01Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how MenCraftCo (“MenCraftCo,” “we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses, shares and protects personal information when you visit mencraftco.com (the “Site”), subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.

MenCraftCo is an independent men’s style publication. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at shehrozimran98@gmail.com or through our contact form.

By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

02Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact form: your first name, email address, optional phone number and the content of your message.
• Newsletter: your email address and, if you provide it, your name.
• Emails you send us: your email address and anything included in your message.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, time spent on pages, approximate location (city or country level) and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected using cookies and similar technologies, described below.

We do not ask for sensitive personal information, and the Site does not currently offer comments, user accounts or giveaways.

03How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Operate, maintain and improve the Site and our content
• Respond to your messages, questions, corrections and partnership inquiries
• Send our newsletter if you subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time)
• Understand how readers use the Site through analytics
• Show advertising and measure its performance
• Track purchases made through affiliate links so we can earn commissions
• Protect the Site against spam, fraud and security issues, and comply with legal obligations

04Cookies and tracking technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies to make the Site work, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, deliver and measure ads, and attribute affiliate sales.

• Essential cookies help the Site load and function properly.
• Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site.
• Advertising cookies are used by ad partners to show relevant ads, limit how often you see an ad and measure results.
• Affiliate cookies record when you click an affiliate link so the retailer can credit us for a purchase.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works. Learn more in our Cookie Policy.

05Advertising

MenCraftCo is free to read and is supported by advertising. We may work with third-party advertising companies and ad networks, including Google, to display ads on the Site. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites, such as your IP address, browser type and pages viewed, in order to provide ads about goods and services that may interest you and to measure ad performance.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

When we join an advertising network, we will update this section with any additional information that network requires us to disclose.

06Affiliate links

Some of our guides contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or tracking links to record the referral, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These companies process data under their own privacy policies. We do not receive your payment details from these purchases.

07Service providers we use

We share limited information with trusted providers who help us run the Site. They may only use it to provide their services to us.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger or sale of the Site.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Some advertising and analytics activities may be considered “sharing” or “selling” under certain US state laws. See your rights below.

08Third-party links and embedded content

Our guides may link to retailers and other websites, and may include embedded content such as Pinterest pins or videos. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, so please review their policies.

09How long we keep information

• Contact messages: kept as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping, then deleted.
• Newsletter data: kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
• Analytics data: kept according to our Google Analytics data-retention settings.
• Server and security logs: kept for a limited period for security and performance purposes.

10Data security and international transfers

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including a secure (HTTPS) connection. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, these transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

11Your rights (EU, UK and similar laws)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or a region with similar laws, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Our legal bases for processing are your consent (for example, newsletter signup and non-essential cookies where required), our legitimate interests (running, securing and improving the Site and responding to messages) and legal obligations.

12Your rights (US state privacy laws)

Depending on your state (for example California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut or Utah), you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to access and delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and targeted advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: to opt out, use the advertising opt-out links above, adjust your browser’s cookie settings, or email us at shehrozimran98@gmail.com. Where required by law, we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals sent by your browser.

13How to make a privacy request

To exercise any of your rights, email shehrozimran98@gmail.com with the subject line “Privacy Request,” or use our contact form. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. To stop receiving our newsletter, click “unsubscribe” in any email.

14Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where local law requires). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

15Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add new services or advertising partners. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be posted on this page.
