Welcome to Homely Haze. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at contact@homelyhaze.com.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you engage with our website, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our services, participate in activities on the website (such as commenting or subscribing to newsletters), or otherwise contact us.
The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with our website, the choices you make, and the features you use. The personal information we may collect includes the following:
- Name and Contact Data: We collect your first and last name, email address, postal address, phone number, and other similar contact data when you provide it (e.g., through contact forms or newsletter sign-ups).
- Credentials: If you create an account, we collect passwords, password hints, and similar security information used for authentication and account access.
- Usage Data: We may collect information about how you use our website, such as your browsing behavior, through cookies or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics). This includes data like pages visited and time spent on the site.
We do not collect payment data, as Homely Haze does not process direct payments. If you make purchases through affiliate links (e.g., via our partners like Amazon), those transactions are handled by third-party platforms, and you should review their privacy policies for details.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information for various business purposes, relying on our legitimate business interests, your consent, or to comply with legal obligations. Below are the purposes for which we process your data:
- To facilitate account creation and logon process: If you create an account, we use your data to set up and manage it.

Sharing Your Information
We only share your information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations. We may share your data under the following circumstances:
- Consent: We may share your data if you have given us specific consent for a particular purpose (e.g., subscribing to a third-party newsletter).
- Legitimate Interests: We may share your data when reasonably necessary to achieve our business interests, such as working with affiliate partners (e.g., Amazon Affiliate Program).
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, governmental requests, court orders, or legal processes (e.g., in response to a subpoena).
- Vital Interests: We may share your information to investigate or prevent potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, or threats to safety.
- Service Providers: We may share data with third-party vendors (e.g., Google Analytics, ad networks) that help us operate our website or deliver services. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. Cookies help us analyze traffic, personalize content, and serve relevant ads (e.g., through Google AdSense or affiliate links). You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool (if applicable). For more details, please review our Cookie Policy (if available on the website).
Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. For example, we use SSL encryption to secure data transmission. However, no security measures are completely foolproof, and no method of data transmission is guaranteed to be entirely secure. Please be aware that you share information at your own risk.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location (e.g., European Economic Area, India, or California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:
- Access: You can request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: You can request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion: You can request that we delete your data, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal obligations).

To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@homelyhaze.com. If you request to terminate your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases, though some data may be retained to prevent fraud, troubleshoot issues, or comply with legal requirements.

Your data may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries outside your jurisdiction, including India, where our business is based. We ensure that any data transfers comply with applicable privacy laws, such as GDPR for EU users or India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
