Introduction
This privacy policy explains how TheSize.net ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit thesize.net or any of its subpages. It covers automatically collected data, cookies, advertising, analytics, third-party vendors, and your rights under common data-protection laws. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.
What information is collected
Automatically collected
When you load a page, standard request information is logged by the hosting infrastructure and by the analytics and advertising services described below. This includes your IP address, browser user agent, referrer URL, the page you requested, the time of the request, and approximate location derived from the IP address. This data is used to keep the site reachable, to detect abuse, and to understand which guides are useful.
Provided by you
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you put in the message. We do not run a recurring newsletter; if you opt in to a future-launch notification through the newsletter page, your email will be stored only until that one-time notification is sent. The site has no contact form, no account system, and no on-site payment flow.
Calculator inputs
The size calculators on category pages run entirely in your browser. The values you type into them are not sent to any server and are not stored after you leave the page.
How information is used
- To deliver the site and keep it operational.
- To understand which guides are read most and where readers come from, so we can prioritize updates.
- To serve advertising that funds the site, including personalized advertising where permitted.
- To respond to emails you send us and to investigate reported errors.
- To detect and prevent abuse such as scraping, fraud, or attacks against the hosting infrastructure.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not build profiles for sale. We do not transfer email addresses to marketing partners.
Cookies and tracking technologies
The site uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising. Most cookies are set by third parties listed below, not by TheSize.net directly. You can review and adjust cookies in your browser settings or use the opt-out links described in the cookie policy. Blocking cookies will not break the size guides or calculators — they continue to work without cookies.
Google AdSense and third-party advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google is a third-party vendor that uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this site or other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to TheSize.net and other sites on the internet.
Google may use the DoubleClick DART cookie or similar identifiers for ad personalization. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu. Google's broader advertising policies are described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
The site may also serve ads through additional advertising networks (for example, partners we work with for specific ad units). These vendors may set their own cookies or use device identifiers to measure and optimize advertising. They are bound by their own privacy policies.
Google Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics to collect aggregated information about page traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to record an anonymized session identifier, the pages visited, the referring URL, and your approximate location. We do not link Analytics data to email addresses or individual identities. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Other third-party services
The site is delivered through standard hosting and content-delivery infrastructure that processes request data as part of normal operation. Embedded scripts from advertising vendors are listed at the bottom of each page in the page source. The cookie policy lists the third parties known to set cookies on this site.
Your rights under GDPR (EEA / UK)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with comparable rules, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Access: request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification: request correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure: request deletion, where the legal grounds for processing no longer apply.
- Restriction: request that we limit how we process your data.
- Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling for advertising.
- Portability: request a machine-readable copy of data you provided to us.
- Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@thesize.net. You can also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
Your rights under the CCPA / CPRA (California)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to request deletion of personal information, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. To exercise CCPA rights, email privacy@thesize.net.
Children
The site 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 personal information, contact privacy@thesize.net and the data will be deleted.
Data retention
Server access logs and analytics data are retained for as long as needed to operate and improve the site, typically up to 26 months for analytics data subject to provider defaults. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the request and any related follow-up.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. No system can be guaranteed perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will notify you in line with applicable law.
International transfers
The hosting infrastructure, analytics, and advertising vendors used by this site may process data in countries outside your home jurisdiction, including the United States. Where required, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or vendor certifications.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Substantive changes will be reflected in the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
