MarriageScience (“MarriageScience”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use marriagescience.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Who We Are
MarriageScience is an independent publisher of relationship, dating, and marriage content, including guides, statistics roundups, and product reviews. For any privacy question, you can reach us at [email protected].
This Site is intended for adults and is not directed at children. See “Children’s Privacy” below.
Information We Collect
We collect a limited amount of information, in three broad categories:
- Technical data. Such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, and general location at the country or city level.
- Usage data. Such as the pages you view, the links you click, how you arrived at the Site, and how long you stay.
- Information you give us. Such as your email address if you subscribe to a newsletter, or the details you include when you contact us.
We do not ask for sensitive personal information, and we do not knowingly collect more than we need.
How We Collect It
- Directly from you, when you email us or sign up for updates.
- Automatically, through cookies and similar technologies as you browse.
- From third parties, such as analytics providers and affiliate networks that report aggregated activity to us.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
- Understand which articles and tools are useful, using aggregated analytics.
- Measure affiliate referrals so partners can credit us for commissions.
- Respond to your messages and send updates you have asked for.
- Keep the Site secure and comply with our legal obligations.
We rely on legitimate interests, your consent, or legal requirements as the basis for processing, depending on the situation.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to make the Site work, remember preferences, understand traffic, and track affiliate referrals.
We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, which set their own cookies and process data under their own terms. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
The Site contains affiliate links. When you click one, the partner or its network may set a cookie to record the referral. We may receive a commission if you take a paid action, at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
When you leave our Site through any link, the destination site has its own privacy practices. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of third-party websites.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the Site, such as hosting, analytics, email, and affiliate networks, and only as needed for those services. We may also disclose information where required by law.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to ask for a copy of your data. Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and California, among others, have specific rights under laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
International Transfers
We operate online and may process data in countries other than your own. Where information is transferred across borders, we take steps to ensure it receives an appropriate level of protection.
Marketing and Email
If you subscribe to updates, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us. We will not use your email address for unrelated unsolicited messages.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for users aged 18 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes may be announced on the Site.
