Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Some cookies are necessary for Site functionality, while others may be used for analytics, advertising, or other purposes.

You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through consent or privacy controls provided on the Site.

Google Analytics may collect information such as browser and device information, approximate geographic location, session information, Site interactions, and identifiers used to distinguish users or sessions.

The information collected through Google Analytics helps us understand how the Site is used and improve its content, performance, and visitor experience.

ADVERTISING AND GOOGLE ADSENSE

Third-party advertising providers, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other technologies to serve, measure, personalize, and evaluate advertising.

When you click an affiliate link, the applicable third party may use cookies or other tracking technologies to determine whether a purchase or other qualifying activity resulted from the referral.

Affiliate relationships and other material commercial relationships are disclosed where appropriate.

EDITORIAL SUBMISSIONS

Publishers, publicists, brands, artists, cultural organizations, and other parties may provide information and materials for independent editorial consideration.

Information submitted to editorial@perfectionistwannabe.com or otherwise provided for editorial consideration may be retained as reasonably necessary to evaluate submissions, maintain editorial records, communicate regarding potential coverage, and administer PW’s editorial activities.

Submitting material for editorial consideration does not guarantee coverage, placement, or response.

EMAIL AND PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

When you contact PW or Michelle Kenneth Media by email, we may retain your email address, correspondence, attachments, and other information included in the communication as reasonably necessary for editorial, professional, administrative, legal, or recordkeeping purposes.

Please do not send sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for the purpose of your communication.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, retailers, publishers, social media platforms, affiliate partners, booking services, or other external services.

PW does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

When you leave the Site or interact with a third-party service, that third party’s privacy policy and terms may apply. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.

EMBEDDED CONTENT

Articles on the Site may include embedded content such as videos, images, social media posts, or other material provided by third-party services.

Embedded content may behave in substantially the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly. Those services may collect information, use cookies or similar technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content according to their own policies.

If comments are enabled on the Site, information entered into the comment form, along with certain technical information used for spam detection, security, and Site functionality, may be collected and processed.

If avatar functionality is enabled, information associated with the email address used for a comment may be processed by an avatar service to determine whether an associated profile image exists.

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

We may share information with service providers and other third parties that perform functions supporting the Site or our operations, including hosting, analytics, advertising, security, email, technical services, and professional services.

We may disclose or transfer information as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or similar business transaction involving PW or Michelle Kenneth Media.

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging personal information directly for money. Certain advertising or analytics activities, however, may be treated as “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws and may be subject to applicable consumer rights.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
