1. What Information We Collect
When you visit Blanket Hour, we may collect a few basic pieces of information to help the blog run smoothly:
- Information You Provide: If you leave a comment on a post or sign up for an email update, you voluntarily give us your name and email address.
- Automated Information: Like almost every website, our servers automatically record basic technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you read while you are here.
2. How We Use Your Information
We absolutely do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone. The data we collect is used strictly to:
- Keep the website running securely.
- Respond to your comments or questions.
- Understand site traffic so I can see which posts are actually helpful to other parents.
- Filter out automated spam.
3. Cookies and Tracking
Blanket Hour uses cookies. These are tiny text files saved to your phone or computer to improve how the site works. They help the site remember if you have left a comment before and allow us to use standard analytics tools to count visitors. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings at any time, and the site will still mostly work just fine.
4. Third-Party Services
We use secure third-party services for things like website hosting and counting page views. These companies only access the information they need to do their specific jobs and are legally required to keep your data private.
5. Your Data Rights
If you have left comments or given us your email address, you can ask for a copy of that data at any time. You can also ask us to delete any personal data we have saved about you, except for anything we have to keep for legal or security reasons.
