This Privacy Policy explains what information themodernhomeguide.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects when you visit the website, how that information is used, and the choices you have.
Who we are
themodernhomeguide.com is a home and lifestyle website that publishes guides on home decor, interior design, home improvement, gardening and smart home topics. Our website address is https://themodernhomeguide.com.
Information we collect
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the servers that host this site automatically record standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to keep the site secure, fix problems and keep it running smoothly.
We do not currently use analytics tools, advertising networks or social media tracking pixels on this website.
Comments
If you leave a comment, we collect the information you enter in the comment form (your name, email address and, optionally, your website), along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
Your email address is never shown publicly. Your name, website (if provided) and comment are published next to your comment.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it, so your profile picture can appear next to your comment. You can read the Gravatar service’s privacy policy at automattic.com/privacy.
Newsletter (not yet active)
We plan to offer an email newsletter in the future. The newsletter is not active yet, and this website does not currently collect email addresses for marketing.
When the newsletter launches, we will only add you to our list if you choose to subscribe. We will collect your email address (and possibly your first name), use an email marketing service to store the list and send emails, include an unsubscribe link in every email, and update this policy to name the service we use before collecting any sign-ups.
Contact forms and accounts
This website does not currently have a contact form, and visitors cannot create user accounts.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. This website uses only a small number of functional cookies:
- Comment cookies: If you leave a comment and tick the box to save your details, your name, email address and website are saved in cookies so you don’t have to type them again next time. These cookies last for one year.
- Login cookies: Used only by site administrators who log in to manage the website.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy first.
Embedded content and links to other websites
Our articles link to other websites, such as government agencies, university extension services and retailers, for sources and further reading. When you follow a link, you leave our website and the other site’s privacy policy applies. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other websites.
If an article includes embedded content from another website (for example a video), that content behaves as if you had visited the other website directly, and that website may collect data about you.
How we use your information
We use the information described above to:
- Publish and moderate comments.
- Protect the website against spam, abuse and security threats.
- Keep the website working properly and improve it.
We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share your data with
We share information only with service providers that help us run the website, such as our web hosting provider, and only as needed to provide their service. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law.
How long we keep your data
Comments and their related information are kept indefinitely, so that follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically. Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period as part of its normal operations.
You can ask us to delete a comment you have posted at any time.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or to ask us to correct or delete it. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.
Data security
The website uses an encrypted HTTPS connection, and we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. However, no website or method of storing data is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
This website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we launch the newsletter or add new services. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
