Quick Summary
We value privacy the same way we value clean and minimal design — simple, clear, and respectful. On minimalandmodern.com, we collect just a few pieces of personal information, only when you give it to us.
That may include your name (if you message us), your email (if you subscribe), or your IP address (if you visit the site). We don’t sell your data, we don’t run ads, and we don’t use cookies. If you want to ask what info we have, or delete it, just email us at jordan@minimalandmodern.com.
Introduction
Welcome to minimalandmodern.com, a website dedicated to clean, elegant, and modern living — with a focus on home decor inspiration, styling ideas, and more.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. Even though we don’t collect much, it’s important that you know your rights.
We try our best to follow laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), no matter where you’re from.
By using this site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
What We Collect
We only collect a few pieces of personal information — and only if you choose to provide them:
Name: If you message us through the contact form
Email address: If you subscribe to updates or email us
IP address: When you visit the site (automatically collected for analytics or technical use)
Comments: If you leave a comment on a blog post or article
That’s it. We do not collect payment info, personal IDs, addresses, or anything sensitive.
Why We Collect It
Here’s how we use each piece of data:
Name: To reply to messages in a personal and friendly way
Email: To send optional updates (only if you sign up) or reply to your messages
IP address: To understand where our visitors are coming from and keep the site running smoothly
Comments: To allow community feedback or questions on posts
We do not use your information for ads, resell it, or profile you in any way.
Legal Grounds (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, we are required to explain our “legal basis” for using personal data.
Here’s how it breaks down:
Email (for newsletters): Collected only by consent – GDPR Article 6(1)(a)
Name (via messages): Collected under legitimate interest – Article 6(1)(f)
IP address (for analytics): Collected under legitimate interest – Article 6(1)(f)
Comments: Collected under legitimate interest – Article 6(1)(f)
You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing jordan@minimalandmodern.com.
Sharing
We don’t sell your data. We don’t trade it. We don’t share it with advertisers or data brokers.
The only third-party that might see limited data is:
Our web host or analytics provider, who may process your IP address for technical reasons like visitor stats or security.
They don’t get your name or email unless you’ve chosen to share it with us directly.
Cookies
We believe in simplicity — and that applies to tech, too.
We do not use cookies on this site. That means:
No pop-ups asking for cookie consent
No tracking cookies
No advertising cookies
No cookie storage on your device
You’re free to browse anonymously.
Your Rights
No matter where you live, you have the right to:
Know what data we hold about you
Ask us to correct wrong or outdated info
Ask us to delete your data
Ask for a copy of your data
Say no to how we use it (when legally allowed)
To make a request, just email jordan@minimalandmodern.com. We’ll respond within 30 days.
Children’s Privacy
We do not collect data from children under 13 years old.
If we find out a child has sent us data, we will delete it immediately.
If you’re a parent and think your child submitted something, please contact us.
Storage and Transfers
All data is stored in the United States, where our web servers are located.
We do not transfer your data to other countries like the EU, UK, or Brazil.
If that changes, we will update this policy and take legal steps to protect your data.
Retention (How Long We Keep Your Data)
We only keep your data as long as needed:
Messages/contact forms: Kept for up to 1 year
Newsletter emails: Stored until you unsubscribe
IP address data (for analytics): Usually stored by our provider for about 26 months
Comments: Kept as long as the related blog post is published
You can email us anytime to request deletion.
Security
We take privacy seriously, and we protect your data using:
SSL encryption (HTTPS) to keep your connection secure
Strong passwords for our admin area
Security plugins and firewall tools
Regular software updates to keep things safe and current
While no system is perfect, we follow best practices to keep your info protected.
No Automated Decisions
We do not use any kind of automated decision-making. No profiling, no AI-based recommendations, no bots deciding what content to show you.
Everything on this site is human-created and manually managed.
Do Not Track
If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal — we want to let you know that we currently do not respond to that setting. Most websites and analytics tools don’t support it, and there’s no standard method yet.
California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you live in California, you have the right to:
Ask us what personal data we’ve collected
Ask us to delete it
Ask us not to use it in certain ways
We do not sell personal information, so there is no need for a “Do Not Sell” link.
Still, if you have questions or want to access your data, email us at jordan@minimalandmodern.com.
