Welcome to The Appliance Dad. We prioritize your privacy and are dedicated to safeguarding your personal information. In this Privacy Policy, we describe the manner in which we gather, utilize, protect, and disclose information about you, and we outline your rights concerning your personal data.
Who We Are
Our website is located at https://theappliancedad.com, and we provide specialized advice on home appliances. This policy extends to all data that we collect via our website and through the services we provide.
Comments
When visitors choose to leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string created from your email address may be provided to see if you are using it. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you decide to upload images to our website, you should avoid doing so with images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download these images and extract the location data from them.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to having your name, email address, and website saved in cookies. This is for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded Content
Our articles may incorporate embedded content (for example, videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. This embedded content 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.
Data Sharing
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Data Retention
We retain comments and their metadata indefinitely for follow-up comments and historical referencing. For registered users (if any), we also store personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username cannot be changed). Administrators can see and edit information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, excluding data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Data Protection
We implement measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We periodically review our data collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures.
International Transfers
Your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13.
Data Breach Procedures
In the event of a data breach, we will take all necessary steps to ensure the effects are minimized and will notify affected individuals in accordance with applicable laws.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time. Your continued use of the Service after we post any modifications will constitute your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.
