Privacy Policy

 

Last Updated: July 19, 2025

We value your privacy and want to be transparent about how we handle your information when you visit our website, ahippiefarmer.com. Our goal is to create a trustworthy and enjoyable space for our community.

 

Information We Collect

To run our site and understand our audience, we collect a small amount of information in a few key ways.

 

Information You Provide

  • Comments: When you leave a comment, you provide your name, email address, and optionally, a website. We collect this so we can display your comment and help prevent spam. An anonymized version of your email (a “hash”) is sent to the Gravatar service to see if you have a profile picture, which will then appear with your comment. You can read the Gravatar privacy policy here.

 

Information Collected Automatically

  • Analytics: We use Google Analytics to get a general sense of how visitors use our site. This tells us things like which blog posts are most popular, how people find us, and what type of device they’re using. All of this data is anonymous and helps us create better content for you. We use Google’s official Site Kit plugin, which anonymizes your IP address.

 

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that your browser saves to make your experience on our site smoother.

  • If you leave a comment, you can opt-in to save your name and email in a cookie. This is purely for your convenience, so you don’t have to re-type it all next time.
  • Google Analytics also uses cookies to gather the anonymous traffic data mentioned above.

You can always manage or delete cookies through your browser’s settings.

 

Embedded Content & External Links

Our articles may contain embedded content (like YouTube videos) or links to other websites that we think you’ll find useful, such as Patreon or Amazon.

Please know that these other websites have their own privacy policies. When you click a link and leave our site, our privacy policy no longer applies.

 

Data Retention and Your Rights

If you leave a comment, it and its associated data are kept indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.

You always have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the comment data we have for you.
  • Request that we erase your comment and its associated personal data.

This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

 

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.
