Privacy Policy | Disclosure for Ruby’s Cozy Cottage

At Ruby’s Cozy Cottage (“we,” “us,” or “our”), your privacy matters deeply. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard any personal information you share when you visit www.rubyscozycottage.com. Our goal is to be as transparent and respectful with your data as we are with the content we share.

Affiliate Disclosure

Ruby’s Cozy Cottage occasionally participates in affiliate marketing programs, including (but not limited to) Amazon and other thoughtfully chosen partners. This means if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. These partnerships help support the cozy, intentional content I love creating here.

Sometimes, this site may include sponsored posts or paid collaborations. Any such content will always be clearly labeled, and no matter the partnership, my words and opinions are always genuine and entirely my own.

Third-Party Links

Sometimes I link to other blogs, shops, or resources I adore. Once you leave Ruby’s Cozy Cottage, please check the privacy policies of those websites, as we’re not responsible for how they handle your information.

Use of AI Tools

I may use AI-assisted tools (like ChatGPT) to brainstorm ideas, refine writing, or help structure content. All final edits and creations are lovingly curated by me to reflect the warm, intentional voice of Ruby’s Cozy Cottage. The stories, images, and moments shared are always rooted in real life.
