6. 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.

7. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

  • Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to our website and other sites on the internet.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to BalanceHustle and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

8. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

9. 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 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.
