This Privacy Policy explains how USA Celebs (“USA Celebs”, “we”, “us”, “our”) — operated by Sonali Baidya as an individual at 158 Grove Street, Bronx, NY 10456, United States — collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit https://usacelebs.com (the “Site”). It is written in plain English so that you can actually read it.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

Comments. If you post a comment, we collect the name, email, and any website URL you submit, plus your IP address and browser user-agent string for spam detection.
Direct messages. If you email support@usacelebs.com, your message and email address are retained so we can respond and keep records of correspondence.

Information collected automatically

Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard access logs (IP address, request URL, user agent, timestamp, referring page). Logs are retained for security and abuse-prevention purposes.
Cookies and similar technologies. See the dedicated Cookie Policy.
Analytics. We use Jetpack Stats (a feature of Jetpack by Automattic) for aggregated site analytics. Jetpack collects information such as the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and a hashed identifier; details are in Automattic’s privacy policy.

2. How we use information

To operate, secure, and improve the Site.
To respond to your messages and process any requests you make.
To moderate comments and prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
To understand aggregate audience trends through analytics.
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in exchange for money.

3. Third-party services

The Site relies on the following third-party services. Each operates under its own privacy policy.

Jetpack / Automattic — security, anti-spam, and aggregated analytics. Privacy policy.
LiteSpeed Cache — server-side caching for performance. Does not collect personal data from visitors.
Google Web Stories — used to publish AMP-style stories. Subject to Google’s privacy policy.
Hosting provider — stores the Site and access logs.
Future advertising partners. If we introduce display advertising (such as Google AdSense or Mediavine) we will update this Policy and the Cookie Policy before activation.

4. Cookies

We use a small number of essential and analytics cookies. A complete list, including duration and purpose, is on our Cookie Policy page. You can disable cookies through your browser at any time.

5. Sharing of information

We share information only with: (a) the third-party processors listed above, strictly to provide the Site; (b) law-enforcement or regulatory bodies when legally required; or (c) a successor entity in the event of a merger, sale, or transfer of the Site, in which case we will notify you on this page.

6. Data retention

Comments: retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be approved automatically.
User accounts: retained until the account is deleted on request.
Email correspondence: retained for up to 24 months unless a longer period is needed for legal reasons.
Server logs: retained for up to 90 days.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict the processing of your personal information, and to object to certain uses. Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions have rights under the GDPR; California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share). To exercise any right, email support@usacelebs.com with the subject line Privacy Request. We will verify your identity before fulfilling the request and respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

8. Children’s privacy

USA Celebs is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. International data transfers

USA Celebs is operated from the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.

10. Security

We use HTTPS, software updates, server-side firewalls, and reasonable administrative safeguards to protect personal information. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect any changes. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage for at least seven days.
