At TheInteriorGuide.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all other applicable privacy laws. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the rights you have as a user of our services.
When you interact with TheInteriorGuide.com, you may provide us with personal information in several ways. For example, when you create an account to save moodboards, we collect your name, email address, and password. When you contact us via email, forms, or feedback requests, we collect the details you provide, including the content of your messages. If you upload or save images to your personal moodboard, we store that content on your behalf.
In addition to the information you provide directly, we automatically collect certain details when you visit our website. These details may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device information, pages you view, the time you spend on those pages, referring websites, click activity, and approximate location data derived from your IP address. Such information is collected through cookies, log files, and similar tracking technologies.
We may also receive information about you from other sources, for example when you engage with our content on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for a variety of purposes. Essential cookies are required to make the site function properly, such as enabling login and moodboard features. Analytics cookies, provided by Google Analytics, help us understand how our site is used and enable us to improve performance. Advertising cookies, used by Google AdSense, allow us to provide relevant, personalized advertising. Finally, social media cookies enable sharing and interaction with external platforms. You can manage or disable cookies at any time through our cookie banner or your browser settings, but please note that some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
We use the information we collect to provide, personalize, and improve our services, to manage and secure user accounts, to display advertising that matches your interests through Google AdSense, to communicate with you about updates, content, or newsletters if you choose to subscribe, and to maintain the security and integrity of our site.
We share your information only with trusted service providers, such as hosting companies, analytics partners, and email providers, with advertising networks such as Google AdSense, with social media platforms if you interact with their plugins, and with public authorities where required by law. We do not sell personal data.
Your account data remains active as long as you maintain an account with us. You may delete or deactivate your account at any time. Log data, analytics, and cookies may be retained for business, analytical, or legal purposes for as long as reasonably necessary.
If we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
Our services are not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
We take technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. Although we strive to ensure the security of your information, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
As a user, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request corrections or deletions, to withdraw consent for data processing where applicable, to restrict or object to our processing activities, and to request a copy of your data in a portable format. You also have the right to opt out of personalized advertising and marketing communications. Requests to exercise these rights can be made by contacting us.
