Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information HomesThrone.com (“Home Throne,” “we,” “our” or “us”) collects, how we use it, who we share it with and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to this policy.
On this page
1. Information We Collect
You can read our articles without telling us who you are. We collect information you choose to share — for example your name and email address when you email us or leave a comment — and information collected automatically when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring website, and the date and time of your visit.
2. How We Use Information
- to operate, maintain and improve our website and content;
- to understand which articles are most helpful;
- to respond to your messages and correction requests;
- to display and moderate comments and ratings;
- to show advertising and measure its performance;
- to protect the site from spam, fraud and security threats;
- to comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to keep the site working, remember preferences, measure traffic, serve and measure ads, and attribute affiliate purchases. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work properly without them.
4. Advertising
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of many third-party vendors’ cookies at aboutads.info.
- Other advertising networks we work with may also use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. We do not control these technologies; please review those networks’ own privacy policies.
5. Analytics
We use analytics tools, which may include Google Analytics (through Google Site Kit) and privacy-friendly, cookie-less statistics, to understand how visitors use our site. These tools collect information such as pages viewed and referring sources, usually in aggregate. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
6. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
HomesThrone.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a link to Amazon or another retailer, you leave our site, and that site may set its own cookies to track purchases. Their privacy policies, not ours, apply on their websites.
7. Comments and Ratings
When you leave a comment, we collect the information in the comment form plus your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. Comments may be checked by an automated spam-detection service (Akismet). An anonymized string created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to show your profile picture. If you rate an article, we may store a technical identifier to prevent duplicate votes.
8. How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, analytics, spam protection and advertising), with affiliate partners when you click their links, and with authorities when required by law or to protect our rights and users.
9. Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Emails are kept as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping; comments are kept until deleted. We use reasonable safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage online is completely secure.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, receive a copy of your data, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under certain U.S. state laws.
EU, UK and EEA residents have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR and may complain to their local data protection authority. California and other U.S. state residents have rights under laws such as the CCPA/CPRA. We honor requests regardless of where you live and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. To make a request, email us at homesthrone@gmail.com; we may need to verify your identity.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in some regions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy from time to time and will revise the date above when we do. Questions about this policy? Email homesthrone@gmail.com or visit our Contact Us page.
