Who Is Responsible for This Site
InteriorTales is an independently operated publication, not a registered company.
The site is administered from Türkiye and is intended primarily for readers in the United States.
Why We Process Information
InteriorTales processes information where necessary to operate, secure and maintain the site, respond to messages, prevent abuse, keep appropriate records and comply with applicable obligations. Contact details are not used for newsletter marketing unless a visitor separately chooses to subscribe.
Information We Process Now
Hosting, CDN and Security Logs
Hosting, delivery and security providers may process IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, request time and security events to deliver and protect the site. This technical information is handled according to the relevant provider settings and retained only as needed for delivery, security and troubleshooting.
Contact Form and Email
When you contact InteriorTales, we process the name, email address, subject and message you provide in order to review and respond to your request. Contact-form users are not subscribed to a newsletter. Messages are retained only as long as necessary for the request and legitimate recordkeeping. Routine contact messages are normally retained for up to 12 months. Messages involving corrections, disputes, intellectual-property concerns or legal requests may be retained longer where reasonably necessary to document and resolve the matter.
Google Analytics and Site Kit
InteriorTales uses Google Site Kit to manage its Google services. Google Analytics may process page views, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser information, referral information and interactions with the site to help us understand readership and improve the publication. Analytics storage is optional and is enabled only after the visitor grants Analytics permission through Cookie Settings. Google Analytics may use first-party cookies when permission is granted. Learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy.
Google Search Console
Google Search Console is used by site administrators to understand how Google Search discovers and presents InteriorTales. It provides aggregated search-performance and indexing information and is not presented as a visitor-facing analytics or newsletter service on this site.
Substack Newsletter
The newsletter signup form is provided by Substack. The embedded form is not loaded until the visitor grants Newsletter third parties permission. If a visitor chooses to subscribe, the email address and other information entered into the form are sent directly to Substack and handled under Substack’s Privacy Policy. Newsletter consent is separate from contact-form and analytics preferences.
