What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown 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 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.

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.

Contact forms

If you use a contact form, you agree to sending the information you supply within that form.  We will only use that information to respond to you via a Live Sweet representative.

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 tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

Who we share your data with

We share non-identifying information as web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose in collecting this data is to better understand how visitors use the website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any 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.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

Your information is kept confidential and never sold.  We may use that data to send email newsletters to you or use your contact information to send you products that you have ordered.  You have the right to stop us from contacting you. We have the right to publish data that you have given us permission to use.

Additional information

How we protect your data

We disclose potentially personally-identifying only to employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services and that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using our site, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.  We are located in PA, USA.

What data breach procedures we have in place

As soon as a breach has been suspected, we will notify you.

What third parties we receive data from

We use embedded links from sites such as YouTube and also other social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.  Those sites may use cookies, and we have no control over their policies.

Third party links

Our website contains links to other websites. This privacy policy only applies to our site, so when you visit other websites, you should read their own privacy policy.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We use your data location and how long you use the site.

We may change this policy at any time.
