Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 8, 2025

At The DIY Era, your privacy is a top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.thediyera.com

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 detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/

After your comment is approved, your profile picture may become publicly visible in the context of your comment.

Media

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

Cookies

We use cookies to improve your browsing experience and display relevant ads.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
  • If you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected), and screen options cookies last one year.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article. It expires after 1 day.

Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their embedded content — especially if you’re logged into that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

If you register on our website (if available), we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except your username).

Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data we hold. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you – excluding any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a request, please email us at: contact@thediyera.com

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

These services may collect non-personally identifiable information, including:

  • Browser type
