Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is:
https://www.mypracticalliving.com

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check 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 (if linked to Gravatar) may be 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 published on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page (if applicable), a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in (if applicable), several cookies will be set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Affiliate Links

Some pages on My Practical Living may contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon and other third-party retailers. Clicking on these links may place cookies on your device to track referrals and purchases. This does not result in any additional cost to you.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset (if applicable), your IP address will be included in the password reset email.

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.

You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

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

Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, legal requirements, or data practices. Any updates will be posted on this page.
