We’re so glad you stopped by Aestora Living! Whether you’re here for kitchen inspiration, home tips, or just browsing around with a cup of coffee — thank you. We take your privacy seriously, and we want you to feel safe and respected every time you visit our site.
Who We Are
Aestora Living is your friendly neighborhood home and kitchen blog, operated by Aestora Living based in the USA. You can reach us anytime at [email protected] .
What We Collect and What We Don’t
When You Share Something With Us Sometimes, you might fill out a form, leave a comment, or subscribe to our newsletter. When you do, we may ask for:
- Your name (first name is just fine)
- Your email address
We collect this because you’ve given us permission (that’s called “consent” in legal speak). We only use this info to reply to you, keep in touch (if you say yes), or to send helpful updates about kitchen gadgets and home tips.
What Happens Behind the Scenes Like most websites, we use tools that automatically collect certain things while you’re here. This includes:
- Your IP address
- Your browser and device (so we can show the site correctly)
- What pages you visited and how long you stayed
- General location (like your city or state, not your exact address)
This helps us make the site better for real people like you, not just robots. We collect this based on our “legitimate interest” to improve your experience and understand what content you love most.
We Use Cookies (but not the chocolate chip kind 🍪)
Essential Cookies – These keep the site working properly (like remembering you’re logged in)
Analytics Cookies – We use Google Analytics to see which recipes and tips are most popular. These cookies help us understand:
- How many people visit each day
- Which articles get the most love
- What devices people use (mobile vs. desktop)
Advertising Cookies – These help us show you relevant ads and keep the site free. They track:
- Your interests based on pages you visit
- Previous ads you’ve seen
- What you might like to buy
How Long Do Cookies Stick Around?
- Essential cookies: Until you close your browser
- Analytics cookies: Up to 2 years
- Advertising cookies: Up to 13 months
Not Into Cookies? That’s totally okay! Your browser lets you turn them off anytime. Just know that some parts of the site might not work as smoothly.
Who We Share Your Info With
Short answer: We don’t sell or trade your data. That’s not our vibe. We do work with trusted third-party services like:
- Email platforms (like Mailchimp or ConvertKit) – to send newsletters
- Google Analytics – to understand site traffic
- Google AdSense – to show relevant ads
- Amazon Associates Program – to track affiliate purchases
- Web hosting services – to keep the site running
These services only access what’s necessary to help us run the site smoothly and they’re bound by strict privacy rules.
How Long We Keep Your Info
- Email subscribers: Until you unsubscribe (then we delete within 30 days)
- Comment data: 2 years from your last comment
- Website analytics: Up to 26 months (Google Analytics standard)
- Contact form submissions: 1 year
Your Rights (Especially If You’re in California or the EU)
We believe you should be in control of your info. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- See what data we’ve collected about you
- Delete your data from our systems
- Correct or update your info
- Opt out of emails, tracking, or data sales
- Move your data to another service
California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have extra rights! You can request details about what personal information we collect, use, and share. You can also ask us to delete it or opt out of “sales” (which includes sharing data with ad networks).
EU Residents (GDPR): All the above rights apply to you too, plus the right to object to processing and data portability.
Want to make a request? Just email us at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help within 30 days.
Kids, This Site Isn’t for You (Sorry!)
Aestora Living is made for grown-up homeowners, renters, and kitchen lovers. If you’re under 13, please don’t share any personal info with us. If we accidentally collect it, we’ll delete it right away.
Links to Other Places
Sometimes we link to other websites — like Amazon, Pinterest, or kitchen brands. If you click through, you’ll be subject to their privacy policies. We recommend reading those if you want to be sure how they handle your info.
Here are some important ones:
How We Keep Your Info Safe
We do everything we can to protect your information:
- The site uses secure encryption (SSL) — look for the little lock icon in your browser
- We store data through trusted, secure platforms
- We limit who has access to your personal info
- We regularly review our security practices
But, just like anything online, no system is 100% foolproof. If anything ever goes wrong, we promise to be transparent and fix it as fast as we can.
International Visitors
While we mainly focus on US audiences, we welcome visitors from everywhere! If you’re outside the US, your data might be transferred to and stored in the United States, where our servers live. We’ll still protect it with the same care.
We May Update This Page Sometimes
We’ll tweak this policy occasionally if laws change or we improve how we do things. When we do, we’ll update the date at the top and let email subscribers know about any major changes.
Questions? We’re Here to Help!
Privacy stuff can be confusing, and we get it. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat about how we handle your info, drop us a line at [email protected].
Thanks for trusting us with your time and attention. Now, let’s get back to making your home amazing!
