors arrive at the site. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors.
- Comments & contact messages. If you contact us by email or leave a comment, we will see the content of your message and whatever email address or name you provide. We do not share these messages publicly.
Cookies
This site may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary — to keep the site functioning (for example, remembering display preferences).
- Analytics — to understand usage in aggregate.
- Advertising — if and when third-party advertising is enabled (see “Advertising” below).
You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Advertising
This site may display third-party advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense and similar networks. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and 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 can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or, for more general control, aboutads.info (US) and youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you sign up for a service or buy a product through them — at no extra cost to you. We only link to products or services we believe are useful to our readers. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial judgement.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and secure the site
- To understand which content is useful so we can improve it
- To respond to questions or messages you send us
- To comply with applicable law
We do not sell personal data.
Third parties
Our site relies on third-party services for hosting, content delivery, analytics, and (where enabled) advertising. Those providers have their own privacy policies. They may receive some technical information (such as IP address and user agent) when you request pages or resources.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA (California) to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you. To make such a request, email us at [email protected].
Children
This site is not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect information from, children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction).
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
