Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2026

1. Who We Are

Internet Chicks Worth (“ICW”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is an independent digital media platform and biographical directory accessible at https://internetchicksworth.com. We research, document, and publish biographical profiles, career milestones, income breakdowns, and estimated net worth valuations across diverse industries, including Digital & Media, Entertainment, Athletics & Public Service, and Industry & Lifestyle.

We respect the privacy of our visitors and are committed to safeguarding personal information collected through our website in compliance with global data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

2. Editorial Content and Publicly Sourced Data

The primary focus of ICW is the journalistic publication of biographical and financial profiles of public figures, digital creators, executives, and celebrities. The financial figures, career backgrounds, and estimated net worth statistics presented on our website are compiled from open public records, official filings, published interviews, reputable news outlets, and industry estimates.

If you are a public figure profiled on our site and believe any factual information is inaccurate or out of date, please review our Corrections Policy or reach out to our editorial team via our Contact Page.

3. Comments and Reader Engagement

When visitors leave comments on our profiles or articles, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam and abuse detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a cryptographic hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify whether you have an active account. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Upon approval of your comment, your profile image (if assigned) becomes publicly visible alongside your published comment.

4. Media Uploads

If you upload or submit images to the website (for example, through contact forms, tip lines, or author accounts), you should avoid uploading media files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Other visitors could potentially download and extract geolocation data from publicly accessible images.

5. Cookies and Web Beacons

ICW uses cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to improve user navigation, maintain site preferences, analyze reader engagement, and display relevant advertising. We utilize the following types of cookies:

  • Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies remain valid for one year.
  • Account and Session Cookies: If you log in to an authorized contributor or subscriber account, temporary cookies are set to determine browser support, store screen preferences (lasting up to one year), and maintain login state (lasting two days, or two weeks if “Remember Me” is enabled).
  • Article Editing Cookies: If an authorized editor edits or updates an article, an administrative cookie noting the edited post ID is stored for 24 hours.
  • Analytics & Performance Cookies: We utilize privacy-compliant analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics) to monitor aggregate traffic patterns, referral sources, and high-performing biography categories.

You can adjust your browser settings at any time to reject cookies or notify you when cookies are being issued. Note that disabling cookies may affect some interactive features on our site.

6. Embedded Content and Social Media Integrations

Articles on ICW frequently feature embedded content to document creator work, including videos from YouTube, posts from X (formerly Twitter), Instagram photographs, TikTok clips, and podcast streams. Embedded content from external websites functions in the exact same manner as if the visitor had navigated directly to those external services.

These third-party platforms may collect data about you, deploy their own tracking cookies, incorporate supplementary third-party telemetry, and monitor your interaction with the embedded media—especially if you maintain an active account and are logged into that third-party service.

7. Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Partners

To fund our ongoing editorial research, ICW displays programmatic and contextual advertisements served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense and publisher advertising exchanges). These networks may use cookies and device identifiers to serve tailored advertisements based on your prior visits to this website and other destinations across the web.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or by navigating to the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice tool.

8. Data Sharing and Transfer

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal identifying data to third parties. Data collection is limited to standard operational requirements:

  • Security and Anti-Spam: Visitor comments and inquiries may be processed through automated spam screening services (such as Akismet).
  • Infrastructure Providers: Necessary server logs, IP addresses, and performance metrics are processed by our secure hosting and content delivery network (CDN) partners.
  • Legal Disclosures: We may disclose information if required to do so by applicable law, court order, or official governmental request.

9. Data Retention

If you leave an approved comment, the comment and its associated metadata are preserved indefinitely to allow automatic approval of subsequent responses. For registered users on our platform, personal details provided in user profiles remain stored until deleted or modified by the user or an administrator. Server logs containing IP addresses are retained for operational security and diagnostic evaluations before scheduled rotation.

10. Your Rights Under GDPR and CCPA/CPRA

Depending on your location, you hold specific legal rights concerning your personal data:

  • Right of Access: You may request an exported copy of the personal data we store regarding your account or comments.
  • Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You may request the permanent removal of your personal records from our databases. This excludes records we are legally mandated to keep for administrative, regulatory, or site security obligations.
  • Right to Rectification: You may request corrections to any inaccurate personal information we retain.
  • Right to Opt Out: Residents of California and other applicable jurisdictions maintain the right to opt out of any future transfer or profiling activities.

11. Children’s Online Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

ICW does not intentionally market to or collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has submitted personal contact information on our platform without parental consent, please contact us immediately, and we will purge the data from our records.
