Privacy Policy

Overview

This privacy policy explains how Managed Models ("we," "us," or "our"), operated at managedmodels.com, handles information when you visit our website. We take your privacy seriously and aim to be transparent about what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes aggregated data such as page views, referral sources, browser type, device type, and approximate geographic region. We do not collect personally identifiable information through our analytics tools. Analytics data helps us understand which content is most useful to our readers so we can prioritize future reviews and guides.

Cookies and Local Storage

Our site may use cookies or local storage for essential functionality such as remembering your theme preference (light or dark mode). We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes. Third-party services embedded on our site (such as analytics providers) may set their own cookies in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though this may affect certain site functionality.

Information You Provide

If you contact us via email at [email protected], we will receive your email address and any information you include in your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to marketing lists without your explicit consent.

Third-Party Services

Affiliate Links

Our site contains affiliate links to third-party products and services. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may collect information about your visit, including that you arrived from managedmodels.com. Each third-party site has its own privacy policy governing how it handles your data. We encourage you to review those policies before providing any personal information. Affiliate partnerships do not give us access to your data on those platforms.

Analytics Providers

We use third-party analytics services to measure site traffic and usage patterns. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes. We select analytics tools that prioritize user privacy and minimize data collection.

Hosting and Infrastructure

Our website is hosted on third-party infrastructure providers. These providers may log standard server information such as IP addresses, request timestamps, and HTTP headers as part of normal operations. This data is used for security monitoring and is retained according to the hosting provider's data retention policies.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to operate and improve our website, understand which content is most valuable to our readers, respond to inquiries you send us, monitor site performance and security, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, object to or restrict processing of your data, and request a portable copy of your data. Since we collect minimal personal data, most of these rights apply primarily to any email correspondence you have sent us. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address listed below.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained in aggregated, non-identifiable form. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for our records, unless you request deletion. We periodically review retained data and delete information that is no longer needed.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
