Data Collection and Usage

Comments and Reviews

When you leave comments or reviews on our site, we collect the data shown in the form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. Your review may be checked through Akismet, an automated spam detection service. The Akismet privacy policy is available here: https://akismet.com/privacy/. 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 to display a profile picture. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment or review is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your submission.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the website can download and extract this information from the images.

Affiliate Link Disclosure

At ShaaniCreates, we believe in full transparency, and we want to be upfront about any affiliate relationships that may exist with third-party companies. As such, we may participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase through those links.

These affiliate links do not add any additional cost to your purchases; rather, they allow us to earn a small commission from the affiliate company as a way of supporting our website’s maintenance and content creation. Please note that our commitment to providing valuable and authentic information remains our top priority, and we only promote products or services that we genuinely believe in and have personally tried or thoroughly researched.

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, the products or services offered by third-party companies are subject to change without notice. Therefore, we cannot be held responsible for any discrepancies or changes related to the products or services promoted on affiliate websites.

To ensure full transparency, you can always assume that any link leading you to products or services is an affiliate link, and we may earn a commission from your purchase. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our affiliate relationships or the products and services promoted on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us.
