This Privacy Policy explains what happens to information when you visit BuzzHeight (buzzheight.com). We run a simple content website about the height, weight, and physical stats of public figures, and we try to keep our approach to your data just as simple. This page tells you what we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what control you have over it.
By using BuzzHeight, you agree to the practices described here. If any part of this doesn’t sit right with you, the best option is to stop using the site.
Who we are
BuzzHeight is an independent website published at buzzheight.com. We are the “data controller” for the information described below, which is a formal way of saying we’re the people responsible for deciding how it gets used. You can reach us any time at https://buzzheight.com/contact-us/.
What information we collect
We collect two kinds of information: things you hand us directly, and things that get recorded automatically when almost any modern website is loaded.
Information you give us
Most people read BuzzHeight without ever typing anything into it, and that’s completely fine. But if you send us an email, leave a comment (where enabled), or fill in a contact or feedback form, you may share your name, email address, and whatever message you decide to write. We only get this because you chose to send it.
Information collected automatically
Like nearly every site on the internet, our servers and the tools we use log some technical details on their own. This can include your IP address, the type of browser and device you’re on, your operating system, the pages you open, the site or search that sent you here, and the date and time of your visit. None of this tells us who you are by name — it’s the ambient data that keeps a website running and helps us understand which articles people actually find useful.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are tiny text files a website stores in your browser. We use them, and so do the third-party services we rely on. Broadly, they fall into three buckets:
- Essential cookies that make the site load and function properly.
- Analytics cookies that help us count visits and see which celebrity pages are popular, so we know what to write about next.
- Advertising cookies placed by our ad partners to show ads and, in some cases, make them more relevant to you.
You are fully in charge here. Every major browser lets you block cookies, delete them, or warn you before one is set — usually somewhere in the Settings or Privacy menu. Just know that switching them all off can make parts of this and other websites behave oddly.
How we use your information
We keep the list of reasons short on purpose. We use the information above to publish and maintain the website, to reply when you contact us, to understand traffic patterns and improve our content, to display advertising that helps keep BuzzHeight free to read, and to keep the site secure and free of spam and abuse. We do not use your data to build creepy personal profiles, and we do not use it for anything you wouldn’t reasonably expect from a celebrity stats blog.
Analytics
We use analytics software (such as Google Analytics) to measure traffic and understand, in aggregate, how people move through the site. This helps us decide which figures and articles to update. Analytics data is looked at as trends and totals, not as individual people. You can learn about Google’s practices at Google’s Privacy Policy.
Embedded content
Some pages include content from other websites, such as embedded images, videos, or social media posts. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited that other website directly, so those third parties may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their embedded content.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. Full stop. We share information only in a few ordinary situations: with the service providers who help us run the site (hosting, analytics, and advertising partners, each acting under their own terms), and if we are ever legally required to do so by a valid request from a court or government authority. That’s the whole list.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live — for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California — you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to request a copy of it, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. You can also ask us to stop processing it in certain cases. To make any of these requests, email us at contact@buzzheight.com and we’ll respond within a reasonable time. Because BuzzHeight collects very little about identifiable individuals to begin with, most requests are quick to handle.
Data retention
We keep information only as long as it’s genuinely useful. Messages you send us are kept while we handle your query and for a sensible period afterward. Analytics and log data are retained according to the settings and defaults of the tools that collect them. When information is no longer needed, it’s deleted or anonymised.
Data security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect the limited data we handle, including serving the site over a secure (HTTPS) connection. That said, no method of transmitting or storing data online is ever completely secure, so we can’t promise absolute protection — nobody honestly can.
Children’s privacy
BuzzHeight is a general-interest website and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Links to other websites
Our articles sometimes link out to other sites for sources or further reading. Once you click through, you’re on their turf — we have no control over their content or privacy practices, and this policy no longer applies. It’s always worth glancing at the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Visitors from outside our country
BuzzHeight can be read from anywhere in the world, and the tools we use may process data on servers located in different countries. By using the site, you understand your information may be handled in a location with different data-protection laws than your own.
Changes to this policy
The internet changes, and so do the tools we use, so this policy may be updated from time to time. When it is, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Meaningful changes will be reflected here, so it’s worth checking back occasionally. Continuing to use BuzzHeight after an update means you accept the revised policy.
