Privacy policy

What we collect

Reading this site requires no account and no personal information. We collect personal information only when you choose to give it to us:

• Estimate requests: your name, email, phone number if provided, and the project details you describe.
• Contact form: your name, email, and message.
• Newsletter: your email address.

Like most websites, our hosting and analytics may also record standard technical data such as pages visited, approximate location from your IP address, and device type.

How we use it

• Estimate requests are shared with the local professionals we match you with, so they can contact you. That is the entire point of the form, and it is the only place your request goes.
• Contact messages are used to respond to you.
• Newsletter emails are used to send the newsletter you signed up for.
• Aggregate analytics are used to understand which guides help people, so we can write better ones.

What we never do

• We never sell your personal information.
• We never add you to a mass lead list or share your request beyond your matched pros.
• We never send marketing email you did not sign up for.

Third party services

This site is hosted on Netlify, which processes form submissions on our behalf. If we use analytics, the provider and its role will be listed here. Matched professionals are independent businesses; once you engage one directly, their handling of your information is governed by their own practices.

Your choices

You can ask us to delete your submitted information, unsubscribe from the newsletter with one click at any time, and browse every guide on this site without telling us anything. For deletion requests or privacy questions, contact us.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, we will update the effective date above and note the change plainly rather than burying it.
