Thank you for visiting our website. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.

Who We Are

This site is operated by Rediscovering Happiness, LLC based in Washington State.

Information We Collect

Comments
When you leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as your 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 use it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and support site functionality.

Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

Login: When you visit the login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we use cookies to save your login status and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen option cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends your login for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Publishing: When you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie saves the post ID of the article. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some features of the site may not function properly.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that external site.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email sent to you for security verification purposes.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties unless legally required or essential for site functionality.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and auto-approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

User Accounts: If you register on our site, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (username changes are not permitted). Website administrators can also access and modify this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments on this site, you can request:

A copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Deletion of your personal data (excluding data we are required to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes).

To exercise your rights, please contact us at: hello@rediscoveringhappiness.com.
