Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://myhousebetter.com.
My House Better is a blog focused on Home Improvement, Furniture, Lawn & Garden, and Pet Products. We publish product reviews, buying guides, and recommendations that may include affiliate links to Amazon and other third-party retailers.
Amazon Affiliate Disclosure
My House Better is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our affiliate links. This comes at no extra cost to you. We may also promote other affiliate products relevant to home and lifestyle improvement.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can review their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images available on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience—so you don’t need to fill in your details again later. These cookies last for one year.
When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
If you log in, we use cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen options cookies last for a year. Choosing “Remember Me” keeps your login for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish a post, an additional cookie will be stored to record the article ID you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or links). Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to their site.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We do not sell or rent user data to third parties. However, data may be shared with trusted services (like analytics or spam detection tools) to maintain site performance and security.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically approve future comments instead of holding them for moderation.
If you register an account, your provided personal information is stored in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their data at any time (except for the username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data we hold, including any data you’ve provided. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold.
This excludes data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Analytics data may be processed by trusted third-party tools like Google Analytics or Amazon Associates for performance tracking.
