Privacy Policy and Disclosures

Effective date: November 9, 2026

I’m Susan Blakey, and I write une femme d’un certain âge at unefemme.net. This policy explains what information the site and I collect, why, who I share it with, and the choices you have. When I say “I” or “une femme,” I mean me and this site.

If you have a question about any of this, write to me at [email protected] or by mail at P.O. Box 3561, Culver City, CA 90231-3461

Information I collect

What you give me directly

Newsletter sign-ups: your name and email address when you join my list through a form on the site.
Messages: your name, email, and whatever you write when you use my contact form or email me.
Color and style services: your name, contact details, appointment details, and any photos or style notes you share for a Personal Color Analysis or Style Analysis. Payments go through Stripe; I don’t see or store your full card number.
Comments: your name, email, and comment if you leave one on a post.

What’s collected automatically

When you visit, the site and its partners use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location (city or region), the pages you view, how long you stay, the site that sent you here, and advertising identifiers. Some of these tools belong to me; most belong to the advertising and service partners listed below.

How I use it

To send the newsletter you asked for, and to reply when you write to me
To schedule and deliver color and style services you book
To understand which posts readers find useful, so I can write more of them
To show ads that pay for the site, and to earn commissions through affiliate links
To keep the site secure and working, and to meet legal obligations

I don’t sell your email address or contact details to anyone. Under several US state laws, though, letting ad partners collect browsing data through cookies can count as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. That’s why the site offers the opt-out described below.

Advertising

Ads on une femme are managed by Raptive, which works with many advertising companies to show ads here. Raptive and its partners collect and use certain data for advertising, as described in Raptive’s statement below.

Advertising.

CMI Marketing, Inc., d/b/a Raptive (“Raptive”) is a service provider of this Site for the purposes of placing advertising on the Site, and Raptive will collect and use certain data for advertising purposes.

Other services I use

These companies help run the site. Each has its own privacy policy.

Service	What it does here	What it may collect
Flodesk	Sends my newsletter	Name, email, whether you open emails and click links
Slickstream	Powers search, favorites, and related-post features	Pages viewed, device info, items you save
Pinterest	Save buttons and a Pinterest tag	Pages viewed, Pinterest activity
Cloudflare	Security, speed, and basic site analytics	IP address, browser info, pages viewed
comScore	Audience measurement	Pages viewed, device info
JW Player	Video playback	Device info, video views
ShopMy and rewardStyle (LTK)	Shopping links and product widgets	Clicks and purchases made through my links
Google Analytics	Site statistics	Pages viewed, device, approximate location

I also link to my Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest accounts. Those platforms handle your data under their own policies when you visit them.

Affiliate links and brand partnerships

Many posts include affiliate links, mostly through ShopMy and rewardStyle (LTK). If you click one and buy something, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Those commissions, along with ads, keep une femme running.

When a brand sends me something at no charge, I mark it “gifted.” When a brand pays me for a post or social content, I label it as sponsored or a paid partnership. Either way, I only share pieces I’d wear or recommend, and my opinions are my own.

Cookies and your choices

Advertising cookies: Use the “Do not sell or share my personal information” link at the bottom of every page, or the privacy settings in the consent banner if you see one.
Global Privacy Control: I honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as an opt-out of sale and sharing where the law requires it.
Your browser: You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may not work as well if you do.
Industry opt-outs: You can also opt out of interest-based ads from many companies at youradchoices.com and optout.networkadvertising.org.
Email: Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

Your rights if you live in the US

If you live in California or one of the other states with a consumer privacy law (including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Oregon, Texas, and others), you may have the right to:

Know what personal information I collect and how I use and share it
Get a copy of your information
Correct information that’s wrong
Ask me to delete your information
Opt out of the sale or sharing of your information and of targeted advertising
Not be treated differently for using any of these rights

To opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted ads, use the “Do not sell or share my personal information” link at the bottom of the page. For anything else, email me at [email protected] with the subject “Privacy request.” I may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and I’ll respond within the time the law allows, usually 45 days. You can also have an authorized agent contact me for you. If I deny your request, you can appeal by replying to my response.

If you live in the EU, EEA, or UK

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, I’m the controller of the information I collect. I rely on these legal bases:

What I do	Legal basis
Send the newsletter	Your consent, which you can withdraw anytime by unsubscribing
Advertising and non-essential cookies	Your consent, given through the consent banner
Deliver services you book	Performing our agreement
Answer your messages	My legitimate interest in replying to readers
Keep the site secure and keep records the law requires	Legitimate interest and legal obligation

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your information; to object to or limit how I use it; and to withdraw consent at any time. Email me at [email protected] to use any of these rights. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

I’m based in the United States, so your information is processed there. Where required, my service providers use safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long I keep information

I keep newsletter details until you unsubscribe, client records for as long as I need them for the service and for tax and business records (generally up to seven years), and messages for as long as they’re useful for our conversation. Cookie data is kept according to each partner’s own policy.

Security

I use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No website or email system is perfectly secure, so I can’t guarantee absolute security.

Children

une femme is written for adults. I don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you think a child has given me information, please email me and I’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

I’ll update this page when my practices or the law change, and I’ll change the effective date at the top. If a change is significant, I’ll mention it in the newsletter.
