isearchow.com ("the Site", "we", "us", "our") is operated by Flex Media Ltd., Rm 707, Fortress Tower, 250 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong. We publish articles on travel, home and garden, mental wellbeing, and parenting.
For any questions about this policy or about the personal information we hold, contact us at [email protected].
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit isearchow.com, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell your personal information. What we do collect is the ordinary technical information every website receives, plus information gathered by Google in order to show advertising and to power the search features on this site. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time using the links in the Advertising section below.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting infrastructure and the third-party services described below may receive:
Information you give us voluntarily. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to put in your message. We use it to reply and keep it only as long as needed for that purpose.
What we do not collect. We do not operate user accounts or logins. We do not ask for your name, postal address, date of birth, or payment details. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as health data, and you should not send us any.
Please note that reading an article in our Mental Health or Mother & baby categories does not tell us anything about you personally. We receive page-view data in aggregate, not a profile of your health.
Cookies are small files placed on your device. We and our partners use them for four purposes:
|
Type |
What it does |
Can you refuse it? |

Yes |
|
Search |

Yes, though the search feature may not work properly |
You can control cookies through your browser settings — every major browser allows you to block or delete them. Blocking essential cookies may break parts of the Site. Blocking advertising cookies will not remove ads; it means the ads you see will be less relevant to you.
We use Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads on this Site based on your prior visits here and to other websites. This is known as interest-based or personalized advertising.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and other sites on the internet.
Your choices:
Opting out does not mean you stop seeing ads. It means the ads you see are no longer selected based on your browsing activity.
This Site displays search features and related search content provided by Google. When you use these features — by entering a search term, or by clicking a suggested search topic shown on an article — your query and your interaction with it are processed by Google in order to return results and to serve advertising alongside them.
This means:
Google's handling of this data is described in the **Google Privacy Policy**. We do not receive your individual search history as personally identifiable information; we see aggregate data about which topics are searched.
We label these units as advertising or sponsored where they are advertising. If you ever find a search unit on this Site that is unclear about what it is, please tell us at [email protected].
Keep this section only if you actually use analytics — see the note at the top of this document. Delete it entirely if you do not.
We use [Google Analytics / ANALYTICS PROVIDER] to understand which articles are read, how visitors find us, and where people leave the Site. This tells us what to write more of. The data we see is aggregated — visitor counts, popular pages, referral sources — rather than information identifying you individually.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the **Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on**.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not trade it.
We share information with:
Third-party advertising partners that participate in Google's network may also receive data through the AdSense integration. We do not control those partners individually; Google's partner-site policy, linked above, describes that relationship.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR and UK GDPR give you the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; have inaccurate data corrected; have your data erased; restrict or object to our processing of it; receive your data in a portable format; and withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
Our legal bases for processing are: your consent, for advertising and analytics cookies; and our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the Site, for essential technical data.
If you are a California resident, the CCPA and CPRA give you the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used; to request deletion; to correct inaccurate information; and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. Interest-based advertising may constitute "sharing" under California law — you can opt out using the advertising links above. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Global Privacy Control. We honor the GPC browser signal as an opt-out of sale and sharing where applicable law gives that signal effect.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within the period required by applicable law. We may need to ask you for information to verify your request.
This Site is intended for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Our Mother & baby category is written for parents and carers, not for children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
We keep server and analytics logs only as long as needed for security and to understand site performance. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry. Retention of advertising data by Google is governed by Google's own policies.
Our service providers, including Google, may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where data is transferred out of the EEA or UK, those providers rely on legal transfer mechanisms such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Articles on this Site link to other websites, and our search features may take you to Google-operated pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any site we link to. Read their policies before giving them information.
We may update this policy as the Site changes or as the law requires. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage.
Questions, requests, or complaints about this policy: [email protected], or write to Flex Media Ltd., Rm 707, Fortress Tower, 250 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong.
If you are in the EEA or UK and are unhappy with our response, you have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
