Who we are

Suggested text: Our website address is: https://www.trustedhomepicks.com.

TrustedHomePicks is a blog dedicated to providing in-depth reviews, comparisons, and recommendations for home improvement tools, furniture, lawn & garden equipment, and pet products.

We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, which means we may earn commissions when users click on affiliate links and make purchases through Amazon, at no additional cost to you.

Comments

Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

Additionally, comments may relate to product reviews and user experiences with recommended items such as tools, furniture, garden equipment, or pet supplies.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify usage. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media

Suggested text: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.

For product-related submissions (e.g., showcasing home setups, furniture, or pet products), we recommend ensuring no sensitive data is included in images.

Cookies

Suggested text: 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 you do not have to re-enter your details. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies will be set to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies last for a year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after 1 day.

We may also use cookies to track affiliate link performance and improve the relevance of product recommendations across categories like home improvement, furniture, lawn & garden, and pet products.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, product listings, etc.). Embedded content behaves the same as if you visited the external website directly.

These third-party websites, including Amazon, may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction—especially if you click on affiliate product links or are logged into their platform.

Who we share your data with

Suggested text: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not sell or rent your personal data. However, certain data may be shared with trusted third-party services (such as spam detection tools or affiliate platforms like Amazon Associates Program) strictly for functionality, analytics, and commission tracking.

How long we retain your data

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments.

For registered users (if applicable), personal information is stored in user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except usernames). Website administrators can also access and manage this information.

What rights you have over your data

Suggested text: If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase your personal data.

This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

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

Additionally, interactions with affiliate links may be tracked by third-party platforms such as Amazon to ensure proper attribution of commissions.
