Boring but important
Legal stuff,
in human language.
How this site earns money, handles information, uses outside media and gets a little help behind the scenes.
The short version
The Rebel Housewife is created, directed and edited by Kate Marie. Some links earn commission, some photographs and videos are used under permission or licence, and some practical and technical work is assisted by AI. Nothing is published without human direction and review. Your email address is used only for the newsletter you request, and it is never sold.
Made by a person, with assistance
Human-made. AI-assisted.
The Rebel Housewife belongs to and is editorially controlled by Kate Marie. The ideas, lived experience, opinions, humour, product selections, practical judgement, photographs, testing and final publishing decisions are human work.
AI tools, including ChatGPT, may assist with research organisation, first drafts, editing, coding, layout, accessibility text and some illustrative imagery. Kate supplies the creative direction, checks the work, corrects errors and decides what appears on the site.
Some editorial lifestyle images use Kate’s likeness and have been created or adjusted with AI from photographs she supplied. They are intended as recognisable illustrations of the article—not documentary proof that a particular moment happened. Product-room compositions may also be illustrative. Exact product photographs are identified or linked at the retailer.
In other words: AI is one of the tools in the cupboard. It is not the housewife, the editor or the person making the tea.
How the site earns money
Affiliate links and advertising
Some links are affiliate links. If you click one and make a qualifying purchase, The Rebel Housewife may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Commercial articles and product links are labelled clearly near the relevant content; this page is additional information, not a substitute for those labels.
The site currently participates in affiliate programmes including Amazon and TEMU and may work with other retailers in future. Unless an article explicitly says otherwise, inclusion means the item was selected as a potentially useful or interesting find—not necessarily that Kate has bought or personally tested it.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Retailers control their own prices, stock, delivery, descriptions, returns and terms. These can change after an article is published, so check the retailer’s current listing before buying. There is never any obligation to purchase everything—or anything—mentioned here.
Use your sensible head
Information, safety and results
Articles are shared for general information and inspiration. They are not medical, mental-health, veterinary, legal, financial or other professional advice. Individual homes, bodies, children, animals and circumstances vary.
Follow product labels, manufacturer instructions and current professional safety guidance. Take particular care with allergies, skin sensitivities, medicines, food hygiene, heat, flames, electrical items, children and pets. Stop if something seems unsafe or unsuitable and seek qualified advice where needed.
DIY and craft results naturally vary. Measurements and instructions are checked with care, but no promise is made that every project will suit every material, property or ability level.
Words, pictures and other people’s work
Copyright and media
Unless credited otherwise, original writing, branding and photographs on this site belong to The Rebel Housewife and should not be copied, republished or sold without permission. Sharing a link to an article is very welcome.
Third-party photographs are used only when there is permission, a suitable reuse licence or a genuine public-domain basis. Credits state the creator, source and licence where required, including whether an image has been cropped or otherwise adapted. A credit by itself is not treated as permission.
Images found through Google Search, Google Maps, Pinterest, social media or another website are not automatically free to reuse. Google Maps imagery will not be downloaded and republished as an ordinary site photograph. Where helpful, the site may use Google’s official map or Places features under their applicable display and attribution requirements.
Videos, maps and social posts
Embedded content
Articles may contain official embeds from services such as TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo or Google Maps. Embedded content remains hosted and controlled by the original provider and creator; The Rebel Housewife does not download or claim ownership of it.
Opening or playing an embed can allow that provider to receive technical information about your visit and may allow it to use cookies or similar technologies under its own privacy terms. Where practical, third-party media will be presented as click-to-load so that it does not connect until you choose to view it.
An embed may stop working if the creator deletes it, changes its privacy settings or disables embedding. The Rebel Housewife may remove or replace broken embeds and welcomes correction or rights-holder requests.

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to access, correct or erase personal information, restrict or object to its use, and withdraw consent. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Analytics, cookies and technical data
The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand broad traffic and page-performance patterns. Cloudflare describes this service as privacy-first and cookie-free. It may process technical information such as page views, referring pages, device or browser type and performance timings, rather than creating advertising profiles for The Rebel Housewife.
Cloudflare may also process requests for site delivery, reliability and security. Third-party embeds and retailer websites have their own cookie and privacy practices. Following an external link means you are visiting that organisation’s service under its terms.
If the site later adds non-essential advertising or tracking technology, this notice and any required consent choices will be updated before that technology is used.

External links and corrections
External links are provided for convenience, further reading, shopping or source attribution. The Rebel Housewife does not control external sites and cannot guarantee that their content, availability or policies will remain unchanged.
Links are checked when articles are created or edited. Retailers sometimes discontinue products or change destinations without warning. If you find a broken, misleading or incorrectly credited link, please let Kate know so it can be corrected.
This page may change as the site grows, new services are introduced or guidance changes. The date at the top shows the latest substantial update.
