This Privacy Policy is intended to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage and delete it.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://thingswarehouse.com.
Introduction to Privacy Policy
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data marked in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to Gravatar to see if you use the service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be publicly visible along with your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images that contain internal location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download these images from the site and extract their location data.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on the site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
When you log in to this site with your account, the system temporarily sets a cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. The system does not store any personal data in this cookie and discards it automatically when you close your browser.
When you log in to your account on the site, we will also set several cookies to save your account information and your screen display choices. The system sets login cookies for two days and screen options cookies for one year. When you select “Remember Me,” the system keeps your access active for two weeks. However, when you log out of your account, it automatically removes the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, your browser will save an additional cookie. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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 and embed additional third-party tracking. They may also monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This includes your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
When you request a password reset, our system automatically includes your IP address in the password reset email to enhance security and verify the authenticity of the request.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, the system stores both the comment and its metadata indefinitely. We do this so we can recognize and automatically approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
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 this information.
What rights you have over your data under our Privacy Policy
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 excludes any data we must keep for administrative purposes. This also excludes legal or security reasons stated in our Privacy Policy.
Where your data is sent
An automated spam detection service actively reviews visitor comments to identify and filter out any potential spam, ensuring a safer and more reliable user experience on the site.
