Privacy Policy

    Effective Date: 18 July 2025

    Welcome to Lady Yarns Alot (https://ladyyarnsalot.com). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

    1. Information We Collect

    Personal Information You Provide:

    • Email address and name are collected through contact forms or when you sign up for newsletters.
    • Comments you leave on blog posts, which may also include your IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection.
    • Information that you choose to make public is — you guessed it — disclosed publicly.
    • Public information may also be indexed by search engines or used by third parties.
    • Please keep all of this in mind when deciding what you would like to share publicly.

    Automatically Collected Information:

    Our website may use cookies, log files, and analytics tools (including those provided by WordPress and third-party plugins) to gather:

    • Browser type
    • IP address
    • Pages visited
    • Referring/exit pages
    • Date/time stamps
    • Device type

    This information is generally non-personally identifiable and used for analytics and optimization purposes.

    2. How We Use Your Information

    We may use the information we collect to:

    • Respond to your inquiries via our contact form
    • Send email updates, newsletters, and marketing messages (if you opt in)
    • Improve our website and user experience
    • Display relevant advertising and affiliate product suggestions
    • To communicate with you. For example, by emailing you to ask for your feedback, share tips for getting the most out of our products, or keep you up to date on Lady Yarns Alot, if you don’t want to hear from us, you can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

    3. How Long We Keep Information

    We generally discard information about you when it’s no longer needed for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we’re not legally required to keep it.

    4. Email Marketing

    We may use platforms such as Flodesk or Mailchimp to send newsletters and promotions. If you subscribe to our emails, your information will be stored with those services. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in each email.

    5. Comments

    When you leave comments, WordPress stores your input along with metadata like your IP address to help detect spam. Your profile picture (if linked via Gravatar) may be publicly visible.

    6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

    Our site, hosted on WordPress, may use cookies to:

    • Keep you logged in (if applicable)
    • Remember your preferences
    • Provide relevant ads via third-party ad networks
    • Analyze visitor behavior through built-in or third-party analytics

    By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies unless disabled in your browser settings.

    7. Ads and Analytics Services Provided by Others

    Ads appearing on any of our Services may be delivered by advertising networks. Other parties may also provide analytics services via our Services. These ad networks and analytics providers may set tracking technologies (like cookies) to collect information about your use of our Services and across other websites and online services. These technologies allow these third parties to recognize your device to compile information about you or others who use your device. This information allows us and other companies to, among other things, analyze and track usage, determine the popularity of certain content, and deliver ads that may be more targeted to your interests. Please note this Privacy Policy only covers the collection of information by Lady Yarns Alot and does not cover the collection of information by any third-party advertisers or analytics providers.

    8. Third-Party Services

    We may share information with third-party services solely for the purposes of operating our site or fulfilling services, including:

    • Google Analytics or WordPress analytics plugins (for tracking website performance)
    • Amazon Affiliates Program (we earn a commission on qualifying purchases)
    • Email marketing providers (Flodesk or Mailchimp)

    We do not sell or trade your personal information.

    Under GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to:

    • Access your personal data
