As the founder of Tidy Quirk, I believe privacy matters as much as a good night’s sleep—it’s about trust and calm in your daily routine. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information on our content blog focused on simple wellness tips. We keep things straightforward, collecting only what’s needed to share our articles and respond to you. In simple terms: we do not sell your personal information, and you stay in control. Read on for the details.
Information We Collect
We distinguish between Personal Information—data that can identify you—and other information that does not directly do so. Personal Information includes details you provide voluntarily, such as your email address when subscribing to our newsletter or contacting us through the form.
Other information includes online identifiers like IP addresses, device types, browser details, and cookie IDs, which may be considered personal data under laws like GDPR. We also gather non-personal data such as page views, time spent on site, and referral sources in aggregated form. In simple terms: we collect basics to make the site work and improve it for everyone.
- Email from newsletter signups or inquiries
- IP address and device info from visits
- Aggregated stats on popular articles
- Browser language and screen size preferences
How We Collect and Use Information
We collect information directly from you via contact forms or newsletter signups, and automatically through server logs and tools like Google Analytics. Server logs capture visits without storing personal details long-term. We use this to respond to your messages, send newsletters if requested, analyze site performance, and personalize content display.
Your data helps us understand reader interests, like which sleep tips resonate most, to refine our blog. We share aggregated insights internally but never individual details with outsiders except service providers under strict agreements. In simple terms: your info powers better articles and replies, nothing more.
- Respond to contact form submissions
- Deliver and improve newsletter content
- Track overall site usage trends
- Prevent spam on forms
Legal Basis and Your Rights
Our legal bases include legitimate interests for site analytics and functionality, consent for non-essential cookies, and providing services you request like email replies. For California residents under CCPA, you can request access to or deletion of your personal information and opt out of any sale or sharing where applicable—we do not sell personal information. EU users have GDPR rights including access, rectification, erasure, and objection.
To exercise rights, email us; we’ll respond reasonably. You can withdraw consent anytime for cookies or newsletters. In simple terms: you control your data, and we respect requests without hassle.
- Access what we hold on you
- Correct inaccurate details
- Delete info (subject to legal needs)
- Object to processing based on interests
- Opt out of CCPA sharing (not applicable here)
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use essential cookies for site basics like navigation and session management, plus analytics cookies from Google Analytics to measure traffic and engagement. These typically hold online identifiers or preferences, not details like your name or email. Analytics data stays anonymized where possible.
You can manage cookies via your browser settings—most block or clear them easily. For Google Analytics, use their opt-out tools. In simple terms: cookies help the site run smoothly; refuse non-essentials anytime.
Third-Party Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display relevant ads, which sets third-party cookies like DoubleClick for personalization. These may track across sites for ad targeting based on your interests. We do not run our own cross-site tracking, but ad partners might.
Control this through your Google Ads settings or ad blocker extensions. We earn from ads to keep content free. In simple terms: ads fund the blog; third-parties handle their cookies.
Data Retention and Security Measures
We retain Personal Information only as long as necessary—for example, contact details until your query resolves, newsletter emails until you unsubscribe. Analytics and log data stay for a limited period to spot trends, then aggregate or delete. No fixed timelines; it fits our needs and legal duties.
Security includes standard safeguards like secure servers, access controls, HTTPS encryption, and regular updates. We limit staff access and use trusted processors with agreements. While no system is perfect, we protect against common risks reasonably.
Children’s Privacy
Our site targets adults with wellness routines, not children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from kids. If we learn of such, we delete it promptly—parents, contact us if concerned.
Third-Party Links Disclaimer
We link to helpful resources like sleep studies or product affiliates, but those sites have their own privacy rules. We lack control over them. Review their policies before sharing info.
