Introduction
Moonails publishes free nail art tutorials, designs and nail care guides, and we want the site to be simple and accessible to use. You do not need to register an account to read anything here. Moonails itself does not collect your name, email address or other personal details unless you choose to send them to us, and we do not sell your information.
Some data is collected automatically by the third-party services we rely on, including analytics providers, embedded video players and advertising networks. Depending on where you live, some of that data may count as personal information under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA. This policy explains what those services are, what they collect, and what choices you have.
Third-Party Services
Moonails uses several third-party services to keep the site fast, secure and free to read. These services handle analytics, advertising and embedded media. The main ones currently in use are:
- Google Analytics: Measures site activity such as page views, traffic sources and engagement. We use this data to decide which nail art tutorials and designs to write next. Google Analytics uses cookies and processes IP addresses; Moonails does not receive data that identifies you personally.
- Google AdSense: Serves the ads that pay for our free tutorials. AdSense and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers and browsing history to select and measure ads, including personalized ads. Moonails does not receive or store this data. You can review and change your ad settings at any time through Google's Ads Settings page, and you can read how Google uses data from partner sites in Google's own privacy documentation.
- Cloudflare: Provides security, caching and privacy-focused analytics. Cloudflare processes IP addresses and request data to block malicious traffic and diagnose performance issues. Its analytics do not use tracking cookies to identify individual visitors.
- YouTube: Some tutorials on moonails.com include embedded YouTube videos. When you play a video, YouTube and Google may set cookies and collect viewing data. If you are signed in to a Google account, that activity may be linked to your account. Moonails has no access to your individual viewing history.
Cookies and Consent
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by the sites you visit. Moonails and its partners use them in three ways:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic functions such as remembering your language and your cookie choices. The site may not work correctly without them.
- Analytics cookies: Used by Google Analytics to measure traffic and engagement in aggregate. They help us improve our content and layout and are not used to identify you.
- Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense and its partners to select ads, limit repetition and measure performance. These may involve personalized advertising.
If you are visiting from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, non-essential cookies are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner, and you can withdraw or change that consent at any time using the privacy controls on the site. Every major browser also lets you view, block or delete cookies directly. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of moonails.com work.
Affiliate Links and Disclosure
Some posts on Moonails contain affiliate links to nail polish, gel kits, nail art tools and other beauty supplies. If you buy through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Moonails is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and may take part in other affiliate programs.
Affiliate networks may use cookies to attribute a purchase to our site. These cookies record that you arrived from moonails.com; they do not give us access to your payment details or personal account information. We only recommend products we would use in our own nail routines, and an affiliate relationship never changes what we recommend.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of the personal data held about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent you previously gave. Residents of California and several other US states also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. Moonails does not sell personal information.
Because we do not operate accounts, we hold very little data ourselves. Most requests relating to advertising or analytics data need to go to the relevant provider, but if you contact us at legal@moonails.com we will help you direct your request and respond to anything within our control.
Children's Privacy
Moonails is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact legal@moonails.com and we will delete it.
Policy Updates
We review this privacy policy periodically. It may be updated to reflect new features, changes to the services we use, or new legal requirements. If we make a significant change, we will note it clearly on moonails.com.
The revision date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. We recommend checking back occasionally so you know how your data is handled.
Contact Information
If you have questions, feedback or requests about this privacy policy, email legal@moonails.com. Anna will review your message and respond as quickly as she can.
