Privacy Policy

I respect your data and handle it with care. Here’s how I collect and use information on trayedit.com.

What I Collect

  • Your Submissions: Name, email, and message when you use the Contact form.
  • Newsletter Sign‑Ups: Email addresses only.
  • Site Usage Data: I track pages visited, time on page, and device type through Google Analytics.
  • Cookies: To save your preferences and suggest related articles—like my “DIY Three‑Tier Rustic Stand” guide.

How I Use It

  • Responding to You: I’ll reply to messages sent via the form or email.
  • Improving Content: Analytics show which posts—such as “Best Wooden Tiered Trays Under $50”—are most helpful. I then refine other guides.
  • Personalizing Recommendations: Cookies let me point you to posts you’ll likely enjoy—say, styling tips after a build tutorial.

Sharing with Third Parties

  • Service Providers: I work with trusted partners for email delivery and analytics. They get only the data needed to run the site.
  • Amazon Affiliate Links: I earn commissions on qualifying purchases. Amazon may set its own cookies to track sales. I don’t share your personal info with them.

Cookies Explained

  • Necessary Cookies: Keep basic features—login and forms—working.
  • Performance Cookies: Collect anonymous stats. You can disable these in your browser but some features may break.
  • Affiliate Cookies: Last 24 hours after you click an Amazon link. They track any purchase you make in that window.

How Long I Keep Data

  • Contact Entries: Stored up to two years, then erased.
  • Analytics Data: Held according to Google’s policy.
  • Affiliate Tracking: Managed by Amazon per their terms.

Your Rights

  • Access & Correction: Email me if you want a copy or need updates to your info.
  • Deletion: Ask me to remove your data—except logs I need for security.
  • Unsubscribe: You can opt out of emails at any time via the link in any newsletter.

To exercise any right, email me at wayne@trayedit.com or use the form on the Contact page.

Kids’ Privacy

I don’t target kids under 13. If you believe I’ve collected data from a minor, let me know. I’ll delete it at once.

Updates to This Policy

I’ll post changes here when needed. Check back to see the latest version.
