Privacy Policy

Last updated 3 October 2026.

This policy explains what PrettyMe.ph collects when you read it or write to us, why, and who else is involved. We keep it short because we collect very little.

What we collect

When you read the site

You do not need an account to read PrettyMe.ph, and there are no reader accounts, comments or newsletter. Like every website, our host receives the technical details your browser sends with each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page you asked for. Our host keeps these in short-lived logs to run and protect the site.

When you use the contact form

The form asks for your name, your email address and your message. We send them to our editors by email so we can reply, and we keep that email only as long as we need it to deal with what you asked. To stop automated spam, the form checks your request with Google reCAPTCHA, and we keep a one-way scrambled form of your IP address for 24 hours to limit how many messages one address can send. That scrambled form cannot be turned back into your address.

Cookies and the services we use

PrettyMe.ph itself sets no cookies for readers. The services below may set their own cookies or similar storage when their part of the page loads:

  • Google Analytics counts visits and shows us which articles are read, so we know what to write next. It sees a shortened form of your IP address and information about your device and visit.
  • Google AdSense shows the advertising that pays for the site. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalised advertising at Google's Ad Settings, and read how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
  • Google reCAPTCHA runs on the contact page only, as described above.
  • Google Fonts serves the typefaces the site is set in, so your browser asks Google for them.
  • YouTube videos inside articles use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, which does not store information about you until you play a video.
  • Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, PrettyMe.ph earns from qualifying purchases. When you follow one of our links to Amazon, Amazon may set a cookie that tells it the visit came from us. What happens on Amazon is covered by Amazon's own privacy notice.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The articles still work without them.

Who sees your information

We do not sell your information. Besides our editors, the only parties involved are the services named above and the company that hosts the site, each for the purpose described. Some of them process information outside the Philippines.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. If you are in the Philippines, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 gives you these rights and more; readers elsewhere may have similar rights under their own laws. Write to us through the contact page and we will reply.

Children

PrettyMe.ph is written for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If we change what we collect, we will update this page and the date at the top.
