Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us.

It is Window Designs Etc. by Marie Mouradian’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Who we are

Our website address: https://www.windowdesignsetc.com.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

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. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact Forms

We encourage users to sign up for our newsletter or to use our Contact form to send us inquiries. This information is sent to us via a secured web form. Copies of form entries may be retained on the site and can be removed from the site’s database at any time upon request.

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or another direct contact from you.  We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us.  We will not share our information with any third party outside our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services or changes to this privacy policy.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Google Analytics cookies to note anonymized user behavior on the site typically do not expire for 2 years. On every subsequent visit to the site, the cookie’s lifespan is extended for the following 2 years. Users may also clear their cookies at any time, at which point a new 2 year length cookie will be created on the user’s next visit to Windowdesignsetc.com.

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 has visited the other website.

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

Analytics

Windowdesignsetc.com utilizes Google Analytics to anonymize site visitors and track behavior and events throughout the site. No identifying information is retained by Google’s services. All information is used to describe the number of visits the site receives, user behavior from page to page, bounce rates, and other conversion statistics.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

If you have any inquiries about your information and how to opt out of data collection or cookie management, please contact us:
