Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information Cassidy Gelacio, doing business as The Afterglow House ("we", "us" or "our"), collects through theafterglowhouse.com (the "Site") and how that information is used.
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are posted on this page, and the date above will reflect the latest version. Continuing to use the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
2. Adult users only
The Site is intended for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has shared information with us, contact us and we will delete it.
3. External links
The Site links to third-party websites and platforms, including Instagram and TikTok. We aren't responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their policies before sharing information with them.
4. Information we collect automatically
Like most websites, the Site automatically records certain technical information in log files when you visit. This may include your IP address, browser and device type, internet provider, operating system, referring and exit pages, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you view.
We use this information to understand trends, run and improve the Site, and learn how visitors use it as a whole. We do not use it to identify you personally, and it is kept only as long as needed.
5. How we use and share information
We use the information described above to operate and improve the Site, measure interest in our services, and understand how our advertising performs.
Service providers. We may share information with trusted providers that help us run the Site, such as our hosting provider (Netlify) and the analytics and advertising platforms listed below.
Aggregate data. We may share anonymous, aggregated traffic information that cannot identify you.
Legal and business reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a merger, sale or other business transfer.
We do not sell your personal information or share it with third parties for their own direct marketing.
6. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the Site work and help us understand how it is used. We and our advertising partners also use cookies to show our ads to people who have visited the Site (known as retargeting).
You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. Check your browser's "Help" section to find out how. Some features of the Site may not work properly if cookies are blocked.
7. Analytics & advertising pixels
Google Analytics. Google places cookies to help us understand how visitors use the Site. Google stores this information on its own servers and uses it to compile activity reports for us. You can opt out with the
Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Meta Pixel. Meta Platforms, Inc. lets us measure what visitors do after clicking one of our ads on Facebook or Instagram, and lets us show ads to past visitors. Meta may connect this data to your account and use it for its own advertising. You can manage this in your
Meta ad preferences.
TikTok Pixel. TikTok works the same way for our ads on TikTok, measuring results and helping us reach people who have visited the Site. You can manage this in your
TikTok settings.
You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies at
aboutads.info.
8. Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information from loss, misuse and alteration, including password-protected and encrypted devices and limiting access to people who need it. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Do Not Track & California rights
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common standard for how to respond to these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them. California residents may request details about the personal information we hold and ask us to correct or delete it. You can also opt out of targeted advertising using the tools in section 7.
10. Visiting from outside the United States
The Site is operated from the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may be different from those where you live.
11. Your rights & contacting us
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of information we hold about you, or to object to it being used. To make a request, or if you have any questions about this policy, email
cassidy@theafterglowhouse.com.
