Who We Are

HomeGained is a blog that shares expert reviews, comparisons, and recommendations on products related to home improvement, furniture, lawn & garden, and pet care.
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated websites.
This means we may earn a small commission when you purchase products through our affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as 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 see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your Gravatar profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze traffic, and personalize content.
Some cookies may be placed by our affiliate partners, such as Amazon, to track clicks on affiliate links and record commissions.
These cookies do not store personal information and are used solely for tracking and analytics purposes.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may affect certain features or functionality of the site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

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

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 any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
