Your privacy is essential to us

At Compact Interiors, we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.

Compact Interiors’ policy is to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Compact Interiors collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Compact Interiors’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to understand better how Compact Interiors’ visitors use its website. From time to time, Compact Interiors may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Compact Interiors also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and users leaving comments on our blogs. Compact Interiors only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Compact Interiors’ websites choose to interact with Compact Interiors in ways that require Compact Interiors to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Compact Interiors gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. We collect their emails for those who wish to receive Compact Interiors updates via email. In each case, Compact Interiors collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Compact Interiors. Compact Interiors does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Compact Interiors may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. For instance, Compact Interiors may monitor the most popular pages on the compact-interiors.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spam. Compact Interiors may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Compact Interiors does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Compact Interiors discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on Compact Interiors’ behalf or to provide services available at Compact Interiors’ websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Compact Interiors’ websites, you consent to transfer such information to them. Compact Interiors will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Compact Interiors discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or another governmental request, or when Compact Interiors believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Compact Interiors, third parties or the public at large. Suppose you are a registered user of a Compact Interiors website and have supplied your email address. In that case, Compact Interiors may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or keep you up to date with what’s going on with Compact Interiors and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example, via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Compact Interiors takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of Compact Interiors may continue to use your personal information as outlined in this policy.
