Privacy Policy
Who we are
HomeBaristaMods (homebaristamods.com) is an independent coffee-equipment information and reference site. For privacy questions, contact [email protected].
What data we may collect
The data collected depends on how you use the site. It may include:
- Contact data — information you choose to send when you email us or use a contact feature, such as your name, email address, and message.
- Technical and security data — such as IP address, browser or device information, request logs, timestamps, and data needed to keep the site secure and operating.
- Analytics data — page views, sessions, engagement, scrolls, outbound-link clicks, and similar usage information where analytics is enabled and applicable consent or settings allow it.
- WordPress account data — if you have an authorized site account, WordPress may store account and authentication information needed to provide that access.
No direct product checkout
HomeBaristaMods does not currently accept product checkout or payment on this site, and it does not collect card or bank details for product purchases. If you follow a retailer, manufacturer, marketplace, affiliate, or Buy Me a Coffee link, you leave HomeBaristaMods and the third party's own privacy and payment practices apply.
Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand site usage and improve content. Current Site Kit settings use Enhanced Measurement, which can record events such as page views, engagement, scrolling, file downloads, and outbound-link clicks. Logged-in WordPress users are excluded from the site's Analytics snippet under the current configuration.
Analytics settings, consent requirements, and Google processing may vary by region and configuration. See Google's own privacy information for details about its services.
Why we use data
- To operate, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot the website.
- To respond to messages or requests you send us.
- To understand which guides, tools, and links are useful and improve site content.
- To comply with legal obligations that apply to the site operator.
Service providers and external sites
We may rely on hosting, WordPress-related services, analytics providers, and other technical providers to operate the site. When you choose to follow an external retailer, manufacturer, community, affiliate, or reader-support link, that third party processes information under its own privacy policy.
Cookies and similar technologies
WordPress and site services may use cookies or similar technologies for essential operation, security, preferences, and analytics. Where required, non-essential analytics or similar technologies should be subject to the applicable consent or settings available to you. You can also use browser controls to manage cookies.
Data retention
We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, site security and operation, dispute handling, or applicable legal requirements. Third-party providers apply their own retention settings and policies.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. These rights and their exceptions vary by jurisdiction. To make a privacy request, email [email protected].
International processing
Because internet services and providers can operate internationally, information may be processed in countries other than the one where you live. Relevant third-party privacy notices describe their own transfer and safeguard arrangements.
Children
HomeBaristaMods is not intended for children to use as a service requiring them to submit personal information. If you believe a child has provided personal information to the site, contact us so the issue can be reviewed.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site, providers, or applicable requirements change. The date below identifies this version.
