PaigeFinds is a blog about finding good deals, run by one person. This page explains in plain language what information the site collects, why, and what you can do about it. If anything here is unclear, email hello@paigefinds.com and I will explain it.
Who runs this site
PaigeFinds is a personal blog published at paigefinds.com. The best way to reach me about anything on this page is hello@paigefinds.com.
Comments
If you leave a comment on a post, the site stores the name, email address and website you type in, along with the content of your comment. It also records your IP address and browser details, which helps catch spam.
Your email address is never published. A scrambled version of it may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture; their privacy policy is at automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible next to it.
Your browser may save your name, email and website in cookies so you do not have to type them again next time. These last about a year, and clearing your browser cookies removes them.
Emails you send me
If you email hello@paigefinds.com, that message is forwarded to my personal inbox using a service called ImprovMX. I keep those emails so I can reply and, if you have shared a deal, follow up on it. I do not add you to any mailing list, and I do not sell or share your email address.
Visitor statistics
This site uses Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand how many people visit and which posts are useful. They tell me things like how many visitors a page had, roughly what part of the world they came from, and whether they arrived from Google. I see totals and trends, not individual people, and I cannot use them to identify you.
Google sets cookies to do this. You can read how Google handles that data at policies.google.com/privacy, and opt out with their browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Sharing buttons
Posts have buttons for sharing to Facebook, Pinterest, email, or copying the link, provided by AddToAny. If you click one, that company may set its own cookies. Simply viewing a page does not share anything about you.
Affiliate links and deals
Some posts may contain affiliate links, meaning PaigeFinds could earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Any post containing affiliate links will say so clearly. Prices and penny deals change constantly and vary by store, so nothing here is a guarantee.
Security
The site uses a plugin that limits repeated failed login attempts, which records IP addresses for that purpose. The site is served over a secure (https) connection.
How long information is kept
- Comments and their details are kept indefinitely, so follow-up replies still make sense.
- Emails you send me are kept until I no longer need them to reply.
- Visitor statistics are held by Google under their own retention settings.
Your choices
If you have commented here, you can ask me for a copy of the information I hold about you, or ask me to delete it. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under laws such as GDPR or the CCPA. Email hello@paigefinds.com and I will sort it out, at no charge.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site will still work.
Changes to this policy
If the way this site collects information changes, I will update this page and change the date at the top.
