Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 29, 2026
Compact Living Digest (“Compact Living Digest,” “CLD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit Compact Living Digest, how that information may be used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
Compact Living Digest is operated from Ontario, Canada.
Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the website.
Information You Provide
You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:
- submit a contact form;
- subscribe to receive emails or other marketing communications;
- contact us directly; or
- otherwise provide information through the website.
This information may include your:
- name;
- email address;
- subject and message contents;
- communication preferences; and
- any other information you choose to include in a message.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the website unless it is necessary for your request.
Email Marketing
If you choose to receive marketing emails from Compact Living Digest, we may use your email address to send you new articles, small-space ideas, product recommendations, and other updates.
Signing up for marketing emails is optional. Where express consent is requested, the checkbox will not be selected for you in advance.
You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails.
The Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation generally requires consent before commercial electronic messages are sent and includes identification information and an unsubscribe mechanism in those messages. (CRTC)
Unsubscribing from marketing emails does not prevent us from responding to a message you have sent or from sending communications necessary to address your request.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit Compact Living Digest, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our website, hosting provider, analytics services, security tools, or other service providers.
This may include:

- operating system;
- referring website;
- pages viewed;
- date and time of visits;
- approximate geographic location;
- interactions with the website; and
- information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
This information may be used to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve content and performance, detect technical or security problems, and measure traffic.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Compact Living Digest may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- keep the website functioning properly;

More information about the cookies used on Compact Living Digest and the choices available to you will be provided in our Cookie Policy.
Canadian privacy guidance specifically recognizes cookies and other non-visible tracking tools as practices that should be explained to website users. (Privacy Commissioner Canada)
Affiliate Links
Some Compact Living Digest articles contain affiliate links.
When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies, tracking identifiers, or similar technologies to determine that your visit or purchase originated from Compact Living Digest.
Those companies may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Compact Living Digest does not control the privacy practices of third-party retailers or affiliate networks.
Affiliate tracking allows CLD to receive a commission when eligible purchases are made through certain links.
How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information for purposes such as:
- responding to questions or contact requests;

- complying with legal requirements; and
- protecting the rights, property, or security of Compact Living Digest and its users.
We will not use personal information for a materially different purpose without obtaining any additional consent that may be required.
PIPEDA generally requires organizations to identify why information is being collected, limit collection to what is necessary, and limit subsequent use or disclosure to the purposes identified, unless further consent or another lawful basis applies. (Privacy Commissioner Canada)
How We Share Information
Compact Living Digest does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of selling customer lists or contact information to third parties.
Information may, however, be processed or disclosed to service providers that help operate the website and business. These may include providers of:
- website hosting;
- email delivery and email marketing;
- analytics;
- contact forms;
- spam prevention;
- website security;
- cookie management;
- affiliate tracking; and
- other technical services.
These providers may process information on our behalf in accordance with their own contractual obligations and applicable privacy requirements.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:
- comply with applicable law or a valid legal process;
- investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents;
- enforce our website terms; or
- protect our rights or the rights and safety of others.
PIPEDA makes organizations responsible for personal information under their control, including information transferred to third parties for processing. (Privacy Commissioner Canada)
Third-Party Websites
Compact Living Digest contains links to third-party websites, including retailers, affiliate partners, manufacturers, and other resources.
Once you leave Compact Living Digest, the collection and use of your information are governed by the privacy practices of the website you visit.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those websites before providing them with personal information.
Data Retention
Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required for legal, accounting, security, or other legitimate business purposes.
For example, correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period to maintain a record of an inquiry, while email marketing information may be retained as necessary to document consent and honor unsubscribe requests.
When personal information is no longer required, reasonable steps will be taken to delete, destroy, or anonymize it as appropriate.
PIPEDA requires organizations to limit retention to the period necessary to fulfill the identified purpose. (Privacy Commissioner Canada)
Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to protect personal information against loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.
No website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, Compact Living Digest cannot guarantee absolute security.
