Privacy Policy

Welcome to House Furnish World. We are a Nashville-based home furnishings company passionate about bringing globally inspired, thoughtfully designed furniture and decor to your doorstep. Just as we carefully curate our collections—from Adirondack Chairs to Bakers’ Racks and Kitchen Utensil Sets—we are equally thoughtful in how we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit housefurnishworld.com.

We serve a global community of style-conscious individuals who value quality, design, and a seamless, trustworthy shopping experience. Our approach to privacy reflects our core values: simplicity, security, and transparency. We believe you should feel as secure sharing your information with us as you feel relaxing in one of our comfortable chairs.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our services and enhance your experience, we collect information that you provide directly and through automated technologies:

• Personal Identifiers: Name, email address, shipping/billing address, and phone number when you create an account, make a purchase, or contact our customer service.
• Payment Information: When you make a purchase, our secure payment partners (like PayPal and our credit card processor) collect your payment details (e.g., card type, last four digits). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
• Transaction & Order Details: Information about the products you purchase (such as Fire Pits, Living Room Furniture, or Artificial Greenery), order totals, and shipping history.
• Technical & Browsing Data: Through cookies and similar technologies, we collect your IP address, browser type, device information, pages you view on our site (like our Camping Gear or Home Decor sections), and how you interact with our website.
• Communications: Records of your communications with our Nashville-based team via email (e.g., [email protected]).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information with the same care we put into selecting our products, solely for legitimate business purposes:

• To process and fulfill your orders for Furniture, Kitchen & Dining items, or any other products, including calculating taxes and shipping (e.g., our flat-rate $12.95 Standard Shipping or Free Shipping on orders over $50).
• To communicate with you about your order status, provide customer support, and respond to your inquiries.
• To improve our website and product offerings (e.g., understanding which categories like Bathroom Mirrors or Floor Lamps are most popular).
• To send you marketing communications (if you have opted in) about new arrivals, promotions, or design tips for your space. You can opt-out at any time.
• To prevent fraud and enhance the security of our website and payment systems, ensuring a secure and transparent checkout process as described on our homepage.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We treat your data with the same respect we extend to our customers. We do not sell your personal information. We only share it in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share data with trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing (PayPal, credit card gateways), order fulfillment, shipping carriers, and email marketing platforms. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of House Furnish World, our customers, or others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but will remain subject to this Privacy Policy.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your security is our priority, just as the quality of our products is. We implement robust measures to protect your information:

• Secure Storage: We store your personal data on secure servers and retain it only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations.
• Encryption & Security: Our website uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for all data transmissions. Our payment gateway encrypts your financial details, and we do not store your full payment information on our servers.
• International Transfers: As we serve customers globally (excluding some Asian and remote regions), your data may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your personal information, consistent with applicable laws (such as GDPR for European residents or CCPA for California residents):

• Access & Correction: You can access and update your account information (like your address for shipping Bedroom Furniture) by logging into your account on our website.
• Marketing Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from our marketing emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email.
• Data Deletion: You may request the deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions (e.g., we may need to retain order records for tax purposes).
