Privacy Policy

Effective as of November 1, 2025
Website: https://www.creativeadvisor.com

At Creative Advisor, we respect your privacy and want you to understand how we collect, use, and protect your information. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

What We Collect and Why

Comments

When you leave a comment, we collect the data you provide in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser type to help us detect spam. An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to display profile pictures. You can view their policy here: automattic.com/privacy.

Media

If you upload images, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract this information from images on the site.

Cookies

We use cookies to make our site work better for you, to understand how people use it, and to track affiliate links that help support our work. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit our site.

You can find detailed information about the cookies we use — including names, purposes, and durations — in our full Cookie Policy. There, you can also learn how to manage or withdraw your consent.

Manage my preferences

In short:

  • Essential cookies keep the website running properly.
  • Analytics cookies help us understand traffic and improve the experience.
  • Affiliate tracking cookies measure referrals and commissions.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use our site. Google collects anonymized information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, device type, and location (at a city or region level).


You can opt out by installing Google’s Analytics Opt‑Out Browser Add‑On.

Some of the links on Creative Advisor are affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click or make a purchase through those links. Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar tracking tools to attribute sales to our site. These do not increase your cost or affect our editorial independence.

Email Subscriptions

If you sign up for our newsletter or updates, we’ll collect your name and email address. We only use this information to send you content you’ve requested. You can unsubscribe anytime using the link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Embedded Content

Articles on our site may include embedded content (videos, images, or posts from other sites). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the original site directly and may collect data or track your interaction according to that site’s own privacy policy.

How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Comments and related metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve future comments automatically.
  • Registered users (if any) can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time.
  • Analytics and affiliate data are kept only as long as needed for legitimate business and reporting purposes.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of that data
  • Withdraw consent to data collection
  • File a complaint with your local data protection authority

Visitors from the European Union and United Kingdom

While Creative Advisor primarily serves users in the United States, visitors from the European Union (EU) or United Kingdom (UK) may have additional privacy rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related laws.

If you are located in the EU or UK, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct, update, or delete that data.
  • Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

We process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and improving this website, providing services you request, and analyzing site performance.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights or have questions about how your data is handled, please contact us at [email protected]. We may request verification of your identity before responding to protect your privacy.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information using SSL encryption, secure servers, and limited access. Still, no online system is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute protection.

Where Your Data Goes

Visitor comments may be checked through Akismet or similar spam‑detection services. Affiliate and analytics data may be processed by trusted partners such as Google, Cloudflare, and affiliate networks like Impact or PartnerStack, depending on how you interact with the site.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. When changes are significant, we’ll post a clear notice on our site.
