About this site
Interior Art Live publishes design articles and features for people interested in elevating their personal spaces. The site runs on WordPress and hosts an archive of over a hundred posts. We do not sell products, run ads, or operate an email newsletter. Comments may be open on articles to encourage conversation.
What reaches us and how
We receive information in a few ways:
• When you browse the site, our hosting environment and content delivery network (CDN) generate standard server logs. These typically include your IP address, the pages you request, the date and time of the request, and details about your browser or device. This happens on any website you visit and is necessary to deliver the pages securely and reliably.
• If you choose to post a comment on an article, WordPress will collect the text you submit along with the name and email address you provide, your IP address, and a browser user-agent string. These help with publication, moderation, and fraud prevention.
We do not use on-site contact forms, analytics trackers, advertising beacons, or affiliate tags.
Comments on posts
When comments are available on an article and you submit one:
• The comment and its metadata are stored in our WordPress database so the comment can appear with the article and so we can moderate it.
• WordPress may set convenience cookies in your browser that remember your name, email, and (if you provide it) website, so you do not have to retype them the next time you comment. You can clear these cookies in your browser settings at any time.
• Comments are reviewed for tone, relevance, and abuse. We may decline, edit for clarity, or remove comments that violate our standards.
Cookies and similar storage
This site uses only a small number of functional cookies:
• WordPress sets session cookies for logged-in administrators to run the site. Visitors who are not logged in as site staff do not receive these session cookies.
• If you leave a comment, optional cookies may store the name and email you supplied so your browser can prefill them next time.
Our separate Cookie Policy page provides additional detail. You can control or delete cookies through your browser at any time.
Server and CDN logs
Our hosting provider and CDN keep logs to operate the service, defend against attacks, diagnose errors, and produce aggregate uptime metrics. These logs commonly include IP address, requested URLs, timestamps, referrer, and user agent. Access to logs is limited to our site administrators and the hosting/CDN teams who run the infrastructure. Logs are kept only as long as needed for the purposes above and may be retained longer when investigating security issues or abuse.
How we use and share information
We use the information described above to publish and moderate comments, keep the site secure and reliable, understand systemic performance issues, and respond to messages you choose to send us by email.
We do not sell visitor data and we do not share it with advertisers or analytics companies. Besides our own administrators, recipients are limited to service providers that enable the site to function, such as hosting and CDN operators, and only to the extent necessary to provide their services. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our readers and the site.
How long we keep things
• Comments and their moderation history are kept in WordPress for as long as the article remains published or until we remove them at our discretion or upon a valid request.
• Functional cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
• Server and CDN logs are retained for the period needed to run and safeguard the service, and may be kept longer when investigating abuse or technical issues.
Your choices and rights
You can:
• Decline to leave a comment or provide optional details when commenting.
• Clear or block cookies in your browser.
• Ask us about the information we hold about you, request corrections, or ask us to delete a comment you posted.
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights such as objecting to certain processing or requesting a copy of your data. To exercise any of these, email [email protected] from the address you used with us, describe your request, and include a link to the relevant page or comment so we can locate it. If you believe your privacy rights have not been respected, you may have the right to raise a concern with your local supervisory authority.
