This privacy policy explains what information is collected when you visit homerepaircostguide.com (the “Site”), how it is used and the choices you have. We have written it to meet the requirements of U.S. state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (CCPA), and the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who is responsible for your data
The Site is operated by the owner identified in our Terms of Use (the “data controller”). You can contact us about privacy at contact@homerepaircostguide.com.
Information we collect
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address, name (if you include it) and your message.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records server logs, including IP address, browser type, pages requested and the date and time of the visit. These logs are used for security and to keep the Site working.
- Cookies and similar technologies used by us and by third parties such as Google, described below.
We don’t have user accounts, comments or newsletters, and we don’t knowingly collect sensitive personal information.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
The Site is funded by ads served by Google AdSense. Please note:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
- Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are read and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser. We use this information only in aggregate to improve the Site.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:
- Necessary cookies that keep the Site secure and working.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to measure traffic.
- Advertising cookies (Google and its partners) to show and measure ads, including personalized ads where permitted.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Visitors from the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before non-essential cookies are used, through a consent message, and can change their choice at any time using the privacy settings link on the Site.
How and why we use information
- To run, secure and improve the Site (legitimate interests).
- To reply to your messages (legitimate interests or steps you ask us to take).
- To show advertising that funds the Site, and to measure traffic (your consent where required by law, otherwise legitimate interests).
- To comply with legal obligations.
Sharing of information
We don’t sell your personal information for money. We share information with service providers that help us run the Site, such as our web hosting provider and Google (advertising and analytics). Under some U.S. state laws, allowing advertising partners to use cookies for personalized ads may be considered “selling” or “sharing” personal information for targeted advertising. You can opt out as described below.
Your U.S. state privacy rights
If you live in California or another U.S. state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect and how it is used and shared.
- Access, correct or delete your personal information.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To opt out of personalized advertising, use the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the Site when it is shown, or Google’s Ads Settings. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required. To make any other request, email contact@homerepaircostguide.com. We may need to verify your request, and you may use an authorized agent.
Your rights in the EU, EEA and UK
If the GDPR applies to you, you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email contact@homerepaircostguide.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
International transfers
Our Site is hosted in the United States, and Google may process data in the United States and other countries. Where personal data of visitors from the EU or UK is transferred outside those regions, it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses used by our providers.
How long we keep information
- Emails: as long as needed to reply and handle your request, and no longer than two years unless the law requires otherwise.
- Server logs: for a limited period set by our hosting provider for security purposes.
- Cookies: for the periods set by each cookie; you can delete them at any time.
Children’s privacy
The Site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children.
Security
We use reasonable measures, including an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, to protect information. No website is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last changed.
