Affiliate Disclosure
This site, Happy Barker, is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that when you click on an affiliate link on our site (which directs you to Amazon) and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions are essential for helping us maintain and operate this website, allowing us to continue providing product reviews and content.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is collected 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 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 may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, in a comment), 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.
Cookies
This site uses cookies to enhance your experience and support its operations.
- 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.
- Affiliate Cookies: When you click on an affiliate link (such as a link to Amazon), a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any resulting purchases for the purpose of assigning commission. These cookies are managed by our affiliate partners (e.g., Amazon) and are necessary for us to earn revenue.
- Analytics Cookies: We may use third-party analytics services to understand how our website is used. These services may use cookies to collect data about your interaction with our site.
You can choose to disable or turn off cookies through your individual browser settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, product widgets, 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 tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with the following third parties for specific purposes:
- Spam Detection Services: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Affiliate Networks: As part of the Amazon Associates Program, when you click an affiliate link, Amazon will receive data (such as the fact that you came from our site) and may use cookies, as detailed in their own privacy policy.
- Analytics Providers: We may use services like Google Analytics to help us analyze website traffic and usage patterns.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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 your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. As noted above, your data may also be processed by third-party services such as analytics providers and affiliate partners (like Amazon), which may be located outside of your home country.
