Last updated
Lovely Hours is a blog about relationships, parenting, love and family. This page explains what personal data we handle when you visit, why, and the choices you have.
Who we are
Lovely Hours (“we”, “us”) publishes the website lovelyhours.com and is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at privacy@lovelyhours.com.
By using the site you acknowledge this policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the site.
What we collect
Data collected automatically
When you load a page, our hosting provider receives standard technical information so that the page can be delivered and the site kept secure:
- your IP address and approximate location, such as country or region;
- your browser type, device type, operating system and language;
- the pages you request, the page that referred you and the time of the request.
We use only aggregated, cookie-free statistics provided by our hosting provider to understand how many people read the site. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising tools at the moment.
Data you give us
If you write to us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We do not ask for, and ask that you do not send, sensitive information about your health, relationships or family.
Why we use it, and our legal basis
- Running and securing the site. We serve pages, prevent abuse and fix errors, based on our legitimate interest.
- Answering your messages, based on our legitimate interest.
Cookies
Right now Lovely Hours itself sets no cookies on your device and loads no analytics or advertising tools. Our hosting provider may use strictly technical cookies to keep the site secure. If we add tools that need your consent in the future, we will ask first and update this page. The details are in our Cookie Policy.
Hosting and service providers
The site is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare, Inc. (San Francisco, United States), which processes technical data on our behalf as described above. Cloudflare may process data outside your country. Where this happens, it relies on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. We do not sell personal data.
Your rights under the GDPR
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- ask us to erase your data;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing.
To use any of these rights, email privacy@lovelyhours.com. We answer within one month. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Retention and security
We keep correspondence for up to 24 months. Technical logs are kept by our hosting provider according to its own retention rules. We use HTTPS and limit access to personal data, but no system is completely secure.
Children
Lovely Hours is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has given us their data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. When we do, we change the date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we will say so on the home page.
