Who We Are

Welcome to All Things Handy, a local handyman service based in Utah. Our website address is: https://www.allthingshandyutah.com.

What Information We Collect & Why

Comments & Contact Submissions

When visitors leave a message or comment via our contact form, we may collect:

• Name, email address, and phone number (if provided)
• IP address
• Browser user agent information

We use this data solely to respond to your inquiries, help prevent spam, and enhance communication.

Media Uploads

If you send images (e.g., via contact form), please avoid including location metadata (EXIF GPS), as it can be extracted.

Cookies

We use cookies for functionality and convenience:

• Comment form cookie: Remembers your details (name/email) for one year.
• Login cookies: If applicable, store login sessions (2 days) and "Remember Me" (2 weeks).
• Editor action cookie: If content is edited, a cookie may track post ID for a day.
• Testing cookie: A temporary cookie to confirm cookie acceptance.

Embedded Content

Our site may feature embedded content (videos, images, etc.) from platforms like YouTube. Their behavior is controlled by those third-party platforms and may collect data as if you visited their site directly.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share personal data with third parties. If you request a password reset, your IP may be included in the email for security purposes.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely. If you register an account, you can view, edit, and delete your information at any time. Administrators may also manage your data as needed.

Your Rights Under Utah Law (UCPA)

While the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (effective Dec 31, 2023) applies to larger businesses — typically those with annual revenues exceeding $25M or processing personal data of 100,000+ Utahns — it's our goal to follow good-faith practices aligned with the law:

• You can request access to your personal data or ask to have it deleted.
• If your request requires additional time, we'll let you know within 45 days.
• If any sensitive personal data is processed, opt-out rights are available.

Visitor comments may be vetted using an automated spam detection service.

Compliance & Website Users

We comply with privacy practices inspired by best practices outlined in Utah privacy law. We strive to make our privacy practices transparent, clear, and accessible.
