This Privacy Policy describes how Frank Cipriani, doing business as Home Gadget Finder (“we,” “us,” “our”), 1273 Pacific St., Brooklyn, NY 11216, United States, collects, uses, and shares information when you visit homegadgetfinder.com (the “Site”).
Information we collect
Information you provide directly: if you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address, and website (optional) you enter. If you subscribe to email updates, we collect your email address.
Information collected automatically: like most websites, we (and the third-party services we use) automatically collect standard technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages you view, via our hosting/CDN provider (Cloudflare), Jetpack (WordPress.com), and Google Analytics if enabled.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for functional, statistics, and marketing purposes. You choose which categories to allow when you first visit the Site, and can change your choice at any time on our Cookie Policy and consent preferences page, which lists every cookie and service we use in detail. We honor Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control signals from your browser.
How we use information
- To publish and respond to comments
- To send email updates to subscribers who opt in
- To understand how the Site is used and improve it
- To detect and prevent spam and abuse (via Akismet)
- To comply with legal obligations
Third-party services we use
Cloudflare (security and content delivery), Automattic/WordPress.com and Jetpack (hosting, security, and site features), Akismet (spam filtering), Gravatar (comment avatars — see below), Google Site Kit/Analytics (site statistics, if enabled), and Pinterest (where our content is shared off-site). Each operates under its own privacy policy governing data it processes on our behalf.
Comments and Gravatar
If you leave a comment on this site, the comment and its metadata (including your name, email address, and website if provided) are retained indefinitely, so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding every comment for moderation.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see whether you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Your IP address is included with any comment you leave and is retained for spam prevention and security purposes for as long as the comment remains on the site. If you would like your comment and associated data removed, contact us at the address below.
Affiliate disclosure
Home Gadget Finder 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. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal data we hold about you, to access or correct it, to have it deleted, to object to or restrict our processing of it, and to receive a copy of it in a portable format. We do not sell personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below; if you’re in the European Economic Area or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children’s privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
