Privacy Policy

Our website address is: https://howtolivesober.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your personal information is safe.

When visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if you use Gravatar) may appear publicly next to your comment.

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

For your convenience, if you leave a comment you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies so you don’t need to re-enter them next time. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.

If you log in, several cookies will be set to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie (with no personal data) will be saved, indicating the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

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

These websites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with their content. We encourage you to review their privacy policies if you interact with embedded content.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing. If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

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

If you create an account (if offered in the future), we store the personal information provided in your profile. You can edit or delete this information at any time (except your username). Website administrators may also access this information to provide support.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase this data, except for information we are required to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
