Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Fernbrook Home Goods ("we," "us," or "our") operates as an e-commerce affiliate website dedicated to home goods. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit fernbrookhomegoods.com, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information transparently and responsibly.

Who We Are

Fernbrook Home Goods is an affiliate site. This means we recommend home products and link to third-party retailers. When you click certain links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We do not sell products directly, and in most cases we do not process your payment or shipping information ourselves — those transactions take place on the retailer's own website, governed by their privacy policies.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to operate our site, understand how visitors use it, and (where you choose) keep you updated. The categories are described below.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use several types of cookies for different purposes:

Essential cookies — Required for the website to function properly, such as remembering your cookie preferences, maintaining site security, and enabling basic navigation. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
Analytics cookies — Help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting aggregated information such as which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived. We use this data to improve our content and layout.
Affiliate cookies — Set when you click an affiliate link. These allow our partner retailers to attribute a purchase to our site so that we may receive a commission. They typically record that a referral originated from Fernbrook Home Goods and may remain active for a limited period defined by the retailer.

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings or our cookie consent banner. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the site functions.

Usage Data

When you browse our site, we may automatically collect usage data such as the pages you view, the links you click, the time and date of your visit, the amount of time spent on each page, and the referring website. This information is generally aggregated and used to analyze trends and improve the visitor experience.

Device and Technical Information

We may collect technical details about the device and connection you use to access our site, including your IP address (which may be anonymized), browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and general geographic region derived from your IP address. This helps us ensure the site displays correctly and remains secure.

Newsletter Email Address (Optional)

If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. Subscription is entirely optional and based on your explicit consent — we will only add you to our mailing list when you actively opt in. We use your email solely to send you home décor tips, product recommendations, and site updates. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you may withdraw your consent and opt out at any time.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To operate, maintain, and secure our website.
To analyze site performance and improve our content and user experience.
To attribute affiliate referrals accurately so we can earn qualifying commissions.
To send our newsletter to subscribers who have opted in.
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share your email address or personal details with advertisers for their own marketing. The only sharing that occurs is with the service providers necessary to run our site (such as analytics and email delivery providers) and the affiliate networks that record referrals, and only to the extent required to provide those services.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our site relies on third-party services, including analytics providers, email newsletter platforms, and affiliate networks. These providers process data on our behalf under agreements that require them to protect your information. Additionally, our site contains links to external retailer websites. Once you leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics and usage data are typically retained in aggregated form. Cookie lifespans vary by type and are subject to the durations set by us or our partners.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights regarding your personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation:

Right of access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure — to request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
Right to restrict processing — to request that we limit how we use your data.
Right to data portability — to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to object — to object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
Right to withdraw consent — to withdraw any consent you have given, at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

Our legal bases for processing include your consent (for the newsletter and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (for analytics and site improvement), and compliance with legal obligations. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Your Rights Under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act grants you the following rights:

Right to know — what personal information we collect, use, and disclose about you.
Right to delete — to request deletion of the personal information we have collected from you.
Right to opt out — of the sale of personal information. As stated above, we do not sell your personal information.
Right to non-discrimination — you will not receive different service or pricing for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
