Who We Are

Shinku Studio is a UK-based design inspiration blog focused on home decor and architecture content.
Our website address is: https://shinkustudio.com.

What Personal Data We Collect

We may collect and store the following types of data:

  • Email addresses: When you voluntarily sign up for our optional newsletter.
  • Analytics data: Information such as IP address, browser type, referring site, and user behaviour collected through Google Analytics.

We do not collect sensitive personal data, and we do not allow user accounts or comments on our site.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience and analyse site traffic. These may include:

  • Google Analytics (via Site Kit) to understand site performance.
  • Social Warfare to enable sharing and saving of images.
  • Ezoic cookies to deliver and personalise display advertising.
  • Stay22 — a retail affiliate link-conversion script that may set cookies and collect technical data (such as IP address, browser type, device, and region) to route product links to relevant retailers.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Email Marketing

We offer an optional newsletter through Grow by Mediavine Journey and ConvertKit (Kit).

  • At present, we have not yet sent emails via ConvertKit.
  • Anyone who subscribes will be notified before we begin sending newsletters through that platform.

If you subscribe, we may send occasional emails about new blog posts, tips, or product updates. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.

We do not share or sell your email address.

Affiliate Links & Advertising

Our site now participates in affiliate and advertising programmes, including:

  • Amazon Associates — We may earn commissions on qualifying purchases. A separate Affiliate Disclaimer page provides more details. Individual posts containing affiliate links also include a disclosure notice.
  • Journey by Mediavine — We use Journey to serve display and programmatic ads on our site. Journey may collect and use certain data for advertising purposes, including information about your device, browsing activity, and interactions with ads. For more information, see Journey’s Publisher Advertising Privacy policy.
  • Stay22 — We use Stay22’s retail affiliate script to automatically convert product links into affiliate links across supported retailers (such as Amazon, Walmart, Target, Wayfair, and other home and lifestyle merchants). We may earn a commission when readers purchase through these links at no extra cost to them. Stay22 collects technical and click-related data on our behalf as described in their Privacy Policy.

We do not control the data collected by third-party ad networks. By using our site, you consent to the use of cookies and other tracking technologies for advertising purposes as outlined by these providers.

Third-Party Tools

Our site uses Stay22’s retail affiliate script, which loads from stay22.com and may collect data about your visit (such as IP address, browser type, device, location/region, and link interactions) in order to route product links to relevant retailers and attribute affiliate commissions. This data is processed by Stay22 under their own privacy policy. We do not currently embed other third-party content such as external comment systems or videos.

International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party tools we use (including Stay22, Journey by Mediavine, Google Analytics, and Ezoic) may transfer and process your data outside the UK and EEA, including in the United States and Canada. These providers are responsible for ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place under applicable data protection laws.
