Beauty License Guide (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website beautylicenseguide.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: If you contact us through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry.
Information collected automatically: When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic location (city/region level, not precise location). This information is collected through the analytics and cookie management tools described below.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, time on site, and traffic sources. This data helps us understand which content is most useful and how to improve the site. Google Analytics may transfer data to servers in the United States. Google’s privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on this site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the site function properly and allow us to analyze usage patterns.
Types of cookies we use:
Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data as described above.
Preference cookies: Remember your choices, such as cookie consent preferences.
We use CookiePro (OneTrust) to manage cookie consent on this site. When you first visit, a cookie consent banner will appear allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the site footer.
Affiliate Links and Advertising
This site may contain affiliate links to third-party products and services. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not influence the accuracy of our licensing information — all requirements, fees, and regulatory details are researched from official state sources regardless of any commercial relationship.
We may also display advertising on this site in the future. If and when we add advertising, this policy will be updated to reflect the specific advertising partners and data practices involved.
Third-Party Links
Our state licensing guides contain links to official government websites, state licensing boards, exam administrators, and other third-party resources. These sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, after which they are deleted. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics’ default retention settings (currently 26 months).
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your information. California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
