Privacy Policy
What we collect
The Remodel Guide collects minimal information from readers. The categories of data we may collect:
- Email addresses you provide when subscribing to our newsletter
- Standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages viewed) for security and performance monitoring
- Anonymous analytics data via Google Analytics or similar tools
- Affiliate referral cookies set when you click product links to Amazon and other merchants
We do not collect, store, or sell personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary to operate the site and respond to your direct inquiries.
How we use your information
Email addresses you provide are used solely to send our newsletter (The Remodel Brief) and respond to questions you send us. We do not sell, rent, or share email addresses with third parties.
Server logs and analytics data are used to understand which articles readers find useful, identify technical issues, and improve site performance. This data is aggregated and anonymized.
Cookies and tracking
The Remodel Guide uses cookies for three purposes:
- Functional cookies: required for the site to operate (e.g., remembering your cookie preferences).
- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics or similar tools to understand reader behavior in aggregate. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Affiliate cookies: If you click an affiliate link on our site, the merchant may set a cookie to track the referral. This may allow us to earn a commission when you purchase. We do not control or have access to these cookies.
Affiliate disclosure
The Remodel Guide may participate in affiliate marketing programs with merchants whose products we cover. When affiliate links are present, the merchant may pay us a small commission if you make a qualifying purchase at no additional cost to you. This applies whether or not affiliate links are currently active on the site. See our full affiliate disclosure for details.
Third-party services
Our site uses third-party services that may collect data about visitors:
- Google Analytics for traffic and behavior analytics
- Google Fonts for font delivery
- Tailwind CSS CDN for styling
- Newsletter platform (to be added) for email subscription management
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing data collection and use.
Your rights
You have the right to: request access to data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data (especially newsletter subscriptions), and opt out of analytics tracking.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@theremodelguide.com. Newsletter unsubscribe links are included in every email we send.
Children
The Remodel Guide is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be noted with a revised "last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes implies acceptance of the updated policy.
