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.

Cookies – Cookies are usually small text files, given ID tags that are stored on your computer’s browser directory or program data sub-folders. Cookies are created when you use your browser to visit a website that uses cookies to keep track of your movements within the site, help you resume where you left off, remember your registered login, preferences, and other customization functions. The website stores a corresponding file (with same ID tag) to the one they set in your browser and in this file they can track and keep information on your movements within the site and any information you may have voluntarily given while visiting the website, such as email address.

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Necessary cookies – these cookies are required for you to be able to use some important features on our website, such as logging in. These cookies don’t collect any personal information.
  • Functionality cookies – these cookies provide functionality that makes using our service more convenient and makes providing more personalised features possible.

  • Analytics cookies – these cookies are used to track the use and performance of our website and services

Life’s Little Pleasures is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program (check disclosure to the side). This program uses cookies to track your purchases to the referral links I may provide in my posts. Amazon’s policy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GX7NJQ4ZB8MHFRNJ

Emails – Our website uses interactive forms in which you supply your first name and email address, giving your consent to receive emails from this website. We use that information only for the reason provided and your information is never shared with anyone unless faced with the situations explained below.

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. Our blog does not control nor have any access to that information.

  • In any other way we may describe when you provide the information.
  • For any other purpose with your permission.

Children

We do not intend to collect or knowingly collect information from children (a human being under the age of 16 years old). We do not target children with our services.

Who we share your data with

Disclosure of Your Information – We may disclose limited information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Life’s Little Pleasures and Struggles, our followers, or others.

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.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. For the purposes of our blog, we use Akismet. Check out their policy: https://akismet.com/privacy/

Changes to this policy

We reserve the right to make changes to this policy from time to time. We may revise and update this Privacy Policy if our practices change, as technology changes, or as we add new services or change existing ones. Please check back regularly to ensure you have an understanding of any new rules and conditions. By your continued use of our site, we will assume that you give your consent to the current policy which is mentioned as “effective” above.
