Everyday Home Advice is an independent home-information website. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information that may be collected when you use the site and how that information may be used.

Information You Provide

You may choose to provide information when you:

  • Contact us
  • Submit feedback
  • Use a form
  • Participate in an optional survey
  • Request or connect with a home-service provider through an available feature

Depending on the feature, information you provide may include your name, email address, message, location information you choose to provide, or details related to your home-service request. Do not submit sensitive personal information through general contact or feedback forms.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, Everyday Home Advice may collect certain technical information automatically when you visit the site. This may include information such as:

  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Pages viewed
  • Referring page or website
  • Approximate location derived from technical information
  • General interaction with the website
  • Date and time of a visit

The exact information collected depends on the analytics, advertising and other technologies active on the site.

Analytics

Everyday Home Advice may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website. This information can help us understand which guides are useful, how visitors navigate the site and where the website can be improved.

Advertising

Everyday Home Advice may display advertising from third-party advertising services. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to provide, measure or improve advertising. Advertising services should be activated only after their required privacy and consent configuration has been implemented. See our Advertising Disclosure for more information about advertising on the site.

Affiliate Links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. When you follow an eligible affiliate link, the affiliate provider or retailer may use tracking technology to determine that the visit or purchase originated from Everyday Home Advice. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.

Home-Service Connections

Some pages may provide an option to connect with a home-service provider or third-party service network. If you choose to use one of these features, information related to the interaction may be processed by the provider or network involved in the connection. Third-party providers have their own privacy practices. Everyday Home Advice should clearly identify commercial service connections where appropriate.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website and services used by the website may use:

  • Cookies
  • Local storage
  • Pixels
  • Similar technologies

These technologies may support:

  • Site functionality
  • Analytics
  • Advertising
  • Affiliate attribution
  • Service-connection tracking

The technologies actually used may change as website features are added or removed.

Contact Forms

Information submitted through a contact form may be used to respond to the message, address a correction, evaluate a business inquiry or handle the reason for which the information was submitted. Contact-form submissions should not be displayed publicly.

Optional Feedback

Everyday Home Advice may ask optional questions such as whether an article was helpful or what ultimately solved a home problem. Participation should be voluntary. If aggregated homeowner information is published in the future, individual responses should not be presented as though they represent all homeowners.

Third-Party Websites

Everyday Home Advice may link to:

  • Retailers
  • Manufacturers
  • Advertisers
  • Service providers
  • Service networks
  • Other websites

Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. A link from Everyday Home Advice does not make the third-party website's privacy practices our own.

Data Retention

Information should be retained only as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, operational needs, security, legal obligations or other legitimate business purposes. Specific retention periods may vary by system and service provider.

Security

Reasonable measures should be used to protect information handled through the website. No website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children's Privacy

Everyday Home Advice is intended as a general homeowner information resource and is not designed specifically for children. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children through the site's general contact or commercial features.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website, its technology or its business relationships change. Meaningful updates should use a genuine updated date rather than automatically changing the date simply to make the policy appear recent.

Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy can be submitted through the Everyday Home Advice Contact page. This policy is intended to describe the website's privacy practices in plain language. It should be reviewed as the site's analytics, advertising, affiliate and service-connection technologies are activated or changed.
