6. Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on Tidbits&Twine are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you click and make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. These small earnings help support the photography, time, and creative work that go into running this site.

I only share products I genuinely use, love, or believe in.

Amazon Associates Disclosure

Tidbits&Twine is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

7. Sponsored Content

Occasionally, Tidbits&Twine may collaborate with brands or companies for sponsored posts. Sponsored content is always clearly identified, and all opinions expressed are my own and based on genuine experience.

8. Third-Party Links and Plugins

Occasionally, we may include or offer third-party products or services. These third-party sites have independent privacy policies, and Tidbits&Twine is not responsible for their content or practices.

Social-sharing tools and embedded widgets (like Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook buttons) may collect your IP address and browser data when used.

9. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Tidbits&Twine does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or under 16 where applicable) and does not target content toward them. If we become aware of data collected from a child, it will be promptly deleted.

10. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:

  • The right to know what personal data is collected about you.
  • The right to request deletion of your personal data.
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal data.
  • The right to limit use of sensitive data (if applicable).
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise these rights, email [kim at tidbitsandtwine dot com] with “CCPA Request” in the subject line.

Tidbits&Twine does not sell or share personal information; therefore, a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link does not apply.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA / CPRA.

11. Do-Not-Track and Behavioral Tracking

Tidbits&Twine honors Do-Not-Track signals where supported by your browser.
Third-party networks may still collect aggregated, non-identifiable data for performance and reporting purposes.

We collect your email address only when voluntarily provided (for example, when you subscribe to the newsletter).

In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act:

  • Emails always include a valid physical mailing address.
  • You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of each email.
  • We never use misleading subject lines or sender names.

Unsubscribe requests are processed promptly.

13. Data Protection and Breach Policy

We follow Fair Information Practice Principles and take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

If a data breach occurs, affected users will be notified by email within seven (7) business days.

You have the right to pursue enforceable actions against data collectors or processors who fail to comply with privacy laws.
