Sorted & Cozy
Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Sorted & Cozy ("we", "us") collects when you visit sortedandcozy.com, why, and what rights you have. We keep data collection to a minimum.
Who is responsible
The data controller is [to be completed: publisher], [to be completed: address]. You can contact us about privacy at any time: sortedanbcozy@gmail.com.
The short version
- We do not set any advertising or analytics cookies.
- We do not sell or share your personal information for advertising.
- Our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs for security.
- If you email us or join our newsletter, we use your email address only for that.
What we collect and why
| Data | When | Why | Legal basis (GDPR) | How long |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical logs (IP address, browser, pages visited, date and time) | Every visit, recorded by our host | Keep the site secure and working | Legitimate interest | Up to 12 months, per our host's settings |
| Your email address and message | When you write to us | Answer you | Legitimate interest | Up to 3 years after our last exchange |
| Your email address | If you subscribe to our newsletter (when available) | Send the newsletter you asked for | Consent | Until you unsubscribe |
We do not ask for sensitive information and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Cookies
Sorted & Cozy itself does not use cookies or similar trackers for analytics or advertising, so we don't show a cookie banner. If that changes (for example if we add audience measurement or ads), we will update this policy and ask for your consent first where the law requires it.
Affiliate links. When you click a link to a retailer (such as Amazon, Target, Walmart, Wayfair or Etsy), you leave our site. The retailer or its affiliate network may then set its own cookies to record that you came from Sorted & Cozy. Those cookies are governed by the retailer's privacy policy, not ours.
Third-party content
- Images. Some photos are loaded from Unsplash's servers (images.unsplash.com). To deliver an image, Unsplash receives your IP address and browser information. See the Unsplash privacy policy.
- Pinterest. Our "Save" buttons are simple links: nothing is sent to Pinterest unless you click one.
Who receives your data
We never sell your data. It is only processed by the service providers we need to run the site:
- Hostinger International Ltd (Cyprus, EU): website hosting.
- GitHub (United States): stores the code and content of the website. It does not receive visitor data.
- Google (Gmail) for our contact inbox, when you write to us.
- Our newsletter provider, once the newsletter launches. We will name it here.
Some of these providers are based in, or may transfer data to, the United States. Where this happens, the transfer relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information by emailing sortedanbcozy@gmail.com. We answer within one month.
If you are in the European Union or the UK, you also have the right to object to or restrict processing, to data portability, to withdraw your consent at any time, and to file a complaint with your data protection authority. In France, that is the CNIL (cnil.fr).
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion and correction, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act.
"Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control
Because we do not track visitors across websites or use advertising cookies, our site behaves the same whether or not your browser sends a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control signal.
Children
This site is meant for adults. It is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. We limit the data we collect and keep it only as long as needed.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our practices change, and adjust the date at the top. Important changes will be highlighted on the site.
