Plain language data policy
Privacy
Trusted Home Essentials collects only the information needed to run the newsletter, moderate comments, secure forms, and understand site performance.
Information you provide
Newsletter signup stores the email address you submit and the page source of the signup. Comment submission stores the display name, comment text, optional email address, moderation status, and submission time. Comment email addresses are kept private.
Security and spam prevention
A one way technical fingerprint may be created from connection information to rate limit abusive submissions. It is used for form security and is not published with a comment.
Affiliate links and third parties
Clicking an Amazon or manufacturer link takes you to a third party site. That site applies its own privacy and cookie policies. Affiliate link parameters allow the retailer to attribute qualifying purchases.
Analytics
Site performance tools may record general usage information such as page views, referring source, browser type, device category, and country. Trusted Home Essentials does not ask visitors to submit sensitive personal information.
Your choices
Every newsletter message will include an unsubscribe option. A reader may also request removal of a submitted comment or private email by replying through the contact method included in the newsletter or site correspondence.
