Who we are

AestheticWhirl (https://aestheticwhirl.com) is a home decor and interior design blog. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site and how we use it.

Information we collect

Contact form: If you send us a message, we collect the name, email address and message you enter so we can reply. We do not use it for anything else.

Comments: If you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to show your profile picture.

Usage data: Like most websites, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how long visits last.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager and Google Site Kit. These services use cookies to collect anonymous usage statistics. You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email and website in cookies so you don’t have to enter them again. These cookies last for one year.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content such as images or pins from Pinterest or other sites. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other site, and that site may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with it.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. Data is processed by the service providers that run this site: our web host (Hostinger) and the analytics services described above. If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.

How long we keep your data

Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to answer your enquiry. Comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal or security reasons. To make a request, use our contact page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
