Information you give us
When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, the topic you choose, any guide link you include and your message. We use this only to read and reply to your message and to fix any issue you report. If you leave a comment, WordPress stores the name, email address and comment you submit, and your comment may be shown publicly with your name.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and security services (including Cloudflare) receive standard technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the time of your visit. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix problems.
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand which pages are read and how visitors find the site. These tools use cookies or similar technology and report usage in aggregated form.
Cookies and affiliate links
HomeIsBeautiful is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. When you click a link to Amazon.com, Amazon may set cookies in your browser so it can tell that you came from our site and credit us for qualifying purchases. Amazon’s use of that information is governed by Amazon’s own privacy notice. We do not receive your name, payment details or order details from Amazon.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies does not stop the site from working, though some features may behave differently.
How we use information
- To reply to messages and corrections.
- To run, secure and improve the site.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
Third-party sites
Our guides link to Amazon and other websites. Their privacy practices are their own, so please review their policies when you visit them.
How long we keep information
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and keep a record of corrections. Comments remain until they are removed. Technical logs are kept for a limited period by our hosting and security providers.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information you have sent us. Depending on where you live, for example in California or the European Economic Area, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws. To make a request, use our contact form and choose “Something else”.
