Privacy Policy

At Sweetaniversary, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit sweetaniversary.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. The site is a free-to-read collection of anniversary wishes, messages and quotes, and emoji meanings and combinations.

Information we collect

We collect only limited information. If you contact us by email, we receive the details you choose to include in your message, such as your name, email address and the contents of your message, so that we can reply. We do not ask you to create an account to read our articles, and we do not collect payment information, as we do not sell anything on this site.

When you visit the site, some technical information may be collected automatically, such as the pages you view, the type of device and browser you use, and general location information derived from your IP address. This information is used in aggregated form to understand which content is helpful and to keep the site working well.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics, connected through Site Kit, to measure visits and understand how readers use the site. Google Analytics may set cookies on your device and collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and the device and browser used. This information is processed in aggregated form and does not identify you by name. You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies, although some parts of the site may work less well if cookies are disabled.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the site, to respond to messages you send us, to understand which articles readers find useful, and to protect the site from spam and misuse.

Sharing information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, such as Google Analytics as described above, and only where necessary for those services to work. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of the site and its visitors.

Links to other sites

Our articles may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies when you visit them.

Data retention and security

Messages sent to us are kept only for as long as needed to respond and to deal with any follow-up. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form for as long as it remains useful for understanding site use. We take reasonable steps to protect information from unauthorised access, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.

Your choices

You may choose not to send us personal information by email. You can manage cookies in your browser, and you can use your browser or device settings to limit tracking where available. If you have contacted us and would like us to delete your message, please let us know using the contact details below.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site or to the services we use. The updated policy will be published on this page.
