At TidyHavens (tidyhavens.online), your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data. We’ve written it in plain language because we believe you shouldn’t need a law degree to understand how a website treats your information.
Information We Collect
Information you share with us. When you use our contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this information only to read and respond to your message.
Comments. If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the name, email address, website, and comment text you provide, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, which help us detect spam.
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, our server automatically receives technical data such as your device type, browser, the pages you visit, and an approximate location derived from your IP address.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites work properly and remember your preferences. We use cookies to keep the site running smoothly, to remember your comment-form details if you choose to save them, and to understand which articles readers find most helpful so we can create more of them. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work, though a few features may be limited.
Comments
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it; the Gravatar service privacy policy is available on their website.
Contact Forms
Messages sent through our contact form go directly to our editorial inbox. We keep them for as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping afterward. We never sell your contact details, share them with advertisers, or add them to marketing lists without your permission.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos, images, or social media posts. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website directly: it may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
Analytics
We use privacy-conscious analytics to understand overall readership trends — for example, which organizing guides are the most helpful. This data is aggregated and statistical; it does not identify you personally. If we use a third-party analytics provider, that provider’s own cookies and privacy policy will apply.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to certain types of processing, or withdraw consent you previously gave. To make a request, simply contact us through our Contact page and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Please note that some data may need to be retained for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, contact messages are kept while your request is active and for a reasonable period afterward.
Children’s Privacy
TidyHavens is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children; if you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time as the site grows. The latest version will always be posted on this page, with the revision date shown at the top.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, please reach out through our Contact page. We read every message and will get back to you as soon as we can.
