Information we collect
We may collect information that browsers and servers typically provide, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP. If you email us, we receive the content of your message and your email address. Our contact form does not store submissions on our servers; it opens your email client instead.
How we use information
We use information to operate and improve the site, understand aggregate traffic patterns, respond to messages you send, maintain security, and comply with law. We do not sell personal information as a standalone product.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics or a similar service) to measure site usage. These tools may set cookies or similar technologies and collect usage data on our behalf. If a measurement ID is configured for this site, analytics may run according to that provider’s settings and your browser controls.
Advertising
We may display advertising or use advertising partners in the future. Ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant ads and measure performance. When ads are active, this section and on-page notices will reflect the partners in use. You can often limit interest-based advertising through your browser settings and industry opt-out tools.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies may be used for essential site functions, analytics, and (if enabled) advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features.
Sharing
We may share information with service providers who help us host, analyze, or secure the site, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the service.
Retention
Server logs and analytics data are retained for as long as needed for operations, security, and analysis, then deleted or aggregated. Email correspondence is retained as needed to respond and maintain records.
Your choices
You can stop using the site at any time, adjust cookie and tracking preferences in your browser, and contact us with privacy questions at contact@homecost-atlas.com. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you.
Children’s privacy
The site is directed to adults researching home projects. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
