Who we are and what this policy covers

Sofa Interiors is an editorial site that publishes articles about interior design. This policy explains what information reaches this site when you read, comment, or contact us, why we hold it, who else may receive it in the course of running the site, and your choices.

Information that reaches us

Browsing the site: When you visit sofainteriors.info, our web host and content delivery network (CDN) automatically receive standard server logs. These typically include your IP address, the pages you request, the date and time of your request, referring URL (if any), and your browser and device information. We use these logs to operate the site, diagnose problems, keep the site secure, and measure server performance.

Comments: Some posts allow readers to leave a comment. If you choose to comment, the site receives the data you enter into the comment form (for example your name, comment text, and optionally a website URL) along with your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection and moderation.

Email: If you email us at any of the published addresses below, we will receive your message and any personal information you include in it. Your message will also be processed by your and our respective email providers.

What we do not collect

We do not run an online store, accept orders or payments, operate a newsletter, or carry advertising or affiliate tracking on this site. There are no contact forms on the site, and we do not use analytics services.

Cookies and similar storage

Essential site operation: WordPress sets session cookies for logged-in administrators. These are necessary to manage the site and are not used for tracking readers.

Commenter convenience: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies on your device. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again the next time you comment.

Caching/CDN: Our caching layer and CDN may set cookies or use similar technologies to route traffic efficiently and protect the site from abuse. These are used for performance and security.

Why we keep data and how long

Server and CDN logs are kept to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service. They are retained for a limited period appropriate to those purposes and then deleted or aggregated.

Published comments and their metadata are kept indefinitely so the conversation remains intact, unless we remove them for moderation reasons or you ask us to delete your own comment where feasible.

Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to handle your request and maintain a record of our correspondence, and then archived or deleted according to operational needs.

Who else may process your data

Hosting provider and CDN receive traffic necessary to deliver the site and keep it secure, which includes the server log information described above.

Email service providers process messages you send to or receive from our published email addresses.

Apart from these service layers, we do not share personal information with third parties, and we do not sell readers’ data.
