Last Updated: April 2026


Who We Are

This privacy policy applies to Home Decor To Adore, accessible at homedecortoadore.com. Your privacy is important to me. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site, how it is used, and how it is protected.

By using this website, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.


Information We Collect

This website may collect the following types of information:

  • Personal information — such as your name and email address when you subscribe to the newsletter or fill out a contact form
  • Comment data — when visitors leave comments, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection
  • Usage data — such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and browser type, collected automatically through analytics tools
  • Cookies — small files stored on your device that help the site function and track usage patterns
  • Media uploads — if you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site

How We Use Your Information

Information collected is used to:

  • Send newsletters and blog updates you subscribed to
  • Respond to messages sent through the contact form
  • Detect and prevent spam on comments
  • Improve the website experience based on how visitors use the site
  • Display relevant advertisements through third-party ad networks

Comments

When you leave a comment on this site, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.


Cookies

This site uses cookies in the following ways:

  • Comment cookies — if you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year
  • Login cookies — when you log in, cookies are set to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days; screen option cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes all login cookies
  • Temporary cookies — when you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is set to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is removed when you close your browser
  • Editor cookies — if you edit or publish an article, a cookie is saved indicating the post ID of the article edited. It contains no personal data and expires after one day
  • Analytics cookies — used by Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site
  • Advertising cookies — used by ad networks to show relevant ads

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may not function properly as a result.


Embedded Content From Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, and articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited that website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.


Affiliate Links

Some posts on this site may contain affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products I genuinely believe in.


Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. Your information is only shared with the third-party services listed above as necessary to operate this website. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.


How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments — retained indefinitely along with their metadata
  • User profiles — if you register on this website, your personal information is stored in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except you cannot change your username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information
  • Newsletter subscribers — retained until you unsubscribe

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to:

  • Request an exported file of all personal data we hold about you
  • Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes
  • Correct or update your personal information at any time
  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
