This privacy policy explains what information Home Improve Guide (homeimproveguide.com) collects from visitors, how that information is used and what choices visitors have. It applies to the website only. The policy was last updated in October 2026.
Information the calculators use
The calculators run in the visitor’s own browser. Dimensions, quantities and settings entered into a calculator are processed on the device to produce the result and are not sent to or stored on the site’s server. Copying a result uses the browser’s clipboard and printing uses the browser’s print function.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, the server and the hosting provider’s network record standard technical data when a page is requested, such as the IP address, browser type, the page requested, the referring page and the time of the request. This data is used to deliver pages, keep the site secure, block abuse and understand overall traffic. Hosting security checks may set short lived cookies to confirm that a visitor is a real browser.
Messages sent to contact@homeimproveguide.com are used only to answer the message, handle the correction or request it contains and keep a record of that exchange. Email addresses are not sold, rented or added to a mailing list.
Cookies and advertising
The site may display advertising, including ads served by Google. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Visitors can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com, and can opt out of some third party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. Where the law requires consent before such cookies are set, a consent choice is offered before advertising cookies are used.
Analytics
The site may use privacy respecting analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. Analytics data is reviewed in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.
Children
The site is intended for adults planning home projects. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Data retention and security
Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting and are then deleted on the hosting provider’s schedule. Email correspondence is kept as long as needed to handle the request. Reasonable technical measures protect the site, though no website can guarantee complete security.
Visitor rights
Depending on the state of residence, visitors may have the right to ask what personal information is held about them, to have it corrected or deleted, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. The site does not sell personal information. Requests can be sent to contact@homeimproveguide.com and are answered within the time the applicable law allows.
Changes to this policy
The policy may be updated as the site adds features, such as advertising or analytics. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version. Use of the site is also covered by the terms of use.
