Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 22, 2026

At HobbiesDay (http://hobbiesday.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and manage your data when you visit our website, leave comments, or interact with our services.

Who We Are

Our website, HobbiesDay, is dedicated to providing hobby enthusiasts with guides, resources, and inspiration for pursuing their passions. Our website address is: http://hobbiesday.com. We are committed to safeguarding the personal information of our visitors and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience while using our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including your name, email address, website (if provided), and the content of your comment. We also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can read the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After a comment is approved, your profile picture (if available via Gravatar) may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in your images. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images, so removing this information helps maintain your privacy.

Cookies

HobbiesDay uses cookies to improve your browsing experience:

  • Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login cookies: If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • Persistent login cookies: When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
  • Post-edit cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. This cookie expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, or social media posts. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to their service.

Who We Share Your Data With

In some cases, your data may be shared to provide or secure our services. For example:

  • If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.
  • Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services to prevent abuse and maintain website integrity.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
  • Registered users: For users that register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also access and edit user information to provide support or maintain the website.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on HobbiesDay or have left comments, you can:

  • Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.
  • Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

Please note that we may retain certain information for administrative, legal, or security purposes, as required by law.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services. These services help prevent spam and malicious activity while maintaining the integrity of the website.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to stay informed of how we protect your data.
