Privacy Policy & Disclosure
My love for home and interiors is indescribable. This site serves as my creative outlet. I am grateful for each of my readers, follows, friends and subscribers that allow me to do what I love. It is very important that I maintain authenticity in the content I create. We respect the privacy of our users (“user” or “you”). At patticakwagner.com, we recognize that the privacy of your personal information is important. This Privacy Policy & Terms explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit patticakewagner.com.
Cookies & Web Beacons
- This site uses Google Analytics. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Advertising
The cookies of other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on our site. Some of these advertisers, like Google through the Google AdSense program, may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, etc. This helps manage and optimize your online experience.
Please refer to the GoogleAds privacy policy for more information. For more information about opting out of internet-based ads, visit the third-party network or review the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Tool. You can opt out of some third-party vendors’ uses of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Sponsorships
We do a lot of research during each project seeking out the best solutions and at times brand partnerships. Whether we seek out or are approached to partner, sometimes this can turn into a natural partnership between me and the business where product will ultimately be donated and I will receive compensation for exposure on my blog/social channels. I only work with brands and businesses that I believe in and will never promote an item that I don’t truly like, even if it’s free. If a content is sponsored, I will always disclose it to keep my editorial integrity.
Affiliates
All of the products I share are things I (or my husband, Brian) genuinely love – some will be affiliated, and some won’t be. I use affiliate links to share where I purchased an item. Affiliate programs I’m a participant in, include rewardStyle (LTK) and the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Affiliate marketing programs are designed to provide a means for digital creators and sites such as this to earn commissions on qualifying purchases by linking through them. It really helps keep my blog running while sharing more quality content outside of my social channels.
Please refer to the rewardStyle privacy policy for more information.
Third Party Service Providers
We currently use Flodesk for delivery of email updates and newsletters. The Flodesk service will store your name and email address for purposes of delivering such communications. Please refer to the Flodesk privacy policy for further information.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you have any questions, or would like to work with me, say hello.
