Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://sparkyhomes.com.
SparkyHomes is a blog that publishes product reviews, comparisons, and buying guides related to home improvement, furniture, lawn & garden, and pet products. Our goal is to help readers make informed purchasing decisions through helpful content and recommendations.
SparkyHomes participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated websites. This means that some links on our website are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through these links at no additional cost to you.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images on the site.
Cookies
Our website may use cookies to improve your browsing experience.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies may last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.
When you log in, we may set up cookies to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies may last for two days, while screen option cookies may last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login may persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, 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 edited. It expires after one day.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Tracking
Some pages on SparkyHomes contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon and other retailers. If you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.
Amazon and other affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals from our website in order to properly credit commissions. These cookies do not provide us with access to your personal purchasing information.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles from third-party websites.
Embedded content behaves the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell, trade, or rent users’ personal information to others.
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. In some cases, data may be processed by trusted third-party services used for website functionality, analytics, spam protection, or affiliate tracking.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be 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 store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also access and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.
You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. In addition, certain third-party services used by our website (such as analytics providers or affiliate networks) may process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
