Decor Texture is a home decor blog built around texture, small material swaps, and real rooms rather than staged ones. Because this site collects some information from the people who visit it, comment on it, or sign up for updates, this policy explains exactly what that involves. By using decortexture.com, you agree to the practices described below. If something here doesn’t sit right with you, the contact information at the end of this page is the place to reach out.
Information We Collect
Decor Texture collects two general categories of information.
The first is information visitors provide directly. This might include a name and email address submitted through a comment, a newsletter signup, a contact form, or (if applicable in the future) a purchase. In some cases this could extend to a phone number, mailing address, or payment details, but only if you choose to submit that information yourself.
The second is information collected automatically simply by visiting the site. This includes:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Internet service provider
- Time stamps of visits
- Pages viewed and the pages that referred you here
This information is gathered through forms you fill out, comments you leave, newsletter signups, log files generated by the server, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics. None of it is collected secretly or beyond what’s typical for an ordinary blog.
How We Put Your Information to Use
Decor Texture uses the information above to run the site properly and make it better over time. Specific uses include operating and maintaining the blog, responding to questions or comments, sending newsletter updates to people who’ve asked for them, personalizing what content or recommendations you see, understanding which articles are actually useful to readers, and identifying and preventing fraudulent or abusive activity.
Your information is not sold to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
Our Policy on Children Under 13
Decor Texture is not directed at children, and the site does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us using the email address at the bottom of this page and that information will be removed.
Cookies and How Decor Texture Uses Them
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. Decor Texture uses cookies to remember preferences, understand how visitors move through the site, and support the analytics and advertising tools described elsewhere in this policy.
You’re free to disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect how certain parts of the site function, but it won’t prevent you from reading articles or browsing the blog.
Server and Log Data
Like most websites, Decor Texture’s server automatically collects standard log file data when you visit. This typically includes your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, and time and date stamps. This information is used for administering the site, analyzing trends, and tracking general visitor movement, and it isn’t tied to any personally identifiable information on its own.
Pixels, Beacons, and Tracking Tags
In addition to cookies, Decor Texture may use web beacons, tracking pixels, and similar tags. These are typically used by analytics or advertising partners to understand how content performs and, where applicable, to support future advertising efforts. These tools work similarly to cookies and track activity such as which pages were visited and when.
Google Analytics on This Site
Decor Texture uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, which articles get the most attention, and where readers are coming from. Google Analytics collects information such as how often visitors come to the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used before arriving here. This data is used in aggregate form and is not used to personally identify individual visitors. You can learn more about how Google handles this data through Google’s own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Comments, Pinterest, and Social Interactions
When you leave a comment on Decor Texture, the name, email, and content you submit are stored so the comment can be published and, if needed, followed up on. If you interact with Decor Texture through Pinterest, Instagram, or other social platforms, that platform’s own privacy policy governs how they handle your data there, separate from anything on this website.
Content Embedded From Other Sites
Some articles on Decor Texture may include embedded content, such as a video, an image, or a Pinterest pin, pulled in from another website. Embedded content from other sites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited that other website directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor how you interact with that embedded content, all according to their own privacy practices rather than ours.
Links to Other Websites
Decor Texture links out to other websites regularly, whether that’s a retailer, a product page, or another blog. Once you click through to one of those sites, this privacy policy no longer applies. We’d encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before sharing information with it, since Decor Texture has no control over how those sites operate.
Advertising Partners
Decor Texture may work with third-party advertising partners, either now or in the future, to display ads on the site. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your visits here and elsewhere online, in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may interest you.
If you’d like to opt out of this kind of interest-based advertising, you can do so through the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info or the National Advertising Initiative at optout.networkadvertising.org.
Affiliate Links and Amazon Associates
Many of the products mentioned on Decor Texture, whether it’s a specific rug, a paint color, or a piece of furniture, are linked using affiliate programs. This means Decor Texture may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. Decor Texture is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. Products are recommended based on genuine use or research, not solely because of a commission relationship.
When We Share Information With Others
Decor Texture doesn’t sell personal information. That said, information may be shared in a few limited situations: with service providers who help run the site (such as hosting, email delivery, or analytics tools), when required by law or to comply with a legal process, or in the event Decor Texture is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case visitor information would likely be one of the assets transferred.
Our Newsletter and Email Updates
If you sign up for updates from Decor Texture, your email address is used only to send the content you signed up for, whether that’s new articles, project ideas, or occasional partnership announcements. Every email includes a clear and easy unsubscribe link, in line with CAN-SPAM requirements, and you can opt out at any point without needing to contact anyone directly.
How to Opt Out
Beyond unsubscribing from emails, you can opt out of cookie-based tracking through your browser settings, opt out of interest-based advertising through the links listed in the Advertising Partners section above, and request that any personal data held by Decor Texture be deleted by emailing the address at the bottom of this page.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you’re located in the European Union, you have specific rights over your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to:

Your Rights Under CCPA
If you’re a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to request deletion of that information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (Decor Texture does not sell personal information, but this right is still disclosed as required). Requests submitted under the CCPA will be responded to within one month.
How We Protect Your Information
Decor Texture uses reasonable, industry-standard security measures to protect the information collected through this site. That said, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is ever completely secure, and absolute security can’t be guaranteed.
How Long We Keep Your Information
Comments left on Decor Texture are generally retained indefinitely, since they remain part of the public discussion on an article and may need to be referenced for moderation purposes. Newsletter data is kept for as long as you remain subscribed, and removed upon request or unsubscribe. Other information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in law, in the tools Decor Texture uses, or in how the site operates. Continued use of Decor Texture after an update means you accept the revised policy. It’s a good idea to check back on this page occasionally, since updates won’t always be announced separately.
Effective Date: September 2026
