Privacy Policy
At Lawngadget.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the circumstances under which we may share it.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://lawngadget.com
Lawngadget.com is a blog that publishes Amazon product reviews and buying guides in the fields of home improvement, lawn & garden, pets, and furniture.
We participate in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and related sites.
This means that when you click on certain links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at:
https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
When you log in, temporary cookies are used to check if your browser accepts cookies. Additional cookies are set to save your login information and display preferences.
Login cookies last two days, and display preference cookies last one year.
If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
When you edit or publish an article, a cookie is saved that stores the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Affiliate links on our site may also use cookies provided by Amazon or other partners to track clicks and commissions.
These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and are used solely to track referral traffic.
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 as if the visitor has visited that website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including if you have an account with them.
Use and transmission of your personal data
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Your data is only used to provide services, improve user experience, and maintain website security.
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profile.
All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username).
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 on our site, you can request to receive a file of your personal data, including information you’ve provided to us.
You may also request that we delete your personal data.
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.
Data related to affiliate links (such as clicks and conversions) may be processed by Amazon or other affiliate networks to track referrals and commissions.
These third parties may use cookies and analytics tools but do not receive personal data such as your name or email.
In some cases, website hosting or analytics providers (like Google Analytics, if enabled) may process data on servers located outside your country.
We ensure all third-party services comply with applicable data protection laws such as GDPR or CCPA.
