Hey, welcome! Before you dive into the decor ideas, I just want to take a moment to be completely transparent with you about how this website works and what happens with your information.

I know privacy policies can feel boring and overwhelming — trust me, writing one isn’t exactly my favorite thing either! But your trust means everything to me, so I want to be upfront about everything. I promise to keep this as simple and easy to understand as possible.

Who Is Behind This Website?

I’m Sophie, the person behind The Decor Made Easy. This is my little corner of the internet where I share home decor ideas, DIY projects, and budget-friendly styling tips that actually work in real homes — not just on Pinterest boards!

If you ever have questions about anything on this page, you can always reach me at hello@thedecormadeeasy.com — I personally read every email.

What Information Do I Collect?

I only collect information when you choose to share it with me. This happens when you:

• Send me an email
• Subscribe to my newsletter
• Leave a comment on a blog post
• Fill out my contact form

When you do any of these things, I may collect your name and email address — that’s it. I don’t ask for anything I don’t actually need, and I will never share your information with anyone without your permission.

How Do I Use Your Information?

Simple — I use it to stay in touch with you and make this website better for you. Specifically:

• To reply to your emails and questions
• To send you my newsletter if you’ve signed up (you can unsubscribe anytime — no hard feelings!)
• To understand what content you enjoy most so I can create more of it
• To show you relevant ads through third-party services (more on that below)

That’s honestly it. No funny business. I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone.

Cookies — The Digital Kind, Not the Chocolate Chip Kind 🍪

Like pretty much every website on the internet, this one uses cookies. Cookies are tiny files that get saved to your device when you visit a site. They help me understand how people use my website so I can keep improving it.

The cookies on this site come from a few places:

• Google Analytics — helps me see which posts are most popular and how visitors navigate the site
• Google AdSense — helps show you ads that are actually relevant to you
• WordPress — used for basic website functionality

You can turn off cookies anytime through your browser settings. Just know that some parts of the website might not work as smoothly if you do.

Ads on This Website

I work with Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. These ads are how I keep the blog running and continue sharing free content with you — so I genuinely appreciate every time you support the site this way.

Google AdSense uses cookies to show you ads based on your browsing history and interests. So if you’ve been looking at sofas all week, don’t be surprised if you see sofa ads here too — that’s just how it works!

If you’d prefer not to see personalized ads, you can easily opt out:

Google Analytics

I use Google Analytics to understand things like which blog posts people love most, how long visitors stay on the site, and what kind of device they’re using. This helps me create better content for you.

Everything Google Analytics collects is completely anonymous — I cannot see your name or personal details through it. It’s more like a bird’s eye view of how the website is doing overall.

If you’d rather not be tracked by Google Analytics, you can opt out here:

Affiliate Links — Honest Disclosure

Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission if you click and make a purchase — at absolutely no extra cost to you. In fact, sometimes you’ll even find discount codes!

I’m part of the Amazon Associates Program and a few other affiliate networks. But here’s my promise to you — I only ever recommend products I genuinely like and would use in my own home. My readers’ trust matters far more to me than any commission.

All affiliate links are clearly disclosed in my posts, in line with FTC guidelines:

👉 FTC Endorsement Guidelines

Links to Other Websites

Every now and then I’ll link to other websites — maybe a product I love, a tutorial I found helpful, or a brand I admire. Once you leave my site and visit one of those links, their own privacy policies apply and I’m not responsible for what happens there.

I’d always encourage you to have a quick read of any external website’s privacy policy before sharing your information with them.

Social Media

You can find me on Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram! When you visit or interact with me on those platforms, their own privacy rules apply:

👉 Pinterest Privacy Policy 👉 Facebook Privacy Policy 👉 Instagram Privacy Policy

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. I don’t knowingly collect any personal information from anyone under 13 years old.

If you’re a parent and think your child may have shared information with me, please email me at hello@thedecormadeeasy.com and I’ll take care of it right away.

This website follows the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If You’re in Europe — GDPR

If you’re visiting from the European Union, you have extra rights under GDPR — including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time.

I collect your data only when I have a valid reason to do so — like your consent when you sign up for my newsletter, or my legitimate interest in understanding how my website is used.

For any GDPR-related requests, just email me at hello@thedecormadeeasy.com and I’ll sort it out for you.

If You’re in California — CCPA

California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) — including knowing what data I have, asking me to delete it, and opting out of any data sales.

For the record — I don’t sell your data. Ever. But if you have any questions or requests, email me anytime at hello@thedecormadeeasy.com

👉 Learn more: California Privacy Rights

Your Rights

No matter where you’re from, you always have the right to:

• Ask me what personal information I have about you
• Ask me to correct it if something is wrong
• Ask me to delete it
• Unsubscribe from my newsletter anytime (there’s always an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email)

Just shoot me an email at hello@thedecormadeeasy.com and I’ll take care of it, no questions asked.

Updates to This Policy

Every now and then I may need to update this Privacy Policy — maybe because of a new law, a new tool I’m using on the site, or just because I want to make something clearer. When that happens, I’ll update the date at the top of this page.

I’d recommend bookmarking this page and checking back once in a while, just to stay in the loop.

Questions? Just Ask!

If anything in this policy is unclear or you have any concerns at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m just one person running this blog and I genuinely care about your trust.
