This Privacy Policy describes how Celeb Sourced ("we," "our," "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit celebsourced.com.
We respect your privacy. Celeb Sourced is a content-only editorial site — we do not require user accounts, do not collect personal data directly, and do not sell or share data with third parties for marketing purposes.
1. Information we collect
We do not collect personal information through forms, accounts, or registrations. The only data that may be collected is technical information that is sent automatically by your browser when you visit any website:
- Server logs: Your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages viewed are recorded by our web server for security and performance monitoring. These logs are retained for up to 90 days and not linked to any personal identifier.
- Cookies: Celeb Sourced itself does not set tracking cookies. Third-party services we link to (such as Amazon) may set cookies when you click through their affiliate links. See "Third-party services" below.
- Analytics (if enabled): We may use privacy-respecting analytics such as Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization enabled. If we add analytics in the future, this policy will be updated.
2. How we use information
The limited information collected (server logs, anonymous analytics) is used solely to:
- Maintain site security and detect abuse
- Understand which content is most useful to readers
- Improve page performance and fix errors
We do not use this information for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties.
3. Third-party services
Celeb Sourced contains links to third-party websites, including affiliate links to Amazon.com (Amazon Associates Program). When you click these links:
- The third-party site (Amazon, etc.) sets its own cookies and is governed by its own privacy policy.
- If you make a purchase through an affiliate link, the third party may pay us a small commission. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
- We do not receive personal information about your purchases — only aggregated commission reports.
We embed images from public sources such as Wikimedia Commons and brand product CDNs. These sources may log image-request information per their own policies.
4. Your rights
Under privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to:
- Know what personal information (if any) we hold about you
- Request deletion of any personal data
- Opt out of any third-party tracking when present
Since we do not directly collect personal information, most of these rights are satisfied by default. For any specific request, contact us at the email listed below.
5. Children's privacy
Celeb Sourced is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If a parent or guardian believes their child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
