Our website address is: http://printyourstory.com.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
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 detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may be able to download and extract location data from these images.
Contact forms
We use personal information shared through contact forms to communicate with you, respond to your inquiries, and provide relevant support or updates.
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.
Download tracking
When you download files from this website, we may log certain information to prevent abuse and ensure the proper functioning of our services. This may include:
- IP address
- Date and time of download
- Referring page (where you came from)
This data is used solely for security and analytics purposes and is not used to personally identify visitors.
We retain this information for a limited period and do not share it with third parties.
Our legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in protecting our website from bots and preventing misuse.
Embedded content from other websites
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.
We use YouTube to showcase tutorial videos on our website, which you can access by visiting our site. By using our website, you acknowledge and agree that we may use cookies to improve your browsing experience.
Who we share your data with
We use Google Analytics to gather information about how visitors use our website. This helps us improve our content and user experience. Google Analytics may collect data such as your IP address, the pages you visit, how long you spend on the site, and the referring website.
This information is used solely for analysis and improvement purposes. We do not share this data with third parties, and we will never sell your personal information.
Advertising
We use Mediavine to display ads on our website. They may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
We do not control how third-party advertisers collect or use your data, but we encourage you to review their individual privacy policies for more information.
Affiliate links
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, including those from Amazon. This means we may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase – at no extra cost to you.
PrintYourStory.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
These affiliate links help support the work we do on the blog. We only recommend products that we personally use or genuinely believe will be helpful to our readers.
How long we retain your data
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.
What rights you have over your data
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.
