Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how candle-wick-trim-journal.hub2.day (“WickTrim”, “the site”, or “we”) handles information when you use our browser-based candle burn quality journal and timer. We designed WickTrim to be lightweight and practical, so we try to collect as little personal data as possible while still keeping the site functional and secure.

Information You Provide Directly

WickTrim lets you record candle names, wick lengths, burn hours, fragrance notes, container wear observations, and timer entries. By default, this information is stored locally in your browser using technologies such as localStorage. It is not automatically sent to our servers or to third parties.

If you contact us at hello@candle-wick-trim-journal.hub2.day, we will see the email address you use and any information you choose to include in your message. We use that information only to respond to your request and to improve the site.

Server and Security Logs

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record limited technical information when you visit, such as:

• Approximate IP address or truncated IP
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL or page
• Date and time of access
• Requested pages or resources

These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and basic performance monitoring. They are not used to build individual profiles of visitors.

Cookies and Local Storage

WickTrim may use cookies and local storage to:

• Remember your preferences and journal entries in your browser
• Support site functionality such as timers and settings
• Store your consent choices for advertising and analytics where applicable

We do not use cookies solely for cross-site tracking. However, third-party services integrated into the site (such as advertising) may set their own cookies, as described below.

Google Advertising (Google AdSense)

WickTrim uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.

Google may collect and use data according to its own policies, including through cookies such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie. This can include information about your visits to this and other websites to serve more relevant ads.

You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your ad personalization settings at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://www.google.com/settings/ads.

GDPR / EEA / UK Consent

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or another region with similar laws, we rely on your consent before setting non-essential cookies or similar technologies used for advertising or analytics.

Where required, we will present a consent mechanism that allows you to:

• Accept or reject non-essential cookies
• Change your preferences later

Essential cookies or storage needed for basic site functionality (such as saving your journal entries in your browser) may be used without separate consent, as they are necessary for the service you requested.

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@candle-wick-trim-journal.hub2.day.

CCPA / CPRA Rights (California)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) may give you additional rights, such as:

• The right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used
• The right to request deletion of personal information
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

WickTrim does not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, the use of third-party advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain interpretations of the law. If you wish to opt out, you can:

• Adjust your cookie consent choices where provided
• Use industry opt-out tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page
• Contact us at hello@candle-wick-trim-journal.hub2.day with your request

Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers for:

• Hosting and infrastructure
• Security and abuse prevention
• Advertising (such as Google AdSense)

These providers may process limited data on our behalf, but only to the extent necessary to provide their services. They are not authorized to use your information for their own independent purposes.

Data Retention

Your journal entries and preferences stored in your browser remain until you clear your browser data or use any reset features provided by the site.

Server and security logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for security, troubleshooting, and operational purposes, and are then deleted or anonymized.

Information you send by email is retained only as long as needed to address your request and to maintain a reasonable record of communications.

Children’s Privacy

WickTrim is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@candle-wick-trim-journal.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information processed by WickTrim, including using secure connections (HTTPS) and following common security practices. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

WickTrim may contain links to third-party websites, such as candle brands, retailers, or informational resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

International Processing

WickTrim is operated from and accessed in various countries. If you use the site from outside the country where our infrastructure is located, your information may be transferred to and processed in a different jurisdiction. By using the site, you acknowledge this transfer.

Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the site after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated notice.
