Privacy Policy

    Welcome to Pine Gable. Your privacy matters to us, so this page explains in plain words what information we collect when you visit our home decor blog, how we use it, and what choices you have.

    If you use our website, it means you agree with what is written here.

    Information we collect

    We collect only what we need to run this blog and make it better for you:

    • Contact details. When you use our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we receive your name and email address.
    • Usage data. Which pages you visit and how long you stay, collected through analytics tools.
    • Cookies. Small files on your device that help the site remember your choices. There is more about cookies below.
    • Comments. If you leave a comment, we receive the name and message you write.

    How we use your information

    We use this information to send our newsletter and reply to your messages, but only when you have asked us to. We use it to understand which decor ideas our readers love, so we can write more of what helps you. And we use it to keep the website safe, fast, and working properly.

    We will never sell your personal information to anyone. Ever.

    Cookies

    Cookies are small text files that make websites work better. We use three kinds:

    • Essential cookies, which the site needs in order to function.
    • Analytics cookies, which show us how visitors use the site, through Google Analytics.
    • Advertising cookies, which our advertising partners such as Google AdSense may use to show relevant ads.

    You can control cookies through the consent banner on our site or through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may change how the site works.

    Third party services

    We use a few trusted services, and each of them follows its own privacy policy. Google Analytics measures our traffic. Google AdSense shows ads on our pages. And if you subscribe, a newsletter service looks after our email list.

    If you would like the full details, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of each service.

    Our promise: We treat your information the way we would want ours treated. No selling, no spam, no shady business. If you ever want your data removed, just ask.

    Data sharing

    We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Data is shared only where it has to be: with the services that help this site run, who are bound to keep it confidential, or when the law requires it.

    Your rights

    Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

    • Ask what personal data we hold about you.
    • Ask us to correct it or delete it.
    • Take back your consent at any time, for example by unsubscribing from our newsletter.
    • Ask for a copy of your data.

    To use any of these rights, reach us through the contact details at the end of this page. We answer every request.

    Children’s privacy

    This blog is written for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared personal data with us, please tell us and we will remove it.

    Changes to this policy

    Sometimes this policy will change, because our practices change or the law does. When that happens, the date at the top of this page changes with it. It is worth checking this page once in a while.

    Contact us

    If anything on this page is unclear, or you have a question about your own data, please write to us through our Contact page. We would love to hear from you, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
