Who we are
Sharing the Savings is a shopping-advice and affiliate-content website operated by Kristen in New Jersey, United States. Our website is https://www.sharingthesavings.com. For privacy questions, email kristen@sharingthesavings.com.
Information you choose to share
When you contact us by email or through our contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject, message, and any other information you include. We use this information to respond to your inquiry and keep a record of the conversation. Please do not send payment details, passwords, or other sensitive information.
The contact form uses Contact Form 7 to send your message to our business email. Contact Form 7 is not configured to store a separate database of submissions on this site. Copies of email messages may remain with our email provider and in backups. Sending a contact message does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
Comments
On posts where comments are enabled, we collect the information entered in the comment form, including your name, email address, comment, and any optional website address. WordPress also collects the commenter’s IP address and browser user-agent information to help detect spam and abuse.
Comments require approval before appearing publicly. Your displayed name, approved comment, and any website link you provide may be visible to other visitors. Your email address is not displayed publicly. Please do not include private or sensitive information in a comment.
We may decline or remove spam, abusive comments, or other inappropriate content. Comment avatars are currently disabled.
If you choose the option to remember your details, WordPress saves your name, email address, and website in browser cookies for approximately one year. These cookies are optional and make it easier to leave another comment. Leaving a comment does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
Technical information and security
Our hosting provider, DreamHost, and site-security tools, including Wordfence, may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser information, requested pages, timestamps, and security events to deliver the site, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot problems. WordPress uses cookies for functions such as administrator login.
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to help protect our contact form from spam and automated abuse. Turnstile processes technical signals, including your IP address, browser information, and information about the site where the check runs, to distinguish legitimate visitors from bots. For details, see Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
Google Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and improve our content. Information collected may include pages visited, interactions with the site, browser and device information, approximate location, and cookie identifiers used to distinguish visits.
Google processes this information to provide website usage reports. For more information, see Google’s explanation of Analytics data collection and Google’s Privacy Policy.
Analytics is configured to remain blocked until you consent to statistics cookies. You can decline these cookies and still read our content.
Cookies and consent choices
We use Complianz to display cookie choices and remember your preferences. Essential cookies may be used to record those choices and support website operation and security. Optional statistics cookies are used for Google Analytics after you consent. Optional comment cookies are described above.
You can accept or deny optional cookies through the consent banner, or select individual categories under “View preferences.” You can change your choices later using the site’s “Manage Consent” control.
Withdrawing consent stops future Analytics collection under our consent settings; it does not automatically delete information already collected. You can also delete cookies or block them through your browser settings. Deleting consent cookies may cause the banner to appear again, and blocking some cookies may affect site functions.
Fonts and third-party links
This site uses Google Fonts. When font files are loaded from Google, your browser connects to that provider and shares technical information such as your IP address and browser request details.
Our articles may contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon. When you follow a link, the destination website operates under its own privacy policy and may use cookies or similar technologies to process purchases or attribute referrals. Our consent controls do not manage cookies on those external websites.
We do not receive your payment-card information or access to your retailer account. Read our Affiliate Disclosure for more about these relationships.
Newsletter
I use MailerLite to manage newsletter subscriptions and send my weekly newsletter and occasional updates. When you subscribe, MailerLite collects your email address and, if the form asks for it, your name. I use email confirmation to verify your subscription.
MailerLite processes this information on my behalf. You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email. Contacting me or leaving a comment does not subscribe you to the newsletter. See MailerLite’s privacy policy for how it handles data.
How information is shared and retained
Information may be processed by service providers that help us host, secure, back up, and operate the site, provide analytics with your consent, or deliver email. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect rights and security.
We keep contact correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to handle the inquiry, maintain relevant records, or meet legal and security needs.
Comments and their associated information may remain stored until removed, including while the related discussion remains available. You may contact us to request deletion. Copies may remain temporarily in backups after removal from the active website.
Analytics information, technical logs, and backups follow the applicable service settings and retention cycles. Because we operate in the United States and use service providers, information may be processed in the United States or other locations where those providers operate.
Your choices and requests
You can choose not to submit a form or comment, decline optional cookies, and change your consent choices later.
To ask about information you have provided, or request access, correction, or deletion, email kristen@sharingthesavings.com. For comment requests, please identify the relevant post and comment.
We may need to verify the request before acting on it. Your rights and any applicable exceptions depend on the laws that apply to you.
Children
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so we can address it.
