What is a privacy Policy

A Privacy Policy is a document that lives on a website that explains how that website gathers, stores, and uses information provided by its site visitors.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site 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, 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

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.

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.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Affiliate Links and Data Collection

This website utilizes the Amazon Associates program to earn advertising fees through affiliate links. When you interact with these affiliate links, certain data may be collected and processed. Here is how this process works:

  • Click-Through Data: When you click on an affiliate link to Amazon.com, information about your click (such as the link clicked and the time of the click) may be recorded.
  • Data Usage: The data collected from affiliate links is primarily used for tracking purposes to determine the effectiveness of our affiliate marketing efforts.
  • Third-Party Handling: Please note that any products or services you purchase through Amazon.com are provided by Amazon, and your interactions with Amazon are governed by Amazon’s Privacy Policy and terms of service.
  • Opt-Out: You may have the option to control the collection and tracking of your data related to affiliate links through your browser settings or other mechanisms. However, such opt-out options are typically managed by third parties, such as Amazon.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of affiliate links or the data collected through them, please contact us at ThisSheetGood[at]gmail[dot]com.

Please be aware that our Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our data collection or affiliate marketing practices. The most current version of the Privacy Policy can always be found on our website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, 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

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

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.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
