Privacy Policy & Cookies

Who we are

Happily Ever After Romance is a romance novel review website.  We do not sell any product directly to visitors.

We do have affiliate links to sites like Amazon should you desire to purchase something you read about on our site.

Our website address is   http://www.happilyeverafterromance.com.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Happily Ever After Romance does not collect personal data beyond your name, email address, or IP address should you leave a comment on a post.

Since there are Amazon affiliate links onsite, Amazon may collect information when you click on a link.  That information is not available to me and is beyond my control to change.

By default, WordPress does not collect any personal data about visitors, and only collects the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. (but that’s MY information, not yours)

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.

Cookies

If 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.

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.

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.
