Welcome to Lila Haven Home! Your privacy is incredibly important to me, and I want you to feel confident, safe, and fully informed while browsing, cooking from, or interacting with anything on lilahavenhome.com.

- Email service providers
- Analytics platforms (like Google Analytics)

These third parties only receive information necessary to perform specific tasks and are required to protect your data.
Affiliate Links
Some posts may contain affiliate links. Clicking those links may allow third-party partners to track that referral. This does not cost you anything, and it helps support the blog.
4. Advertising & Analytics
A. Google Analytics
This tool helps me understand user behavior (what pages people visit, how long they stay, and more). It does not collect personally identifiable information.
B. Third-Party Advertisers
Ads may appear on the site through ad networks like Google AdSense or others. These networks may use cookies to:

You can opt out of personalized advertising through your Google account or browser settings.

The site may include links to external websites. Once you leave lilahavenhome.com, I can’t control how those sites handle your data. Always review their privacy policies if you have concerns.

This site is not intended for children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If I become aware that such information was collected, it will be deleted immediately.

You can unsubscribe from emails anytime by clicking the link at the bottom of any newsletter.
8. Data Protection & Security
I take your privacy seriously and use reasonable technical measures to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure, and you use the site at your own risk. If a data breach ever occurs, I will take appropriate steps to address it.
9. Updates to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in laws or website operations. The “Last Updated” date will always indicate when it was revised. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
