This Privacy Policy explains how Fivaan (“we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible at https://fivaan.com, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. By using Fivaan, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us voluntarily:
- Your name, email address, and message when you use our contact form
- Your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter
- Your name, email, and comment content if you leave a comment on an article
Information collected automatically:
When you visit Fivaan, certain data is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools, including your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you visit, how long you stay, and the website that referred you here. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to messages sent through our contact form
- Send our newsletter to subscribers who opted in
- Understand which articles and topics readers find useful, so we can improve the site
- Maintain the security and performance of the website
- Display advertising that supports the site (see Section 4)
We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Fivaan uses cookies to remember your preferences, measure site traffic, and support the advertising described below. You can disable or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function as smoothly without them.
4. Advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on Fivaan. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
We do not control the cookies used by third-party advertisers. Please consult those third parties’ own privacy policies for more detail.
5. Analytics
We use Google Analytics (through Google Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are most popular and how visitors arrive here. This data is collected in aggregate form and does not identify individual visitors. You can learn how Google handles this data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
6. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on Fivaan may include embedded content from other platforms, most commonly Instagram posts from barbers, stylists, and creators whose work we feature. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited that platform directly: those platforms (such as Instagram/Meta) may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content — especially if you are logged in to an account with them. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those platforms for details on how they handle your data.
7. Affiliate Links
Some articles may contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This does not affect which products or styles we choose to feature.
8. Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address for the sole purpose of sending you our updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We never share or sell subscriber lists.
9. Comments
If you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized hash of your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture there; Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
10. How Long We Keep Your Data
Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your inquiry. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically.
11. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of that data
- Object to or restrict how your data is processed
- Withdraw consent at any time (for example, by unsubscribing from the newsletter)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, these rights are provided under the GDPR. If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the CCPA. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below and we will respond as quickly as we can.
12. Children’s Privacy
Fivaan is written for adults. While some of our content (such as boys’ haircut guides) is about children, it is written for parents and guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
13. Data Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the information collected through this site, including secure hosting and HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
14. Links to Other Websites
Fivaan contains links to external websites. Once you leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other websites and encourage you to read their policies.
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
