Summary
Welcome to https://helenahunting.com, we take your online privacy seriously. You may visit this site anonymously as often as you like without providing any personally identifying information (such as your name, address or e-mail address). We do not collect personally identifying information from you except when you specifically provide it, and we protect the information we receive. We also use cookies to identify your browser so that we can provide the best link to our site. Please read below for a further explanation of what information we gather and how we use it. We will not sell or rent your name or address to third parties not affiliated with https://helenahunting.com.com.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it:
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.
Contact forms
The only information collected via our contact form is the information you provide (name and email). This information is protected and will never be sold or rented to a third party.
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 have an account and you log in to this site, 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. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
External links
This privacy policy is valid only for the content of https://helenahunting.com. The website may occasionally include third party links to provide additional services and content. These third-party websites have their own privacy policy and we encourage you to check it out. The owner of this website cannot guarantee or verify the contents of any externally linked website, and has no responsibility or liability for the content of these websites.
Affiliate links
Please note that the buy links for Amazon included in various sections of this website are affiliate links. Although this means that when you purchase through those links, the owner of this website receives a small commission from Amazon; in no way does it mean a higher price for you.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data

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.
