This policy explains what data shehanly.com collects, why, and what control you have over it.
Who We Are
Shehanly (“we”, “us”) operates the website at shehanly.com. For any privacy question, or to exercise the rights described below, contact us through our contact page.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. If you send a message through our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message content you provide. We use it only to reply to you and to keep a record of corrections.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics record technical data when you visit: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and time of visit. This is used for security, troubleshooting and understanding which articles are useful.
Cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We and our partners use them for essential site functions, for measuring traffic, and for advertising.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site is monetised with third-party display advertising, including Google AdSense.
- 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 personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or the NAI opt-out page.
- Third-party ad networks may also collect data through web beacons and pixels. We do not control those technologies and their use is governed by the vendor’s own privacy policy.
Google’s handling of data across its advertising products is described in the Google Privacy & Terms page.
Analytics
We use website analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are read, how visitors arrive, and where they leave. Analytics cookies collect usage data in a form that we do not use to identify individuals. You can block these cookies through your browser settings or our consent banner without losing access to any content.
Affiliate Links
Some outbound links are affiliate links. When you click one, the destination merchant may set a cookie to attribute a subsequent purchase to us. We do not receive your payment details or any personally identifying purchase information — only aggregate commission reporting.
Legal Bases for Processing (EEA and UK visitors)
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on these bases: consent for advertising, analytics and other non-essential cookies; legitimate interests for site security, fraud prevention and basic server logging; and performance of a request when you contact us and we reply.
Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it at any time through the cookie preferences control on this site, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to restrict or object to its processing, to receive it in a portable format, and to withdraw consent.
California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to know what categories of personal information are collected and disclosed, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of personalised advertising, use the ad settings links above or the cookie preferences control on this site.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. To make a request, use our contact page. We may need to verify your identity before we act.
Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting correction, and are then deleted. Server logs are retained on a short rolling basis for security purposes. Data held by advertising and analytics vendors is retained according to their own published policies.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers necessary to run the site — our hosting provider, our advertising partners, and our analytics provider — and where we are legally required to disclose it.
International Transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS and protected by a web application firewall and malware scanning. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Every major browser lets you view, block and delete cookies through its settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of this or other sites behave. Instructions are available in the help documentation for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or in the services we use. The effective date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the site.
