Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Dwell & Decor (https://dwellanddecor.com) is a home decor publication serving readers in the United States and United Kingdom. For any privacy question, contact us at info@dwellanddecor.com.

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the name, email address, and website shown in the comments form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Contact Form

When you send us a message through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, inquiry type, and message content so we can respond to you. We never share this information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience, so you do not have to fill in your details again. These cookies last for one year. We also use cookies to remember basic site preferences.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or social media posts. Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you had visited that website directly, and it may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with it.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand our readership — for example, which articles are popular and how long visitors stay. This data is aggregated and anonymous, and it is never sold to anyone.

Advertising and Affiliate Links

We display advertising, including through Google AdSense. Advertising partners may use cookies to show you relevant ads and measure their performance. Our buying guides may also contain affiliate links: if you purchase through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep our content free.

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 location data from images on the website.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your inquiry. For registered users (if any), we store the personal information provided in the user profile.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us, or ask us to erase it. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Under the GDPR and CCPA you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information and to opt out of any sale of it — we never sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email info@dwellanddecor.com.

Children’s Privacy

Our content is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page.
