Overview
Extravagance Idea is an editorial site focused on interiors and architecture. This policy explains what information reaches us when you use this site, how we use it, and the choices available to you. It applies only to extravaganceidea.com.
What comes to us and how
You can read most pages here without telling us who you are. Information reaches us in a few predictable ways:
- Comments. If you choose to leave a comment on an article, WordPress stores the information you enter (for example, name, email address, and an optional website URL) along with your IP address, browser user agent, the comment text, and the time. If you check the option to save your details, your browser may keep a cookie so you do not have to retype them next time.
- Email. If you write to us at any published address (for example [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]), we receive the contents of your message and the headers provided by your email service (such as your address, the sending server, and time). Attachments you send are also received and stored as part of that correspondence.
- Server and CDN logs. Our web host and content delivery network automatically record requests made to the site. These logs typically include your IP address, the page requested, date and time, and the user agent sent by your browser. This helps keep the site reliable and secure.
- Site administration. WordPress sets session cookies for the single registered site administrator to enable login and manage the site. These cookies are not used for visitors who are not logged in.
How we use this information
We use information only to run the site and to respond to you:
- Publish and moderate comments on articles, prevent abuse, and maintain a useful discussion space.
- Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website, including caching and load balancing through our hosting and CDN.
- Respond to emails you send us, evaluate pitches and contributions, and manage rights and takedown requests sent to [email protected].
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
Cookies and similar storage
We do not run advertising, affiliate tracking, or analytics cookies on this site.
WordPress may set the following functional cookies:
- Commenter convenience cookies that remember your name, email, and website if you choose to save them when commenting.
- Administrator session and preference cookies for the logged-in site administrator only.
- Our caching/CDN layer may set cookies or use similar technology strictly to deliver pages efficiently. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Who can see your information
Within Extravagance Idea, email and comment information is visible to the small editorial team that operates the site. Outside of that team, information may be processed by:
- Our web hosting provider and content delivery network, which handle traffic and store server logs.
- Our email service providers, which route and store our correspondence.
- Where you post a comment, the comment text and any name or website you provide will be public once approved. Your email address and IP address are not published.
How long we keep it
• Comments and their metadata are kept for as long as the article remains published, unless you ask us to remove them or we remove them during moderation.
• Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle your request or maintain a record of editorial and rights matters.
• Server and CDN logs are kept by our providers for a limited period to ensure security and reliability, then are deleted or aggregated. We do not control the exact duration of those provider logs.
Legal bases for readers in the EU/UK
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on the following:
- Legitimate interests to operate, secure, and improve the site, and to moderate comments.
- Consent for optional commenter cookies stored in your browser.
- Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request when you email us seeking a response or engage us about contributions.
- Compliance with legal obligations where applicable.
Your choices and rights
You can:
- Choose not to leave a comment or not to save commenter details in a cookie.
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, object to our processing, or ask us to restrict processing where applicable.
- Withdraw consent to commenter cookies by clearing them in your browser.
