Privacy Policy

Havenbrook Decor ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit havenbrookdecor.com, how we use it, and the rights you have over your personal data. By using our site, you agree to the practices described below. This policy was last updated in 2026.

Who We Are

Havenbrook Decor is an independent home and interior décor content site. We publish reviews, buying guides, and product recommendations. As an affiliate site, we may earn a commission when you click certain links and make a purchase from third-party retailers, at no additional cost to you. We do not sell products directly.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate our site, understand how visitors use it, and support our affiliate relationships. This falls into the following categories.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies for three main purposes:

Essential cookies: These are strictly necessary for the site to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. The site cannot run properly without them, and they do not require your consent.
Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our content — for example, which pages are most popular and how people move through the site. This data is aggregated and helps us improve our guides and layout. Analytics cookies are only set with your consent.
Affiliate cookies: When you click an affiliate link, our partner retailers may place a cookie that credits us for any resulting purchase. These cookies allow the retailer to recognize that you arrived through Havenbrook Decor. They are set by the third-party retailer and are used only for commission tracking.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings or our on-site consent tool. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from reading our content.

Usage Data

We collect information about how you use our site, such as the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, the links you click, and the referring website that brought you here. This usage data is used in aggregate to measure the performance of our content and improve the visitor experience.

Device and Technical Information

When you visit, we may automatically receive certain technical details from your device, including your browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, general geographic location (such as country or region), and an anonymized or truncated IP address. This information helps us ensure the site displays correctly across devices and helps protect against fraud and abuse.

Newsletter Email Collection

You may choose to subscribe to our newsletter to receive décor tips, new guides, and occasional offers. Signing up is entirely optional. We collect your email address only when you actively provide it and give your explicit consent. We will never add you to our mailing list without that consent. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you can withdraw your consent and opt out at any time.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Operate, maintain, and secure our website;
Analyze traffic and improve our content and user experience;
Track affiliate referrals so we receive proper credit for qualifying purchases;
Send our newsletter to subscribers who have opted in;
Comply with legal obligations and prevent fraud or misuse.

We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. Your information is never treated as a commodity. We share data only with the trusted service providers that help us run the site — such as analytics and email delivery providers — and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services on our behalf.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

Consent: for analytics cookies, affiliate tracking cookies, and newsletter emails;
Legitimate interests: for essential site operation, security, and basic aggregated analytics that do not override your rights;
Legal obligation: where we are required to retain or disclose information by law.

Your Rights Under the GDPR

If the GDPR applies to you, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data; to restrict or object to processing; to data portability; and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Your Rights Under the CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, grants you the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. As stated above, we do not sell or trade your personal information. You also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics and usage data are typically retained in aggregated or anonymized form.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described above, or if you have questions about this policy, please contact us through the contact page on havenbrookdecor.com. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.

Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to third-party retailers and websites. Once you click through to another site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit, as we are not responsible for their content or practices.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
