Privacy Policy

1. What This Policy Covers

This policy applies to dwellcraft.com and any subdomains operated by Dwellcraft. It covers information collected through the website, newsletter signup forms, and contact forms.

It does not cover third-party websites, including Amazon.com, even when you reach those sites through our affiliate links. Once you leave our site, the privacy policy of the destination site applies.

2. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

Information you provide directly: When you submit the contact form or sign up for our newsletter, we collect your name and email address. We do not require account creation and do not collect payment information.

Information collected automatically: When you visit the site, our analytics tools collect your approximate location (city/country level), the pages you visit, the time you spend on each page, the device and browser you use, and the source that brought you to the site. This is standard web analytics data.

We do not collect your precise location, your real name unless you provide it, or any information from your device’s camera, microphone, or contacts.

3. How We Use It

We use the information we collect to:

• Understand which reviews are most useful so we can write more of them
• Respond to questions submitted through the contact form
• Send our newsletter to subscribers who have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time)
• Identify and fix technical problems with the site

We do not sell your information. We do not use it for advertising targeting. We do not share it with third parties except as described in Section 6.

4. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies for two purposes: site analytics (understanding how visitors use the site) and functionality (remembering your preferences, such as the active category filter on the blog page).

We use Google Analytics to analyze site traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to track sessions. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on or by using a browser with built-in tracker blocking.

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or any cookie that tracks you across other websites.

5. Amazon Associates Disclosure

Dwellcraft participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

When you click a link to Amazon on this site and make a purchase — any purchase, not just the product we linked — we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission does not influence what we review or what we recommend. Every piece of furniture in our reviews was purchased at retail price before any commission relationship existed with that product.

Prices on Amazon change frequently. We cannot guarantee that any price shown on this site matches the current price on Amazon. Always verify the current price before purchasing.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics — web traffic analysis. Google’s privacy policy
• Google Fonts — typeface loading. Google receives a request when you load a page on this site. Google’s privacy policy
• Newsletter service — if you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored with a third-party email platform. We will specify the platform here once selected.
• Form processing — contact form submissions are processed by a third-party form service.

7. How We Protect Your Data

This site is served over HTTPS. Contact form submissions and newsletter signups are transmitted over encrypted connections. We do not store payment information because we do not accept payments.

We cannot guarantee absolute security for any data transmitted over the internet. If you believe your data has been compromised, contact us at the address in the contact form.

8. GDPR Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — you can ask us to delete your data
• Right to restriction — you can ask us to restrict how we process your data
• Right to portability — you can ask for your data in a machine-readable format
• Right to object — you can object to our processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, use the contact form on this site. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Your Controls and Choices

• Newsletter: Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. Click it to be removed immediately.
• Cookies: Your browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality.
• Analytics: Install the Google Analytics opt-out extension, or use a browser with built-in tracking protection (Firefox, Brave, Safari with Enhanced Tracking Protection).
• Contact form data: If you have submitted a contact form and want your information deleted, contact us and we will remove it within 7 days.

10. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information through this site, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
