Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 19, 2026

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://sweethomekitchen.com

We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through affiliate links on this site.

Amazon Associates Program Disclosure

This website contains affiliate links to Amazon.com. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support our site and allows us to continue providing product reviews and recommendations.

The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate links or go directly to Amazon. We only recommend products that we believe will provide value to our readers.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s name, email address, and IP address. This information helps us manage and moderate comments effectively.

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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Comment retention: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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 on the website.

Cookies

When 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 that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, 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, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click on Amazon affiliate links on our site, Amazon may set cookies in your browser to track the referral. These cookies are governed by Amazon’s privacy policy, not ours. We do not have access to or control over these cookies.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites 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.

Analytics

We may use analytics services to track and analyze website traffic patterns. This helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve the user experience. Analytics data is collected in an anonymized format and does not personally identify individual users.

How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect to:

  • Manage and moderate comments on our blog posts
  • Improve our website content and user experience
  • Communicate with you if you contact us
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Prevent spam and abuse

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share your personal data with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

  • Amazon: When you click on affiliate links, you are directed to Amazon.com, which is governed by Amazon’s privacy policy
  • Service providers: We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website (e.g., hosting providers, email services)
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights

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

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

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

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 any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Your rights include:

  • The right to access your personal data
  • The right to correct inaccurate data
  • The right to delete your data
  • The right to restrict processing of your data
  • The right to data portability

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.
