Disclosure & Privacy Policy

Welcome to House by the Preserve. I believe in being 100% transparent with my readers. Because this blog is a labor of love that also functions as a business, I want to disclose how I work with brands and handle your data.

1. Affiliate & Partnership Disclosure

In accordance with FTC guidelines, please be aware of the following regarding links and posts on this site:

  • Gifted Products: From time to time, I partner with brands (like my recent project with Love vs. Design) where materials or products are provided to me at no cost in exchange for a review or feature.

  • Honest Opinions: My priority is always my readers. I only partner with brands I genuinely use and love. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. I am never obligated to provide a positive review; if I don't like a product, I will tell you, or I simply won't feature it.

  • Affiliate Links: Some of the links on this website are "affiliate links." This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I may receive an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help keep this blog running!

    • I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

Readers are in no way required to click on any of the ads or the links.  You are free to completely ignore them if you should so wish. My promise you is that I will share only links that I am interested in and would purchase and use in my own home.  I will not accept any compensation for any products that I do not believe in myself.  

2. Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to me. Here is how I handle information:

  • Information Collection: I may collect personal information (like your name or email address) only when you voluntarily subscribe to my newsletter or leave a comment.

  • Cookies: This site uses cookies to enhance your experience and analyze site traffic. You can turn off the use of cookies at any time by changing your specific browser settings.

  • Third-Party Privacy: I do not share personal information with third parties, nor do I store information I collect about your visit to this blog for use other than to analyze content performance.
