Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 July 2026

Florence and Mary (florenceandmary.co) is a beauty and lifestyle blog featuring reviews, favourites, travel notes, and everyday recommendations. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Who we are

This website is operated as Florence and Mary on florenceandmary.co. For privacy questions, contact haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Usage data — pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device type, and referral URLs.
Cookies and similar technologies — small files or storage entries used for site function, analytics, and advertising where enabled.
Communications — if you email us, we receive the address and content you send.

Advertising and third-party vendors

Florence and Mary may display advertising to help fund the blog. Advertising technology partners (for example Google advertising products) may set or read cookies and similar identifiers to show and measure ads, limit repetition, detect fraud, and — where permitted — personalise ads. Those partners process data under their own privacy policies.

Where required by law, non-essential advertising or analytics cookies are used only with your consent or as otherwise allowed.

How we use information

to operate, secure, and improve florenceandmary.co;
to remember preferences where applicable;
to display and measure advertising where used;
to respond when you contact us.

Legal bases (EU/UK)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on consent for non-essential cookies and ad personalisation where used, and on legitimate interests or necessity for operating the site, security, and responding to messages — balanced against your rights.

Sharing

We share data with service providers and advertising or analytics vendors that process it on our behalf or as independent controllers. We do not sell your postal address or a subscriber email list.

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Cookie lifetimes vary by vendor.

Your rights

EU/UK: you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, or port your data, and to withdraw consent. You may complain to your local supervisory authority.

California / similar US laws: you may have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of certain “sale” or “sharing” of personal information used for cross-context behavioural advertising. Contact haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 16 (or the age required in your region). We do not knowingly collect their personal information.

International transfers

Vendors such as Google may process data in the United States or other countries. Where required, appropriate transfer safeguards are expected of those vendors.

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy where permitted by law.
