At CozyCraftDaily.com ("we," "us," or "our"), your privacy and trust are fundamental to everything we build. This document explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, read our DIY tutorials, or subscribe to our newsletter.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in two main ways: directly from you when you interact with our features, and automatically as you navigate our tutorial pages.
- Voluntary Personal Data: When you subscribe to our weekly newsletter, submit a DIY project pitch, or contact us through our collaboration portal, we collect your name, email address, and any specific message content you choose to share.
- Automated Usage Data: Like most modern digital publications, our servers automatically log standard technical data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visit. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
2. How We Use Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party data brokers. We use the collected data exclusively for the following purposes:
- To deliver our weekly DIY newsletter and seasonal craft updates (only if you explicitly opted in).
- To respond to your direct inquiries, brand sponsorship pitches, and reader support questions.
- To analyze website traffic patterns so we can improve site navigation, optimize page load speeds, and create more of the content categories our readers love most.
- To maintain website security and prevent spam or fraudulent activity.
3. Cookies & Analytics
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to enhance user experience. CozyCraftDaily uses first-party cookies to remember your display preferences (such as closing pop-up banners) and anonymous analytics cookies to understand how readers interact with our tutorials.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent. However, please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain interactive features like our instant search overlay.
4. Pinterest & Third-Party Tags
Because visual home decor inspiration thrives on Pinterest, CozyCraftDaily utilizes official Pinterest conversion tags and social sharing widgets. These tools allow us to understand which DIY projects are saved most frequently and help us deliver relevant visual inspiration across Pinterest's platform.
Pinterest Privacy Note
When you click the Pinterest save buttons on our blog posts, Pinterest may collect browsing data according to their own independent privacy policy. You can manage your personalized advertising preferences directly within your Pinterest account settings.
5. FTC Affiliate Disclosure & Editorial Integrity
CozyCraftDaily is a reader-supported publication. To help fund our creative studio, material testing, and writing team, some of our tutorials contain affiliate links to tools, paints, hardware, and home decor items.
Our 100% Editorial Promise
If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at zero additional cost to you. We never recommend a product simply for a commission. Every paint sample, cordless drill, or storage basket featured on this site has been rigorously evaluated or personally used in our workshop.
6. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your geographic location, you possess specific legal rights regarding your personal data under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
- Right to Access: You may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You may request that we permanently delete your email address from our newsletter database at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our emails or by contacting us directly.
- Right to Opt-Out: California residents have the right to opt out of the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes.
