Your privacy is important to us and we at A LoveMade Home™ are committed to protecting it. This privacy applies to https://alovemadehome.com (hereinafter “us”, “we”, “Website” or “alovemadehome.com”). This Privacy Policy covers what we collect and how we use, disclose, transfer and store your information.

Log Files

alovemadehome.com follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit web sites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analysing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the web site and gathering demographic information.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file on your computer, created by a web site to store information about your visit, such as any preferences you set or the duration of your visit. Once a cookie is saved on your computer, only the web site that created the cookie can read it.

We employ the use of cookies to improve your experience while you navigate through the Website. By accessing alovemadehome.com, you agree to use cookies in agreement with the alovemadehome.com’s Privacy Policy.

Most interactive web sites use cookies to let them retrieve the user’s details for each visit. The cookies that are categorized as necessary are stored on your browser as they are essential for the working of basic functionalities of the web site.

We also use third-party cookies that help us analyse and understand how you use this Website. We use Google Analytics for this. All of the data we collect with Google Analytics is anonymous and we use it in an aggregated way, which means that we look at overall trends in browsing behaviour. We collect information such as: how many people visit our Website, what pages they visit and how long they spend on them, how long they stay on the site for, device-specific information and location information. We do not allow Google to use or share the data about how you use this site. Understanding how people browse alovemadehome.com can help us identify areas that we need to improve, or fix problems that are preventing people from finding the information they need.

These cookies will be stored in your browser only with your consent. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies in your browser settings. But opting out of some of these cookies may have an effect on your browsing experience. These cookies do not store any personal information.

The cookies termed as non-necessary cookies are used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads and other embedded contents.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Personal data or “Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that personally identifies you, such as your name, email address, domain. We collect such information when you subscribe to our email newsletter or leave a comment.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and web site in cookies (we also collect the visitor’s IP address (invisible for other Website users) and browser user agent string to help spam detection). These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.

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

An anonymised 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.

Embedded content from other web sites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other web sites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other web site.

These web sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that web site.

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 (subscription), 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 at info@alovemadehome.com 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.

In all cases, we will only use your information as permitted by law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Privacy Policy, however, we may disclose Personally Identifiable Information to others if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to:

  • comply with the law or with legal process;
  • protect and defend our rights and property;
  • protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Website;
  • protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public.

Please note that we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.

Policy Regarding Minors

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

alovemadehome.com does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our Website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

Third-Party Web Sites

alovemadehome.com contains links to third-party Web sites not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those third-party Web sites. We do not imply or express an approval or endorsement of the linked Web site by us, or of any of the content, opinions, products, or services provided on those Web sites. Even if an affiliation exists between alovemadehome.com and a third-party Web site, we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains its own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a Web site via a link from our Website, we encourage you to consult that Web site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information, and whenever interacting with any such Web site.

We also use third-party advertisements on alovemadehome.com to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use such technologies as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site.

Third-party vendors (including Google through Google AdSense) use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on a visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
