Last updated: 2026-09-27
This Privacy Policy explains how Interior Design Decor DIY Guide ("we", "us", "our"), available at https://interiordesigndecordiyguide.com, collects, uses and protects information when you visit our website.
Information we collect
- Information you provide: your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, and your name, email and message when you use the contact form.
- Automatically collected information: like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, date and time) for security and operation.
- Cookies and similar technologies: used by our advertising partners, as described below.
- Local browser storage: our calculators and budget planner store your inputs and unit preference in your own browser (localStorage). This data never leaves your device and is not sent to us.
How we use information
- To send the newsletter and checklists you requested (you can unsubscribe at any time).
- To reply to your messages.
- To operate, secure and improve the website.
- To show advertising that helps keep the site free.
Advertising: Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
- Learn how Google uses data: How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitors from the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent through a consent management platform before personalized ads and non-essential cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time through the privacy/cookie settings link shown by that platform.
Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)
We process personal data based on your consent (newsletter, personalized advertising), our legitimate interests (site security, answering enquiries), and legal obligations where applicable.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us run the site (hosting, email delivery, advertising), under appropriate safeguards, or when required by law.
Retention
Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are kept as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards. Server logs are kept for a limited time by our host.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state privacy laws such as the CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. To exercise these rights, email us at contact@interiordesigndecordiyguide.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA), and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top shows when it was last changed.
