At Styben House, we take your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit our website at www.stybenhouse.com, use our services or products, or interact with us in any other way.
Information We Collect
We may collect various types of personal information about you, including:
- Contact Information: your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address;
- Payment Information: your credit card or other payment information;
- Purchase Information: your order history and purchase preferences;
- User Information: your IP address, device type, and browsing behavior;
- Communication Information: any communication that you send to us.
Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously and have implemented measures to protect it. One of the ways we do this is by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology.
When you visit our website, all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted with SSL, which ensures that your information remains confidential and secure. SSL is an industry-standard protocol used to encrypt and protect sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, login credentials, and other personal data.
By using SSL encryption, we are able to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. It also ensures that any communication between your browser and our servers cannot be intercepted or tampered with by third parties.
In addition to SSL encryption, we have implemented other security measures to safeguard your personal information, such as regularly monitoring our systems for security threats and vulnerabilities, limiting access to personal information to only those who need it, and maintaining physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect against unauthorized access.
However, please note that no transmission of data over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information. We recommend that you take appropriate measures to protect your personal information as well, such as using strong passwords, not sharing your login credentials with others, and being cautious when providing personal information online.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
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.
