House of Calm is a blog focused on cozy decor, small apartment inspiration, organization ideas, and home styling tips.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you purchase through these links, at no extra cost to you. We only share products and recommendations that we genuinely believe may be useful or inspiring for our readers.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from uploaded images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies may be set up to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen option cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply identifies the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Analytics and Tracking

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Pinterest analytics, and other tracking technologies to better understand how visitors use our website and to improve user experience.

These services may collect anonymous information such as browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent on the site.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, or social media posts. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the external website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or trade your personal information.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

Visitor comments may also be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we may store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for changing their username. Website administrators may also view and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
