This Privacy Policy explains how Frugal Faye may collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit the website.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically. This may include browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location, IP address, referring page, pages viewed, time spent, interactions, advertising identifiers, and similar diagnostic information.
Information you provide
If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, message, and any other information you choose to provide. We use that information to respond, maintain records, prevent abuse, and improve the site.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site may use cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, scripts, server-side event tools, click identifiers, and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, security, advertising, attribution, fraud prevention, and performance measurement.
Some technologies are set directly by Frugal Faye, while others may be set or read by service providers and advertising partners. More detail is available in the Cookie Policy.
Google advertising and AdSense
Frugal Faye may display advertising through Google AdSense or related Google publisher products. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies may allow Google and its partners to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, detect fraud, and provide reporting.
Visitors may manage advertising preferences through Google’s advertising controls and may also use industry opt-out tools where available. The availability and effect of those controls may vary by region, device, and browser.
Analytics
The site may use analytics services, including Google Analytics or similar tools, to understand how visitors use the site. These services may collect device, browser, interaction, referral, and approximate location data to produce reports and improve site performance.
Meta technologies and advertising traffic
Frugal Faye may promote content through Meta platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The site may use Meta Pixel, Conversions API, click identifiers, or related measurement tools to understand whether advertising led to visits or actions, measure performance, prevent fraud, and improve campaign delivery.
Information shared through these tools may include page views, browser and device information, timestamps, referral data, advertising identifiers, and event data. We do not intentionally send sensitive personal information through advertising measurement tools.
TikTok technologies and advertising traffic
Frugal Faye may promote content through TikTok. The site may use TikTok Pixel, Events API, TikTok click identifiers, cookies, or related tools for attribution, campaign measurement, optimization, frequency control, and fraud prevention.
TikTok may receive device, browser, referral, page-view, interaction, and advertising-related data according to the configuration in use and applicable consent requirements.
NewsBreak and native advertising traffic
Frugal Faye may receive visitors from NewsBreak, native advertising platforms, content recommendation networks, sponsored-content placements, or other paid media sources. Those services may append campaign parameters or click identifiers to links so traffic can be attributed and measured.
Advertising partners may collect or process device, browser, referral, interaction, and conversion-related information under their own terms and privacy policies. Frugal Faye does not control how third-party platforms process information on their own services.
Affiliate links and commercial relationships
Some pages may contain affiliate links, sponsored placements, or other commercial relationships. If a visitor clicks an affiliate link or completes a qualifying action, Frugal Faye may receive a commission or other compensation. Additional information is available in the Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
Service providers
We may use third parties for hosting, content delivery, analytics, advertising, email, security, consent management, website operations, and technical support. These providers may process limited information as needed to perform services, comply with law, protect rights, or prevent fraud and abuse.
Legal bases and consent
Where required, certain cookies, pixels, or advertising technologies will be used only after appropriate consent. In other cases, processing may be based on legitimate interests, contractual necessity, compliance with law, security, or another lawful basis recognized in the relevant jurisdiction.
Your privacy choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or information about categories of data collected, disclosed, sold, or shared. You may also have the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising, profiling, sale, or sharing of personal information.
Requests may be sent to faye@frugalfaye.com. We may need to verify the request and may retain information when legally permitted or required.
Do Not Sell or Share
Frugal Faye does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging it for money. Some privacy laws may define certain advertising or analytics disclosures as a “sale” or “sharing.” Where required, visitors may exercise applicable opt-out rights through available consent controls or by contacting us.
Data retention
Information is retained only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including analytics, security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and business records.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no website, network, or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
International visitors
Information may be processed in the United States or other countries where service providers operate. Privacy protections may differ from those in a visitor’s home country.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the site, service providers, advertising practices, or legal requirements change. The date shown at the top will reflect the latest revision.
