Effective date: October 20, 2026
Sizzling Magazine (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates www.sizzlingmagazine.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site and how we use it.
1. Information we collect
a) Information you give us directly. When you leave a comment, use the contact form, or subscribe to updates, we collect the details you provide — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message.
b) Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical data: your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. We use Google Analytics to understand readership in aggregate; no individual profiling is performed.
c) Cookies. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working (e.g. remembering preferences) and to measure traffic. See our Cookie Policy for details.
2. How we use your information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content
- To respond to comments, questions, and contact requests
- To measure readership and understand which topics readers enjoy
- To show relevant advertising via Google AdSense and/or other ad partners and keep the site free to read
- To detect and prevent spam, abuse, or security issues
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Third parties
We share limited data with service providers that help run the site: our hosting provider, Google Analytics, and advertising partners such as Google AdSense. These parties process data only to provide their services and are bound by their own privacy policies. Embedded content (e.g. videos) from other websites behaves as if you visited those websites directly.
4. Data retention
Contact messages and comments are kept for as long as needed to operate the site and meet legal obligations. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form.
5. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at admin@sizzlingmagazine.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.
6. Children’s privacy
Sizzling Magazine is a general-audience site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with its effective date.
