Who we are

Our website address is: https://honestlyhome.com.
HonestlyHome is a blog focused on home improvement, kitchen tools, and lifestyle product reviews. We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Comments

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

An anonymized hash created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

 

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) since visitors to the website can download and extract location information from images.

 

Cookies

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and analyze website traffic through third-party tools such as Google Analytics. Cookies may also be used to track affiliate clicks in accordance with Amazon’s operating agreement.

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

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine whether your browser accepts cookies. It is discarded when you close your browser.

Additional cookies may be set to remember your login information and screen display choices if you have an account. Login cookies last two days, and screen-options cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.

 

Affiliate Disclosure & Tracking

HonestlyHome participates in the Amazon Associates Program and other potential affiliate programs. This means:

  • When you click an affiliate link on this website, a cookie may be placed on your device.

  • This cookie is used to track referrals and allow us to earn a commission—at no additional cost to you.

  • These cookies are managed by Amazon and/or the respective affiliate network.

We do not control these third-party cookies, but they are used solely for tracking and attribution purposes.

 

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, images, product widgets, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content if you are logged in to those platforms.

 

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Your data may be shared only in the following cases:

  • Spam detection services (e.g., Akismet)

  • Analytics and tracking tools (Google Analytics, Amazon Associates cookies)

  • Email service providers (if you subscribe to our newsletter)

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

 

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on the website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except usernames).

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 the personal data we hold about you.

You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

 

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked by an automated spam-detection service.

Affiliate link clicks may be processed by Amazon or other affiliate networks, which may place tracking cookies to attribute sales.
