This Privacy Policy explains what information Homeowner Cost Guide (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit www.homeownercostguide.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you email us or use our contact form, we receive your name, email address and whatever you write in your message. We use this only to reply to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server and our partners automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the page that referred you and the time of your visit.
Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies, pixels and similar tools to keep the site working, measure traffic, show ads and measure how well ads perform. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work properly if you do.
Advertising
This site is supported by advertising. We work with third-party advertising and search partners, which may include Google and other ad networks, to show ads and related search links on our pages.
These partners may use cookies and device identifiers to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites, to limit how often you see an ad and to detect fraud. Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and from many other ad companies at aboutads.info. You can learn more about how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Social media and ad measurement
We may promote our guides on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. If you arrive from one of those ads, Meta and similar platforms may receive information about your visit through tools like the Meta Pixel, so they can measure ad performance. You can manage this in your settings on those platforms.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand which pages are useful and how visitors move around the site. These tools collect information in aggregated form.
How we use information
- To run, maintain and improve the website
- To answer your messages
- To show and measure advertising
- To prevent fraud, spam and abuse
- To meet legal obligations
We do not sell your name or email address to anyone.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, including California and other U.S. states with privacy laws, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to correct it and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising.
To make a request, email contact@homeownercostguide.com. We will not treat you differently for using your rights. You can also turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser where supported.
Links to other websites
Our pages contain links and ads that lead to websites we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Children
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Data security and retention
We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website is completely secure. We keep messages only as long as we need them to respond and for normal record keeping.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.
