Information we may collect
PowderedPurple is an editorial and affiliate website. We do not process payments or fulfil orders. Depending on the features enabled, we may collect:
- Information you choose to send, such as your name, email address or message if you contact us.
- Basic technical information, such as pages visited, device/browser type, approximate location, referring page and timestamps, through hosting logs or analytics tools.
- Cookie or affiliate-tracking information used to measure referrals, remember preferences or understand site performance.
How we use information
We use information to operate the website, respond to messages, improve content, measure performance, prevent abuse, maintain security, and understand which product or tutorial pages are useful.
Affiliate links and external retailers
When you click a retailer or affiliate link, you leave PowderedPurple and visit a third-party site. That retailer or affiliate network may collect information under its own privacy policy, including information needed to attribute a referral or purchase. PowderedPurple does not control the retailer's checkout, payment processing, delivery, returns or account systems.
Cookies and analytics
The website may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, affiliate attribution and basic site functionality. You can adjust cookie settings in your browser. If a consent banner or preference tool is added, your choices should be respected by the tools covered by that banner.
Sharing information
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help run the website, analytics providers, affiliate networks, hosting providers, security tools, or when required by law.
Retention and security
We keep information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, unless a longer period is required for legal, security or operational reasons. We use reasonable safeguards, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your choices
You may choose not to use affiliate links, block cookies in your browser, or contact us to ask about personal information you have provided directly. South African visitors may also have rights under POPIA, including the ability to lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator if personal information is processed unlawfully.
Children
PowderedPurple is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the website, analytics setup, affiliate partners or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted on this page.
