How We Protect Your Information

Happy Home Fairy uses standard security protocols and works only with reputable third-party vendors.

How Information Is Collected

• If you subscribe to Happy Home Fairy’s newsletter
• If you leave a comment on the blog
• If you purchase my eBook, The Kindness Antennae
• Through website cookies and log files
• Through Google Analytics

I use the information you provide to deliver the requested product and/or service, to improve our overall performance, and to provide you with offers, promotions, and information.

Subscriber Newsletters

If you join Happy Home Fairy’s newsletter, you will be required to give your first name and email address. I require your email address to send you the emails, and I require a first name so that the emails will be more personal.

Your data is collected and then passed on to MadMimi, my email service provider. You can read their privacy policy here. I sometimes use tags within MadMimi to track your actions and page visits so that future emails can better meet your needs.

I usually send 1-2 emails emails per week (less since I got pregnant – ha!). Occasionally I will send additional emails about special offers.

Your email and name are never sold, rented, leased, or given away to a third party.

At the bottom of each newsletter you will find information about how to contact the sender, as well as a link to unsubscribe. You may unsubscribe at any time.

Blog Comments

When you leave a blog comment, your comment is public and visible. Your email address is never disclosed unless you include it in the main body of the comment. Your name and comment (as well as your URL, if you provide it), are visible to anyone who visits the comment section. Please avoid leaving any personal information in your comments.

Your details will remain in the database unless I remove it or you request to have it removed.

I reserve the right to remove or edit comments at my discretion. These may include comments containing profanity, harassment, threats, self-promotion, or spam.

Shop Purchases

Payments are made through Paypal. Read their privacy policy here.

This service is used for payment processing on the purchase of my eBook. At no time is your banking information passed to Happy Home Fairy. We receive only information used for order fulfillment and reporting.

Information about your purchase is stored indefinitely. This way I can resend the files any time you request them. Only your name and email address is stored on my site.

Cookies may collect information including the date and time of your visit, the pages viewed, time spent on the site, and your IP address. This site also reserves the right to use social media pixels which allow social media sites to track visitors to outside websites. This helps tailor the advertising messages you see when visiting those social media sites.

Google Analytics

Happy Home Fairy uses Google Analytics to track website performance and behavior. It provides information on page views, referral sources (such as another website or a social media site), your device (i.e. mobile or desktop), browsing actions, and other information that helps me adapt the content I write for this site.

Google Analytics collects anonymous information about your location, age, gender, IP address, and interests. I have no way to connect that information to you personally. Read about Google Analytics’ data retention policy here.

Links to Third Party Websites

I include links to third party websites for your use and reference. I am not responsible for the privacy policies on these sites. Be aware that their privacy policies may be different than that of Happy Home Fairy.

Advertisements

Because of the crazy number of hours I put into this blog (because I love helping others!), I feel that it is fair that I am compensated through advertising and product reviews. Third party advertisements are used on this website. I currently run ads through Adthrive. Adthrive may use cookies or web beacons when they advertise on this site in order to show ads that would most interest you. Happy Home Fairy does not control Adthrive’s tracking technologies or how they may be used.

Social Media

Happy Home Fairy posts information on various social media platforms. Happy Home Fairy is not responsible for your privacy when you post on its social media channels.

When I May Transfer Your Personal Data

I will not transfer your personal data unless I am under legal obligation to do so.
