If you’re visiting Haven or Cozy Decor (havenoracozydecor.com) from the European Union, United Kingdom, or European Economic Area, this page explains how we handle your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We want you to feel confident and informed about your rights whenever you visit our site.
What Is the GDPR?
The GDPR is a data protection law that gives individuals in the EU/EEA and UK greater control over their personal information. It applies to any website that collects data from users in these regions, regardless of where the website itself is based.
What Personal Data We Collect
As explained in more detail in our Privacy Policy, we may collect:
- Basic technical data automatically (such as browser type, general location, and pages visited) through analytics tools
- Any information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address, if you contact us directly
- In the future, cookie-based data used by advertising partners once our site is monetized
We currently do not run advertising on this site, and we do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Our Legal Basis for Processing Data
Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal grounds to process personal data:
- Consent — For example, when you voluntarily submit your information through a contact email or comment.
- Legitimate interest — For example, using basic analytics to understand and improve our website.
- Legal obligation — Where required, to comply with applicable law.
Your Rights Under the GDPR
If you’re located in the EU, EEA, or UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- The right to access — You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- The right to rectification — You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
- The right to erasure — You can request that we delete your personal data, sometimes referred to as the “right to be forgotten.”
- The right to restrict processing — You can ask us to limit how we use your data under certain circumstances.
- The right to data portability — You can request your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
- The right to object — You can object to our processing of your personal data, including for direct marketing purposes (relevant once advertising is introduced).
- The right to withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at havenoracozydecor@gmail.com, and we’ll respond as promptly as we can.
Cookies & GDPR
Where cookies are used on our site — whether for basic site functionality, analytics, or (in the future) advertising — we aim to only use them in a way that respects your consent choices, particularly for visitors in the EU/EEA/UK. As our website evolves and advertising is introduced, we will implement appropriate cookie consent tools to ensure visitors from these regions can manage their preferences clearly and easily.
International Data Transfers
Because our website may use third-party tools (such as analytics or, in the future, advertising platforms) that are based outside the EU/EEA/UK, your data may be transferred and processed in other countries, including the United States. Where this happens, we expect our service providers to maintain appropriate safeguards in line with GDPR requirements.
Data Retention
We only keep personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose it was collected for — such as responding to an inquiry — unless a longer retention period is required by law.
How to Contact Us About Your Data
We take your privacy seriously, and we’re genuinely happy to help with any questions or requests regarding your personal data. Please reach out to:

If you feel your concerns haven’t been addressed appropriately, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Changes to This Page
As our website grows and our use of cookies and advertising evolves, we will update this GDPR Compliance page accordingly. We encourage you to check back periodically to stay informed.
