Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Nook & Lease (“we,” “us”) collects when you visit nookandlease.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it short and plain on purpose. Questions? Email hello@nookandlease.com.

The short version

  • We don’t sell your personal information for money.
  • Our calculators run in your browser. The measurements you type are not sent to us or stored.
  • We may use cookies for analytics, affiliate tracking and, in the future, ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and comment you enter, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam. If you join our email list, we collect your email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our host keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, date and time) for security and troubleshooting. Analytics and advertising tools may also collect device and usage information through cookies and similar technologies, as described below.

Calculators. The wallpaper, rug and sofa calculators work entirely in your browser. We don’t receive the numbers you enter. If analytics is turned on, we may record that a calculator was used (for example, “rug calculator used”), but not your measurements.

How we use information

  • To run, secure and improve the website and our tools.
  • To reply to your emails and moderate comments.
  • To send our newsletter if you sign up (you can unsubscribe from any email).
  • To understand which articles and tools are useful, and to earn commissions and ad revenue that keep the site free.

Cookies and third-party services

Some features rely on services run by other companies. Each one handles data under its own privacy policy. Depending on the service and when it is active on our site, these may include:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics 4, to measure visits and popular pages. Google describes its practices at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
  • Email sign-up and site tools: Grow by Mediavine, which may set cookies to remember your preferences and manage subscriptions.
  • Affiliate links: when you click a product link, the retailer or an affiliate network (such as Impact, CJ or Awin) may set a cookie so they can credit us if you buy. You pay the same price either way. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
  • Advertising: in the future we may show ads through an ad management partner such as Journey by Mediavine. Ad partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your interests and to measure ad performance. We will update this policy with partner details and opt-out links when ads go live.
  • Pinterest and social sharing: if you click to save or share a page, that platform’s own policies apply.
  • Embedded content: pages may include content from other websites (for example, videos). Those embeds behave as if you visited the other website and may collect data about you.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. You can also opt out of interest-based ads from many companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.

Sharing

We share information only with the service providers listed above, with our web host (Hostinger) and email routing provider (Cloudflare) so the site and inbox work, and when required by law or to protect the site and its users. We don’t sell your personal information for money. Some state laws treat certain ad and analytics cookies as a “sale” or “sharing” of data; if we add interest-based ads, we will provide a clear way to opt out.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live — including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and other US states, the UK and the EU — you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising or the “sale” or “sharing” of your data. To make a request, email hello@nookandlease.com. We will respond within the time required by law and won’t treat you differently for using your rights.

How long we keep data

Comments and their metadata stay as long as the comment is published. Emails stay in our inbox until we no longer need them. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings of the analytics provider.

Children

This site is meant for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

Security

The site uses HTTPS, and we limit who can access the admin area. No website is 100% secure, so please don’t email us sensitive information such as passwords or payment details.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our tools or partners change, and we will change the “Last updated” date at the top. Big changes will be noted on this page.
