This Privacy Policy explains what information Cozy Home Diary (cozyhomediary.com) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies only to this website and should be read together with our Cookie Policy.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

If you contact Cozy Home Diary through the contact form or by email, we collect the details you share, such as your name, email address, and message. If you leave a comment, WordPress stores your name, email address, comment, and IP address.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, our hosting provider automatically records standard server logs. These may include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to keep the website secure and working properly.

How We Use Your Information

• To read and reply to your messages and comments
• To operate, maintain, and fix technical problems on the website
• To protect the website from spam, abuse, and security threats
• To meet legal obligations, if required

Cozy Home Diary does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and does not currently use analytics or advertising tracking.

Services We Use

Cozy Home Diary uses a small number of service providers to run the website:

• Hostinger: hosts the website and stores server logs and form submissions.
• Gmail (Google): receives and stores email messages sent to Cozy Home Diary.
• WordPress: the software that runs the website, including the contact form and comments.

These providers process information only as needed to provide their services and are covered by their own privacy policies.

Cookies

This website uses a small number of essential cookies to work properly. For details on what cookies are used and how to control them, please read our Cookie Policy.

Social Media and External Links

This website includes links to Cozy Home Diary’s social media profiles, such as Pinterest, and may link to other websites. These links do not share your information with those platforms unless you click them. Once you leave this website, the other platform’s privacy policy applies, and Cozy Home Diary is not responsible for its practices.

How Long Information Is Kept

Messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and to keep reasonable records. Approved comments remain on the website unless you ask for them to be removed. Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period for security purposes.

Data Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect the information collected through this website, including a secure (HTTPS) connection. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

• Ask what personal information Cozy Home Diary holds about you
• Ask for your information to be corrected or deleted
• Object to or limit how your information is used

To make a request, please contact us using the details below. We aim to respond within 30 days.
