Amazon Affiliate Disclosure
https://www.google.com/search?q=HomeLivingHacks.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
How it works: When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission.
No extra cost to you: Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer. The price you pay for any product remains exactly the same.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our product reviews or articles, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, in a comment or review), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies & Affiliate Tracking
Standard Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Affiliate Cookies (Amazon): As an Amazon Associate, we use affiliate links. If you click on a product link on our site, a specialized cookie may be placed on your browser to track the referral. This cookie tells Amazon that a visitor from https://www.google.com/search?q=HomeLivingHacks.com has arrived at their site. This tracking is necessary for us to receive credit for the referral and is standard practice in affiliate marketing. These cookies typically last for 24 hours.
Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos of product demonstrations, Amazon product widgets, images, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We respect your privacy. The only instance where data is shared is for administrative purposes or legal requirements:
Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Spam Checks: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We do not share your personal email address or contact information with Amazon. Amazon only receives anonymous data related to the traffic source (our website) and the products purchased.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
