Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent

Advertising Policy
Jill’s Homesounds is committed to providing its readers with honest, unbiased information about home audio products and solutions. As part of this commitment, we have established the following advertising and disclosure policies:
Affiliate Partnerships
Jill’s Homesounds is a participant in various affiliate programs, which means we may receive a small commission if you make a purchase through one of our affiliate links. This comes at no additional cost to you.
We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will benefit our readers. Our affiliations do not influence the objectivity of our reviews or the advice we provide. We will always disclose any affiliate relationships clearly and prominently.
Sponsored Content
On occasion, Jill’s Homesounds may publish sponsored content, such as product reviews or sponsored posts. In these cases, we will clearly label the content as “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” to distinguish it from our organic, editorial content.
Sponsored content will be created with the same level of care and attention to detail as our regular blog posts. However, the sponsor will have some input on the content, and we may receive compensation for its creation and publication.
We will never knowingly publish misleading or deceptive sponsored content. Our readers’ trust is of the utmost importance, and we will always strive to maintain transparency about any sponsored elements on the site.
Third-Party Advertising
Jill’s Homesounds may display third-party advertisements on our website. These ads are managed by advertising networks and are not directly endorsed or controlled by us.
While we vet our advertising partners to the best of our ability, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or appropriateness of all advertisements. If you have any concerns about a particular ad, please let us know, and we will investigate the issue.
Transparency and Integrity
Above all, Jill’s Homesounds is committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and editorial integrity. We will always strive to clearly disclose any potential conflicts of interest or commercial relationships that could influence the content we publish.
If you have any questions or concerns about our advertising policies, please don’t hesitate to contact us at jill@jillshomesounds.com. We value your trust and are dedicated to providing you with the most reliable and trustworthy home audio information possible.
