What this policy covers
This page explains what information reaches Paul et Martin when you visit or contact us, how we use it, when we keep it, and how you can exercise your rights. It applies to pauletmartin.com and the content we publish in the Design Blog category.
Information we receive
We do not run an online store, newsletter, advertising, affiliate tracking, or public comment system. There are no sign-ups for readers and registration is closed.
We receive only limited information:
- Server and CDN logs created when you load our pages. These typically include your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, and information your browser sends such as user agent and referrer.
- Administrative session data that WordPress sets for the single registered site administrator when they log in. Regular readers do not get a login.
- Email contents and headers if you write to us at one of our published addresses (for example, [email protected] or [email protected]). Your message will include whatever personal information you choose to include.
How we use this information
We use the information described above to run the site, keep it secure and reliable, respond to correspondence, and comply with legal obligations (for example, handling DMCA notices sent to [email protected]). We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and local storage
Paul et Martin does not use analytics, advertising, or newsletter tracking cookies.
WordPress may set essential cookies for the site administrator to maintain a logged-in session and to protect the login process. Regular readers should not receive these cookies.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. For more detail about cookies used on this site, see our Cookie Policy page.
Who can see your data
Access is limited to:
- Our hosting environment and content delivery network, which process server requests and create logs so the site can be delivered quickly and securely.
- Our site administrator, who can view server logs and receive email sent to our published addresses.
- Email and internet service providers that transport your messages to us when you choose to email us.
International access and transfers
Because we use a caching/content delivery network and standard email routing, your requests and messages may be processed on infrastructure located outside your state or country. We apply the same approach to safeguarding your information regardless of where it is processed.
How long we keep information
Server and CDN logs are kept only as long as needed for security, performance, and troubleshooting. Email correspondence is kept for as long as necessary to handle your request and maintain a record of our communications, and then archived or deleted in line with our operational needs.
Your choices and rights
You can:
- Ask us whether we hold personal information about you and request a copy.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate information or delete information we no longer need.
- Object to or restrict certain processing, where applicable.
- Control cookies through your browser settings.
- If you are in a region with a data protection authority, you can lodge a complaint with that authority about our handling of your information. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
Children’s privacy
This site is aimed at a general audience interested in design and home ideas. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will address it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our site evolves. Changes will be posted on this page. If the changes are significant, we will place a notice on the site to point to the update.
