Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2025

At Trimmer Picks, your privacy is important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit my website.

Who I Am

My website address is: https://www.trimmerpicks.com

Comments

When you leave a comment, I collect the data you enter in the comments form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked through Gravatar) may be publicly visible next to your comment.

Media

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

Cookies

I use cookies to improve your browsing experience and display relevant ads.

  • If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
  • If you log in, I set cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected). Display option cookies last one year.
  • If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article. It expires after one day.

Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies

I use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

For more information on how Google uses your data, visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

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

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with their content, especially if you’re logged into those services.

Who I Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long I Retain Your Data

  • If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This helps me automatically approve follow-up comments.
  • If you register (if registration is available), I store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username).
  • Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data I hold. You can also request that I erase any personal data, except for information I must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a request, please email me at: contact@trimmerpicks.com

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Third-Party Advertising & Tracking

I use third-party advertising services, like Google AdSense, that may collect non-personally identifiable information such as:

  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on site

This helps serve relevant ads to you.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), I obtain your explicit consent before placing cookies or collecting personal data.

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct or delete your data

A cookie consent banner is displayed in compliance with GDPR requirements.

If you live in California, under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) you have the right to:

  • Know what personal data I collect
  • Request deletion of your data
