Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 6, 2023

Thank you for visiting Good Advice. We are committed to protecting your privacy and want to be transparent about the information we collect and how we use it.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address. When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) as visitors can download and extract this information from the images.

2. Use of Information

We use the personal information you provide to us to operate and improve our website. We may also use it to communicate with you and send promotional emails if you have given us permission to do so. The data collected from comments and uploaded images is used for moderation, spam detection, and ensuring a safe browsing experience for our visitors.

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. However, we may share it with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

4. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. 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 you don’t have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year. When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

6. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Our articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles) from other websites. This embedded content behaves in the 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 the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

7. Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users who register on our website, we 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.

8. Your Rights

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. However, this does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

9. Third-Party Services

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

10. Updates to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on our website with the updated date.

If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please contact us at contact information.
