Privacy Policy for vesper design

About this site

vesper design is an editorial website that publishes a small, curated blog about interiors and design. The site runs on WordPress and is served through standard hosting with a caching/CDN layer to deliver pages quickly.

What comes to us and how

When you visit the site, our hosting environment and the CDN that serves cached copies of pages automatically receive basic technical information sent by your browser. This typically includes your IP address, the date and time of the request, the requested URL, and your user agent (browser and device details). These logs are used to operate the site, diagnose issues, and protect the service from abuse.

If you choose to leave a comment on a post, WordPress will collect the data you enter in the comment form (comment text, name, email address, and optionally a website URL). For spam and abuse prevention, the system also records the IP address and browser user agent associated with the comment.

If you write to us by email, we will receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any headers and attachments your mail client includes. That information is handled through our email provider so that we can reply and manage correspondence.

The site has one registered user account for administration. WordPress sets session cookies for logged-in administrators. Visitors cannot register accounts on this site.

Why we keep this information

We use technical logs to run the site, troubleshoot performance, secure the service, and compile aggregate, non-personal usage insights.

We use comment details to publish your comment, to maintain a civil discussion, and to prevent spam and misuse.

We use emails you send us to respond to your request and maintain a record of our communication where reasonably necessary.

Cookies and similar storage

WordPress sets essential cookies when an administrator logs in so the site can function correctly. If you leave a comment and choose the option to save your details, WordPress will store your name, email address, and website in cookies on your device so you do not have to re-enter them next time. These convenience cookies typically last up to one year on your device unless you clear them.

Our caching/CDN layer may set strictly necessary cookies or use similar mechanisms to route traffic and serve content efficiently. These do not track you across other sites.

You can clear or block cookies using your browser settings. Doing so may affect how some features work (for example, the ability to save your details for future comments).

Who can see your data

Comments you choose to publish are public along with the name and website URL you provide. Your email address and IP address associated with a comment are not published.

Technical logs are visible to our hosting provider and CDN as part of operating the service. Email you send to our published addresses is processed by our email service. We do not sell personal data and we do not run advertising or affiliate tracking on this site.

We may disclose information if required to comply with applicable law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the site, our users, or the public.

How long we keep it

Published comments and their metadata are kept for the life of the site unless we moderate or remove them, or you ask us to delete them where applicable.

Server and CDN logs are retained for a limited period needed for operations and security, after which they are deleted or aggregated.

Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle the matter you raised and to keep reasonable records of our communications.

Your choices and rights

You can choose not to leave a comment. If you have posted a comment, you may ask us to remove or edit it.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access a copy of your personal data, to correct it, to ask for deletion, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to receive your data in a portable format. We will honor these rights where they apply.

To exercise a right or make a request, email [email protected] from the address you used, describe your request, and provide a link to the relevant page or comment. We may need to verify your identity before acting.

If you believe your rights have not been respected, you can contact your local data protection authority to lodge a complaint.

Children

This site is aimed at a general audience of design readers and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly solicit or publish personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data on this site, contact us and we will address it.

Changes to this notice

If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and adjust the effective date at the top of the policy. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
