Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information DecoratorAdvice com collects, how we use it, and what choices you have. We’ve written it in plain language because legal boilerplate helps no one.
What We Collect
Information you give us directly If you contact us via email or a contact form, we collect your name and email address. We use this only to respond to your message. We don’t add you to a mailing list without your explicit consent.
Information collected automatically Like most websites, DecoratorAdvice.com collects basic technical data when you visit: your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on site. This data is collected through standard analytics tools and used in aggregate — we look at traffic patterns, not individual user behavior.
Cookies We use cookies to understand how visitors use the site and to improve content. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Some site functionality may work differently if you do.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to messages and inquiries
- To understand which content is most useful to readers
- To improve site performance and user experience
- To detect and prevent technical issues
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-Party Services
DecoratorAdvice.com uses third-party tools including Google Analytics for traffic data and standard hosting services. These providers have their own privacy policies that govern their data practices. We recommend reviewing them if you have specific concerns.
Any affiliate links on this site are disclosed. Clicking them does not share your personal information with us beyond what standard analytics already capture.
Data Retention
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form per the default settings of our analytics provider.
Your Rights
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what data we hold and the right to request deletion. Contact us at jessica@decoratoradvice.ca to make a request.
Children’s Privacy
DecoratorAdvice.com is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
