We do not sell your personal data to third parties, we do not build intrusive tracking profiles, and we only collect data strictly necessary to provide our room edits, affiliate link routing, and anonymous site analytics.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect:
- Voluntary Information: If you subscribe to our alert newsletter or contact us via our contact form, we collect your email address, name, and any message details you provide.

2. How We Use Your Information
The data we gather is used strictly for legitimate business and editorial purposes:
- To serve our verified interior blueprint pages reliably and quickly.

You have the right to opt out of personalized advertising at any time via industry tools like the Digital Advertising Alliance (aboutads.info) or Network Advertising Initiative.
