The Estate Diary ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at theestatediary.com (currently hosted at pinterest-blog-psi.vercel.app), a home, interior, and exterior design publication. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. When you submit our contact form we collect your name, email address, and message. If you subscribe to our newsletter we collect your email address.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers may collect basic technical data such as your browser type, device, approximate region, and pages viewed, for security and to understand how the site is used.
Preferences stored on your device. We store your chosen language and light/dark theme locally in your browser (local storage). These never leave your device and are not used to track you.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, to send our newsletter when you have opted in, to operate and improve the website, and to keep it secure. We do not sell your personal information.
3. Use of the Pinterest API
Our application integrates with the Pinterest API to create, schedule, and organize Pins and boards on the Pinterest account(s) we are authorized to manage. We access only the data necessary for this purpose — such as account information, boards, and Pins belonging to the authorized account — and we use it solely to publish and organize our own design content. Pins we create link back to the corresponding articles on our website.
We handle all Pinterest data in accordance with the Pinterest Developer Guidelines and the Pinterest Developer & API Terms. We do not sell, rent, or share Pinterest data with third parties, and we retain it only as long as needed to provide the service.
4. Affiliate links and advertising
Some pages contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We may also display advertising from third-party ad networks. These third parties may set their own cookies and collect usage data subject to their own privacy policies.
5. Third-party services
We rely on a small number of providers to run the site, including our hosting platform (Vercel), our contact-form delivery service (Web3Forms), web fonts (Google Fonts), and the Pinterest platform. Each processes data under its own privacy policy.
6. Data retention
We keep contact-form messages for as long as necessary to respond to and follow up on your request. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe, which you can do at any time using the link in any newsletter or by emailing us.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable time.
8. Children's privacy
This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. International users
We may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where required, we take steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
