Privacy Policy

01. Information We Collect

We collect information in a few ways:

• Information you give us directly, such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or sign up for updates.

• Information collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and how you interact with the Site, collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

• Information from third parties, such as when you click through to a vendor or shop featured on the Site and that vendor shares limited information back with us for affiliate tracking purposes.

02. How We Use Cookies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, and affiliate/advertising tracking. Some of our content includes affiliate links, including through Amazon Associates, ShareASale (operated by Awin), LTK, and ShopMy, and clicking these links may place a tracking cookie so we can be credited for a resulting purchase.

The Site may also embed videos, posts, or players from platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, and podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and these platforms may set their own cookies or collect information when you view or interact with that embedded content, governed by their own privacy policies. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie banner on the Site. For more on our affiliate relationships and paid partnerships specifically, see our Disclosure Policy.

03. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, send newsletters or updates you've signed up for, respond to your questions, understand how visitors use our content, and measure the performance of affiliate links and sponsored features.

04. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information with:

• Service providers who help us run the Site and our business, including Squarespace (our website host), website analytics providers, and any email marketing or newsletter platform we use to send communications (such as Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ConvertKit, Squarespace Email Campaigns, Flodesk, or similar services).

• Affiliate networks and partners, including Amazon Associates, ShareASale/Awin, LTK, and ShopMy, solely to track and credit purchases made through our links.

• Law enforcement or other parties when required by law or to protect our rights.

05. Third-Party Links and Content

The Site links to and embeds content from third parties, including featured designers, vendors, shops, and platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Facebook, LinkedIn, and podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to review their own privacy policies before providing them with information.
