Who We Are
Welcome! This blog is run by Vanessa Facendola. Our website address is: www.tinyhappyfam.com — a space dedicated to wellness, motherhood, lifestyle, and speech-language support.
What Personal Data We Collect & Why
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (or hash) from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will appear next to your comment. Read Gravatar’s privacy policy here.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can potentially download and extract that info.
Contact Forms
If you submit a contact form, we collect your name, email, and message contents for customer service purposes — but we do not use this information for marketing without your permission.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on the site. For example:
-
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience.
-
Login and screen preference cookies help improve user experience and expire based on activity (ranging from 1 day to 1 year).
You can clear cookies anytime through your browser settings.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Posts on this site may include embedded content (like YouTube videos, Instagram posts, or articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the original site, which may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to track site performance and user behavior. This helps us improve content and understand what you love most.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your data. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you request a password reset (for registered users), your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How Long We Keep Your Data
-
Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely.
-
Registered users can edit or delete their profile info anytime (except their username).
-
Admins can also view and manage that information.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an export of your personal data or ask that we erase it — unless we’re required to keep it for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Goes
Your data may be processed through secure tools and services like anti-spam filters or web hosts. We use common, secure methods to keep it safe.
Additional Information
How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information, including secure site hosting, plugin updates, and spam monitoring.
Data Breach Procedures
In the event of a breach, we’ll take immediate steps to notify affected users and work with appropriate services to secure all data.
Third-Party Data
We may receive anonymous data through analytics platforms or affiliate tools, but nothing that personally identifies you unless you choose to share it.
Automated Decision-Making
We don’t use automated profiling or decision-making tools that affect your data.
Regulatory Disclosure
This blog complies with FTC guidelines regarding affiliate marketing and user data.
