Effective Date: July 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Oriental Rug Bazaar (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website.

  1. Information We Collect Automatically
    We do not use contact forms or newsletter signups to collect direct personal identifiers like your name or email address. However, because our website is built on WordPress and utilizes traffic measurement tools, certain information is collected automatically:

    • Google Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor behavior. This tool tracks data such as your approximate geographic location, device type, browser, internet service provider, pages visited, and time spent on the site. Google Analytics anonymizes your IP address.
    • Technical Server Logs: Our web hosting server automatically logs technical data, including your IP address, browser version, operating system, referring URL, and the date/time of your visit.
  2. How We Use Your Information
    The data we collect is used strictly to maintain and improve our digital presence. This includes:

    • Analyzing traffic trends to optimize our design portfolio.
    • Ensuring the website functions correctly on all devices and browsers.
    • Monitoring website security and server performance.
  3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
    Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.

    • WordPress Cookies: Essential cookies may be set by the WordPress platform to manage site functionality.
    • Google Analytics Cookies: These performance cookies track how you interact with our website.
      You can block or delete cookies at any time through your web browser settings.
  4. Third-Party Services
    We share website usage insights with Google Analytics to process traffic reports. Google operates under its own strict privacy protocols. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any other third parties.
