Your privacy is very important to us. At Hidden Hollow we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
– We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
– We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
Hidden Hollow operates one website: https://hiddenhollowhome.com. It is Hidden Hollow’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
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.
Like most website operators, Hidden Hollow collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Hidden Hollow’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Hidden Hollow’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Hidden Hollow may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Hidden Hollow also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Hidden Hollow only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Certain visitors to Hidden Hollow’s website choose to interact with Hidden Hollow in ways that require Hidden Hollow to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Hidden Hollow gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive Hidden Hollow updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Hidden Hollow collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Hidden Hollow. Hidden Hollow does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Hidden Hollow discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Hidden Hollow’s behalf or to provide services available at Hidden Hollow’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Hidden Hollow’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Hidden Hollow will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Hidden Hollow discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Hidden Hollow believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Hidden Hollow, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Hidden Hollow website and have supplied your email address, Hidden Hollow may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Hidden Hollow and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Hidden Hollow takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Hidden Hollow uses cookies to help Hidden Hollow identify and track visitors, their usage of Hidden Hollow website, and their website access preferences. Hidden Hollow visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Hidden Hollow websites, with the drawback that certain features of Hidden Hollow websites may not function properly without the aid of 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.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie 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, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your 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
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, 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.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
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.
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.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
The minimum age to use our website is 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or use personal data from children under 18 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 years of age, the personal data will be deleted as soon as possible. If a child under 13 years of age has provided us with personal data, their parent or guardian may contact our privacy officer.
If you would like your data to be deleted or modified in any way, please contact our privacy officer here:
