Overview
Short version: We collect basic analytics data and use affiliate links to Amazon. We don't sell your data. We don't build personal profiles. We don't send marketing emails unless you opt in. That's it.
My Beauty Centre ("we," "our," "us") operates mybeautycentre.com, a beauty product review and affiliate website. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit, how we use it, and your rights over it.
We operate affiliate accounts with Amazon Associates across 13 marketplaces. When you click a product link and make a purchase, Amazon shares a small commission with us. Amazon handles all payments and transactions — we never see your payment details.
What we collect
Analytics data
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use the site. This collects anonymised data including pages visited, time on site, general location (country/city level), device type, and referring website. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information through analytics.
GA4 uses cookies to track sessions. You can opt out via your browser's cookie settings or a Google Analytics opt-out extension.
Affiliate link data
When you click an Amazon affiliate link, you're redirected to Amazon's website. Amazon may set its own cookies on your device in accordance with Amazon's privacy policy. We receive aggregated, anonymised commission reports — no personal purchase data.
Contact form data
If you contact us via our contact page, we collect the name and email address you provide, solely to respond to your enquiry. We don't add contact form submissions to any mailing list.
What we don't collect
- Payment information (all purchases happen on Amazon)

Our hosting provider (Hostinger) maintains physical and network security for the servers. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable precautions proportionate to the data we handle.
