Last Updated: August 27, 2025

Welcome to Dollhouse Space! Your privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website. We’ve written this to be as clear and straightforward as possible because we believe you should always know what’s happening with your data.

1. What Information We Collect and Why

We collect information to provide a better experience for our readers. This information falls into two categories:

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

This is personal information you knowingly share with us. Examples include:

Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
Contact Forms: If you contact us through a form, we will collect your name and email address so we can respond to your inquiry.

B. Information We Collect Automatically

As you browse Dollhouse Space, we may automatically collect certain non-personal information to understand our audience and improve our content. This includes:

Log Data and Analytics: Like most websites, we use services like Google Analytics. This service collects information such as your device’s IP address, browser type, pages you visited on our site, and the time and date of your visit. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning we can’t use it to identify you personally.
Cookies: Cookies are small data files stored on your browser. We use them to enhance your experience, such as remembering if you’ve visited before. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but it may affect how our website functions.

2. How We Use Your Information

We are committed to using your information responsibly. Here’s how we use the data we collect:

To Operate Our Website: To display content, manage comments, and ensure the site is secure.
To Improve Your Experience: Understanding which articles are popular helps us create more content you’ll love.
To Communicate With You: To respond to your questions, comments, or feedback. We will never send you marketing emails without your explicit consent.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, such as our hosting provider or analytics services. These parties are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes we specify.

4. Your Data Rights (U.S. Audience)

We respect your rights over your data. Depending on your location, especially for residents of states like California (under the CCPA/CPRA), you have specific rights regarding your personal information:

The Right to Know: You can request to know what personal data we have collected about you.
The Right to Delete: You can request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
The Right to Opt-Out: We do not sell personal information, so there is no need to opt out.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

6. Our Commitment to Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously. We use standard security measures, like SSL encryption (the little lock icon in your address bar), to protect our website and any data you provide. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
