Privacy Policy
Last updated 10 September 2026
This policy describes what this site does with data, and it is short because the site does very little. Read the first section and you will already know most of it.
What this site is, technically
Know Your Face Shape is a set of static HTML pages. There are no user accounts, no logins, no sign-up, no comments, no search box and no forms of any kind. There is nothing on this site to type into, so there is nothing typed into it to collect.
The site itself sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads no scripts. As of the date above, a page on this site makes no requests to any third-party domain — the stylesheet is embedded in the page and there are no images, no fonts and no embedded video. If that changes, this section changes with it.
Advertising — the part that does collect data
This site is funded by advertising served by third-party ad networks. Read this section carefully, because those networks collect considerably more than the site itself does.
Current status: as of 10 September 2026 no ad network is live on this site yet. When one is, it will be named here by name, on this page. Until then the paragraph below describes what will happen rather than what is happening.
When advertising is live, the ad network and its own partners may:
- set cookies on your device, and read cookies they or their partners have already set there
- use device and browser identifiers, and your IP address, which indicates your approximate location
- record which pages of this site you viewed, and which ads you saw or clicked
- combine that with data gathered on other sites in order to select ads and measure whether they worked
Two things worth being precise about. First, the site's editor does not receive that data — it goes to the network, and the reporting that comes back is aggregate. Second, an ad network is an independent controller of the data it collects, which has a practical consequence: a request to delete or see that data has to go to the network, not to this site, because this site does not hold it and cannot reach it.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. To deliver a page and to protect the site from abuse, Cloudflare processes connection data including your IP address, the browser user-agent string and the time of the request. This happens for every visit, including the very first one, and it is not something the site can switch off — it is how the request reaches a server at all. Cloudflare's own terms govern that processing: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
If you write to contact@knowyourfaceshape.com, the message is received by Cloudflare Email Routing and forwarded to a mailbox operated by the site's editor. Your address and whatever you wrote are used to read and answer your message, and for nothing else. There is no mailing list, so you cannot be added to one. Delivered mail sits in that mailbox until it is deleted.
The downloadable file
The measurement sheet offered on the homepage is a plain CSV file served as a static download. It contains no macros, no tracking pixel and no link that reports back. Anything you fill into it stays on your own device — it is not uploaded anywhere, because there is nothing here to upload it to.
Your choices
Because the site sets no cookies of its own, cookie controls in your browser affect only the ad network. Your options:
- Block or delete third-party cookies in your browser settings. Every current browser can do this, and it will not stop this site's pages from working, since they need no cookies to display.
- Use the industry opt-out pages for interest-based advertising: youradchoices.com in the United States, youronlinechoices.eu in Europe. Note what these do and do not achieve: they reduce ad targeting. They do not stop ads appearing, and they do not stop data collection by a network that is not a member of those programmes.
- Use a content blocker. Nothing on this site detects one or asks you to turn it off.
If you are in the EU, the UK, or California
Requests about your own data — to see it, correct it, delete it, or object to its use — can be sent to the contact address, and they will be answered. Be aware of what that answer will usually be: this site holds no data about you beyond an email you chose to send. Where the data is held by the ad network, the request has to be made to that network. Once one is live it will be named in the advertising section above, along with where its own request process lives, so that you have somewhere real to send it.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them. There is no mechanism here that could collect it: no account, no form, no upload.
Changes to this policy
The date at the top is the date of the last substantive change. Two changes are already expected and worth flagging now: naming the ad network once one is live, and updating the third-party requests statement at the same time. This page will not be quietly revised — the date moves whenever the substance does.
