An anonymized string created from your email address (hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service (Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/). After approval, your profile picture (if using Gravatar) may be visible publicly alongside your comment.
• Contact Forms: If you contact us via a contact form, we collect the information you provide, typically including your name, email address, and the content of your message, in order to respond to your inquiry.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

Kiplet.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. This means that we may earn a commission if you click on or make purchases via affiliate links on our Site. Clicking these links may place cookies on your browser for tracking purposes, as described above. Please see our dedicated: https://kiplet.com/affiliate-disclosure/ for more information.

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.
