Who we are

Our website address is: https://insidehomelife.com (“InsideHomeLife”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We publish informational content and Amazon product reviews in the Home & Lifestyle Essentials category.

Affiliate disclosure (Amazon Associates Program)

InsideHomeLife 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 properties (for example, Amazon.com and related regional Amazon stores). This means that when you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Amazon and other third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to track your interaction with affiliate links and to attribute purchases for commission purposes. For more information about Amazon’s data practices, please refer to Amazon’s privacy policy.

Comments

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

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Media

If you upload images to the website (for example, in a comment or user profile area), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can potentially download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We use cookies to improve site functionality, remember preferences, help prevent spam, measure traffic, and support affiliate link tracking.

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

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

When you log in (if enabled), we set cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies typically last for two days, and screen options cookies may last for up to a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login may persist for up to two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies are removed.

If you edit or publish an article (for site administrators/authors), an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It typically expires after one day.

Affiliate links to Amazon and other partners may set cookies or use similar technologies on your device to track referrals and attribute purchases. This tracking is controlled by the third party and is subject to their privacy policies.

Analytics and performance tracking

We may use analytics tools (such as website analytics plugins or third-party analytics providers) to understand how visitors use our site, improve content, and measure the performance of our reviews and pages. These tools may collect information such as pages visited, time on site, referral source, approximate location (city/region), device type, and browser information. Where required, we rely on consent mechanisms provided by cookie banners or your browser settings.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example: videos, images, product widgets, maps, social posts, or other content). 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, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers only when necessary to operate and secure the site (for example: spam filtering, hosting, analytics, or email delivery services). These providers process data on our behalf and are expected to protect it.

If you request a password reset (if accounts are enabled), your IP address may be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services.

When you click affiliate links, third parties (such as Amazon) may collect information directly from you and/or your device for tracking and attribution purposes. We do not control these third-party technologies and recommend reviewing their privacy policies.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically and maintain discussion history.

For users that register on our website (if any), we 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 may not be able to change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Server logs and security records (such as IP addresses and request metadata) may be retained for a limited period for troubleshooting, fraud prevention, and security purposes.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase your personal data. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

If you want to withdraw cookie consent (where applicable), you can do so via your browser settings and/or the cookie banner controls (if enabled). You can also disable cookies in your browser, but some site features may not work as intended.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Depending on the service providers we use (such as hosting, analytics, or email tools), data may be processed or stored in countries outside your own. We take reasonable steps to work with reputable providers and to protect information as required by applicable law.
