This Privacy Policy explains how iBlackBeauty.com (“we,” “our,” or “the site”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Health Content Disclaimer
The content on iBlackBeauty.com is written by a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nothing on this site establishes a provider-patient relationship. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making any changes to your health, medications, supplements, or lifestyle based on information read here.
iBlackBeauty.com is not a telehealth platform. The consultation service offered on this site is a brief strategy session — not a clinical visit, not a prescription service, and not a substitute for ongoing care with your primary provider or specialist.
Information We Collect
Information you give us directly
When you use our contact form, book a consultation, or make a purchase through this site, you may provide personal information including your name, email address, and payment information. Payment transactions are processed securely through third-party processors (such as Stripe or PayPal) — iBlackBeauty.com does not store your credit card or payment details.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, iBlackBeauty.com automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address and general geographic location (country/region)
- Browser type and device type
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see the Cookies section below)
This information is collected through tools like Google Analytics and is used only to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. It is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your browser — for the following purposes:
- Analytics: Google Analytics uses cookies to track aggregate visitor behavior. This data is anonymized and does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- WooCommerce / Shopping: If you purchase a clinical guide or book a consultation through this site, WooCommerce sets cookies to manage your cart and session. These are essential for the shop to function.
- WordPress: WordPress sets functional cookies for logged-in users and comment forms. If you are not logged in, these have no effect on your browsing.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality, including the checkout process.
Affiliate Links & Advertising
iBlackBeauty.com participates in affiliate programs, meaning some links on this site may earn a small commission if you make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. These programs include:
- Amazon Associates: iBlackBeauty.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- Impact and other affiliate networks: We may also participate in affiliate programs for other health, beauty, and wellness brands. All affiliate relationships are disclosed on the relevant pages.
Affiliate commissions never influence which products are recommended. Products are selected based on clinical relevance, evidence base, and third-party testing standards — not on commission rates. All affiliate links are marked with rel="nofollow" per standard practice.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Fulfill purchases and deliver digital products
- Respond to contact form inquiries
- Improve the content and structure of the site based on analytics
- Send transactional emails (order confirmations, consultation reminders) — we do not send unsolicited marketing emails
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.
Third-Party Services
This site uses the following third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (Google Privacy Policy)
- WordPress / WooCommerce — content management and e-commerce
- Amazon.com — affiliate product links (Amazon Privacy Notice)
- Stripe or PayPal — payment processing (if applicable)
When you click an affiliate link or make a purchase through a third-party site, that site’s privacy policy governs your data — not ours.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data:

Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions and purchase records for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which they were collected, or as required by law. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics’ standard retention settings (26 months by default) and can be adjusted or deleted upon request.
Security
This site uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and the server. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no website can guarantee absolute security. Do not submit sensitive personal or financial information through the contact form.
