This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit Before You Renovate.
Information we collect
Analytics (Umami)
We use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool, to understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are visited, referrer information, and general device/browser information). This helps us improve content and site performance.
We self-host Umami for this site, and the analytics data is processed and stored in the United States on our infrastructure.
Umami’s tracking code does not use cookies. We do not use Umami to identify you as an individual, and we do not track you across other websites.
We do not send Umami personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, or account identifiers. We do not use Umami’s “Distinct ID” feature.
We also respect your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting. If it is enabled, Umami will not record analytics for your visit.
Log and security data
Like most websites, our hosting and infrastructure may create logs for security, fraud prevention, and reliability (for example, to troubleshoot errors or mitigate abuse).
Spam prevention (Turnstile)
When you submit our contact form, we use Cloudflare Turnstile (a spam-prevention service provided by Cloudflare) to help prevent spam and abuse. Turnstile processes technical information about your device and request to help determine whether the submission is legitimate.
As part of these abuse-prevention features, Turnstile may set or read cookies or similar identifiers on Cloudflare’s domains (for example, _cfuvid on challenges.cloudflare.com).
How we use information
- Operate, maintain, and secure the site
- Measure performance and improve content
- Respond to inquiries (if you contact us)
Advertising
We do not currently run personalized advertising.
If we enable advertising in the future, the ad provider may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. We will update this policy if that changes.
Sharing
We may share information with service providers who help us operate the site (for example, hosting and analytics). We do not share information for their independent marketing purposes.
We do not sell your personal information. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Data retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required by law or needed for security and operational reasons.
Your choices
- You can control cookies through your browser settings. If ads are enabled in the future, ad providers may also offer opt-out tools.
- If you use a privacy tool that blocks analytics scripts, Umami may not load.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and not directed to children under 13 (or such other age as required by applicable law).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
