Last Updated: 23-02-2025

1. Who We Are
Our website is located at: https://myehf.com/. At Elements Home Furnishings (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

2. Information We Collect and Why

• Comments:
  When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser’s user agent string. This helps us prevent spam and abuse. An anonymized version of your email (a hash) may also be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it, with its own privacy terms (available at https://automattic.com/privacy/).

• Media Uploads:
  If you upload images to our website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) so that such details are not inadvertently shared.

• Contact Forms:
  When you fill out a contact form or sign up for our newsletter, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and phone number) so that we can respond to your inquiries and send you relevant updates.

• Cookies:
  We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. For example, if you leave a comment or log in, cookies may store your details for convenience. These cookies typically persist for a set period (for example, one year for comment cookies or two weeks for “Remember Me” login cookies). You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but note that some parts of our site may not function correctly without them.

3. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our website may include embedded content (such as videos or articles) from third-party websites. Such embedded content behaves as if you visited the other site directly and may collect data about you. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these external sites.

4. Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve our services and tailor content to your interests. These tools might automatically collect data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited.

5. Data Sharing and Use

• Password Resets:
  If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to help secure the process.

• User Profiles:
  For registered users, the personal information provided in your user profile is stored securely. You can view, edit, or delete your personal data at any time (except for your username, which remains fixed).

• Third-Party Services:
  We may share your data with trusted service providers who help us operate our website (for example, for hosting or spam detection). These third parties are contractually obligated to keep your data confidential and only use it as needed for their services.

6. Data Retention
We retain your comments and related metadata indefinitely to enable us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically. User profile data is maintained as long as your account is active. If you request deletion of your personal data, we will comply except for data we are legally required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Your Rights
If you have an account or have left comments on our site, you have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask for corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal data (except for information we must keep for legal or security reasons).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email address].

8. How We Protect Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal information. While we strive for absolute security, please understand that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
