About this site
Life in Luxury Design is an online magazine focused on interiors and design, published at luxurydesign.life. The site runs on WordPress and currently hosts a large archive of articles. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit or interact with the site, why it is collected, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
What comes to us automatically
When you load a page, our hosting environment and content delivery network (CDN) receive standard technical details from your browser. These server logs typically include your IP address, the pages you request, the time of the request, referrer information, and your browser and device type.
We use this information to operate the site, keep it secure, diagnose problems, and measure server performance. Logs are kept for a limited period necessary for these purposes and may be retained longer if needed to investigate or prevent abuse.
Because we use a CDN to speed up delivery, your requests may be routed through multiple locations. The CDN provider and our web host can access these technical logs to provide their services.
Comments on articles
Most articles allow readers to post comments. If you choose to comment, WordPress stores the comment text along with the name and email address you supply. WordPress also records the IP address and browser user agent associated with the comment. This helps with moderation, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.
Your comment, name (or display name), and any website URL you provide will be published with the comment once approved. Your email address and IP address are not published.
Contact by email
The site does not use contact forms. If you write to us, we will receive your email address and the contents of your message, plus any headers and attachments your email client includes. We use this information to respond and to manage correspondence. We keep such correspondence for as long as needed for our records and to handle follow-up, then delete it when no longer required.
Cookies and local storage
WordPress sets functional cookies in two situations:
• If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies so you do not have to re-enter them next time. These are convenience cookies stored in your browser.
• Administrators who sign in to manage the site receive session cookies required for authentication and security.
Our caching/CDN layer may set strictly necessary cookies to route traffic reliably and to serve cached content. The site does not use analytics, advertising, or newsletter tracking cookies.
How we use the information
We use the information described above to publish and moderate content, respond to reader messages, keep the site reliable and secure, and to improve site performance.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing: we rely on our legitimate interests to run, protect, and maintain the site; on your consent for optional commenter convenience cookies; and on the performance of a service when we reply to your inquiries.
Who can see it
Within Life in Luxury Design, access to any non-public information is limited to the site administrator managing content and operations.
Service providers that enable the site to function, such as our web host, CDN, and email provider, may process information on our behalf to deliver their services. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with advertisers or affiliate networks.
How long we keep it
• Server and CDN logs are kept for a short time necessary for security and operations, with extensions only if investigating abuse or technical issues.
• Published comments are kept as part of the article record until you ask us to remove them or we remove them during moderation.
• Emails you send us are retained for as long as needed to handle your request and maintain reasonable records.
Your choices and rights
You can choose not to leave a comment, or to clear commenter convenience cookies using your browser settings.
You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, object to certain processing, or ask us to delete it where the law requires. If you have posted a comment and would like it removed, contact us with the link to the article and the name you used.
If you believe your data protection rights have been infringed, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Children
This site is aimed at a general audience interested in design. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update it here and revise the effective date. For significant changes we may also place a notice on the site.
