Overview
Dorm Room Blueprint ("we," "our," or "this site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we may collect when you visit or interact with this site, how we use it, and the choices you have.
This site is primarily a static content site — most visitors read articles without submitting any personal information. The sections below describe the limited ways information may be collected.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit this site, our hosting provider may automatically log basic technical data, including:
- Your IP address (used for security and to prevent abuse)
- Browser type and version
- The pages you visit and how long you spend on them
- The page you came from before arriving here (referrer URL)
- Date and time of your visit
This data is collected for security and performance purposes. It is not used to identify you personally.
Information You Provide
This site may offer an email signup form for a free checklist or newsletter. If you choose to submit your email address through that form:
- Your email address is collected and stored by a third-party email service provider
- It is used only to send you the content you requested (such as the free checklist) and occasional related updates
- You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email
- We do not sell or share your email address with other companies for their marketing purposes
If you submit a message through the Contact page, your name and email address are used only to respond to your message.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser when you visit a website. This site may use cookies in the following ways:
- Analytics cookies — If we add a website analytics tool (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-friendly alternative), it may set cookies to track aggregate traffic patterns. Analytics data is not used to identify individuals.
- Affiliate cookies — When you click an affiliate link on this site, the retailer (such as Amazon) may set a cookie in your browser to track whether your visit resulted in a purchase. This is how affiliate commissions are tracked. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more details.
You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not prevent you from reading content on this site, but it may affect how affiliate links function.
Analytics
We may use a third-party analytics service to understand how visitors use this site — for example, which articles are most popular or how visitors navigate between pages. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. If and when analytics are added, this policy will be updated with the name of the service used.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
This site contains links to external websites, including affiliate links. When you follow a link to another site, that site operates under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites. See our Affiliate Disclosure for information about how affiliate links work.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to this site, please contact us so we can remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time as the site grows or as laws change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when it was most recently revised. Continued use of this site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
