About Gold Dust Interiors and this notice
Gold Dust Interiors is an editorial website. We publish articles about interiors and furniture. We do not run an online store, accept orders, host user accounts for visitors, or show advertising. Comments are not open on our posts.
This policy explains what reaches our servers when you browse the site or contact us, how we use that information, and the choices available to you.
What comes to us when you visit the site
When you load a page, our web host and the content delivery network that serves images and pages record standard server logs. These logs typically include your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page or file requested, and technical details sent by your browser (such as user agent and referrer). We use these logs to deliver the site, measure uptime, prevent abuse, and diagnose performance or security issues.
We do not run analytics, advertising pixels, or affiliate trackers on this site.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses minimal cookies. WordPress sets session cookies for the single registered administrator so they can log in and manage the site. Visitors who simply read the site should not receive non-essential cookies from us.
Our caching layer or CDN may use strictly necessary cookies to keep the site fast and reliable. You can control cookies in your browser settings; blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site loads.
If you email us
If you write to us, we receive the contents of your message and the email metadata needed to route the message (such as your address, the sending service, and time sent). We use this information to read and respond to your inquiry, and to keep a record of the conversation where reasonably needed for reference or legal purposes.
There is no contact form on the site. Email is the way to reach us.
Why we use this information
• To operate, secure, and debug the website (server and CDN logs).
• To reply to correspondence you initiate (emails you send to us).
Where data protection laws require a legal basis, we rely on our legitimate interests in running a functional, secure website and on your consent or request when you choose to contact us.
Who can see your information
Access is limited to site administrators and service providers that run the site for us, such as our web host, content delivery network, and email providers. These providers process information on our behalf to deliver the website and email. We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with advertisers.
How long we keep it
Server and CDN logs are kept for a short period to ensure security and reliability and may be retained longer when investigating abuse or technical issues. Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and maintain reasonable records. Routine backups made by our host or CDN may retain data for a limited time as part of service operations.
Your choices and rights
• You can block or delete cookies in your browser.
• You can request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, delete it, or restrict or object to certain uses, subject to applicable law.
• You can contact us to exercise these rights. If your local law provides a right to complain to a data protection authority, you may do so.
Children’s privacy
Our content is aimed at an adult audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page. The most recent version will always be available at this address.
