Privacy Policy
At Sanctuary Style (sanctuarystyle.de), I believe your privacy deserves as much respect as your personal space. This policy outlines how your personal information is collected, used, and protected when you visit this website.

When you visit the site, we may collect certain information to help the website function properly and to improve your experience.
- Personal Data: This includes your name and email address, which is only collected if you voluntarily provide it (for example, by sending an email to contact@sanctuarystyle.de, leaving a comment, or subscribing to a newsletter).
- Automated Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect basic technical data when you browse. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and information about which pages you view and how long you stay on them.

The data collected is used strictly to maintain and improve Sanctuary Style. We use it to:
- Respond to your direct inquiries and emails.

- Analyze site traffic to understand what kind of content readers find most helpful.
- Prevent spam, unauthorized activity, or security breaches.

Sanctuary Style uses cookies—small data files stored on your device—to run the site and gather anonymous analytics.
- Analytics: We use third-party tools (like Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with the site.

Sharing Your Information
I will never sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Your data is only shared with trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating the website (such as web hosting platforms and analytics providers). These services are bound by their own strict privacy policies and only access the data necessary to perform their functions.
Your Data Rights
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or other regions with specific data protection laws (such as GDPR), you have the right to access, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you. If you have left comments or subscribed to a newsletter, you can request an exported file of your personal data or ask that we erase it entirely. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Third-Party Links
This website contains links to other websites (such as furniture retailers or design tools). Once you leave Sanctuary Style or are redirected to a third-party website, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. I encourage you to read the privacy statements of any external sites you visit.
