About this site
Riyadh Design Guide is an editorial website that publishes articles about interiors and design. It runs on WordPress and is hosted behind a caching and content delivery network (CDN). Comments may be open on some posts. We do not sell products, run ads, or operate an email newsletter from this site.
Information that reaches us
When you browse the site, our hosting environment and CDN record standard server logs. These logs typically include your IP address, the pages you request, the date and time of the request, and your browser user agent. This helps operate the site, keep it secure, and diagnose performance issues.
WordPress may set functional cookies when an administrator is logged in. If you leave a comment on a post, WordPress will process the information you submit and may store a small cookie in your browser so you do not have to re-enter your details the next time you comment.
We do not run on-site contact forms. If you write to us by email, we will receive the information you choose to send and whatever your email service includes in the message headers.
Comments
If you choose to post a comment on a page where comments are open, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and your browser user agent. This helps with moderation and site security. Comments are reviewed and may be approved or declined. Submitted comments and their metadata are stored by WordPress.
Why we use this information
• To provide the site and its content and keep it performant through caching and a CDN.
• To moderate comments and protect the site from abuse.
• To respond to inquiries sent to our published email addresses.
• To maintain security, including detecting and troubleshooting technical issues.
Cookies and local storage
This site uses a small number of functional cookies:
• WordPress sets session and preference cookies for logged-in administrators.
• If you comment, WordPress may store your name, email, and site (if you provide them) in a cookie in your browser so those fields can auto-fill next time.
We do not use analytics, advertising, or affiliate tracking cookies. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.
Who can see your data
• Site operators and editors, for the purposes described here.
• Our hosting provider and CDN, which handle web requests and store server logs as part of operating the service.
• WordPress software running on our server processes submitted comments and administrator sessions.
We do not share data with advertising networks, analytics providers, or affiliate platforms, and we do not sell personal information.
Retention
• Comments and their metadata may be kept in WordPress indefinitely so we can display approved comments and manage moderation history.
• Server and CDN logs are kept by our infrastructure providers for a limited period necessary for operations and security, in line with their policies.
• Emails you send to us may be retained as long as needed to handle your request and maintain reasonable records.
Your choices and rights
You can choose not to post a comment. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some site functions for administrators and commenters rely on them.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to receive a copy of your data in a portable format. You can also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been infringed.

Children
This site is intended for a general audience interested in design. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children.
International access and the CDN
Because we use a caching/CDN service, requests to our site may be routed through servers in multiple regions. This routing is used to deliver pages quickly and protect the site, and it does not add advertising or analytics tracking.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page. The latest version will always be available at riyadhdesignguide.com.
