This Privacy Policy explains how ModernHairRecovery (“ModernHairRecovery,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Salim Wardini Meddah, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit modernhairrecovery.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
ModernHairRecovery is an independent educational resource about hair loss. We do not sell physical products directly, process orders, or handle payments — the Site provides informational content and, where relevant, links to third-party products and services.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Voluntarily
When you use our Contact form or leave a comment on an article, we may collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Any message or content you choose to submit
We only use this information to respond to you and to maintain a record of correspondence.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and similar tracking technologies, including:
- IP address (used, among other things, to determine your approximate geographic location for consent and content purposes)
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
- General usage and interaction data
This information is collected primarily through Google Site Kit / Google Analytics and the advertising and consent technologies described below.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function properly and understand how visitors use them. When you first visit the Site, you are shown a consent banner allowing you to accept, decline, or customize which categories of cookies are used:
- Functional — necessary for the Site to operate correctly (e.g., remembering your cookie preferences). These cannot be disabled.
- Preferences — remember choices you make (such as language) to improve your experience.
- Statistics — help us understand how visitors interact with the Site through anonymized or aggregated analytics data.
- Marketing — used by us and by third-party advertising partners to deliver relevant ads and measure their performance.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the “Manage Consent” option available at the bottom of the Site.
3. Advertising and Google AdSense
ModernHairRecovery uses, or intends to use, Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks to display ads on the Site. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also review how Google uses data from partner sites at Google’s Partner Sites policy.
- Where applicable, additional advertising and measurement vendors operating on the Site are disclosed and can be individually managed through our cookie consent tool (“Manage Consent” → “Manage vendors”).
We do not control the cookies placed by third-party advertisers, and this Privacy Policy does not cover their use of your information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party ad networks for more information on their practices and how to opt out.
4. Affiliate Links
Some articles on ModernHairRecovery contain affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This does not influence the content, opinions, or product evaluations published on the Site, which remain based on our editorial standards and available evidence. Affiliate partners may set their own cookies once you leave our Site; we are not responsible for their privacy practices.
5. Analytics
We use Google Site Kit (which may include Google Analytics and Google Search Console) to understand how visitors use the Site, identify popular content, and improve the user experience. These tools collect data such as pages visited, session duration, and general audience demographics in aggregated or pseudonymized form. You can prevent this data collection by disabling “Statistics” cookies through our consent tool or by using your browser’s tracking-prevention settings.
6. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to inquiries submitted through our Contact form
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
- Understand which articles and topics are most useful to our readers
- Display relevant advertising and measure its performance
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or misuse of the Site
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not send marketing emails unless you have explicitly subscribed to receive them, and you may unsubscribe at any time.
7. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We may share limited information with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., hosting provider, form-processing tools, analytics providers), under obligations to protect your data
- Advertising partners, as described in Section 3, subject to your cookie consent choices
- Legal authorities, where required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your consent.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, such as responding to your inquiry, or as required by applicable law. Analytics data is generally retained in aggregated or anonymized form and is not used to identify you individually.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
