This policy describes what howtocleanit.org does with information. The publisher is How To Clean It. Contact: contact@howtocleanit.org or the contact page.
Information you send us
If you email us, we receive the address you write from and the message you send. We use that only to read and reply, and to keep a record of a correction or a complaint. We do not sell that information and we do not add you to a mailing list. Please do not send passwords, payment card numbers, or medical records.
Information collected automatically
The company that hosts the site, and the network that delivers it, keep ordinary server logs: IP address, browser type, referring page, the page requested, and the time of the request. Logs are used to deliver pages, diagnose errors, and block abuse. We do not use those logs to build our own advertising profile.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. This site and its partners use cookies and similar technologies as follows:
- A cookie-notice choice, stored in your browser so the notice is not shown again after you accept it.
- Google Analytics cookies, which measure how the site is used: pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, device, and browser.
- Advertising cookies, described in the next section, which third parties may set when ads are shown.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking them may stop measurement and personalized ads. The guides will still load.
Advertising, including Google
This site shows advertisements through Google AdSense and may work with other advertising partners. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.
Those vendors may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons, to collect information as a result of ad serving. That can include which ads you saw, whether you clicked them, and a cookie identifier. We do not control cookies set by advertising partners.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party cookies at the Digital Advertising Alliance and, if you are in Europe, at Your Online Choices.
How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services is explained at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Google's advertising technologies are described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland may be asked for consent before personalized ads or certain advertising cookies are used. The notice on this site records a general cookie choice. It is not a certified consent tool. Where the law requires that kind of tool, ads in those regions may be limited or non-personalized until one is in place.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to see which guides are useful. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and receives usage data from this site, including pages viewed and a rough location derived from the IP address. Google's description of that processing is in Google's privacy policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
What we do not collect on purpose
Accounts, comments, and social logins are not offered. There is no public user profile. Do not send sensitive information we did not ask for.
How long we keep information
Contact email is kept long enough to answer and to keep a record of a correction or a complaint, then deleted when it is no longer needed for that purpose. Server logs and analytics data are kept for the periods set by the host and by Google, then deleted or aggregated.
Children
The site is written for adults who clean a home. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, write to contact@howtocleanit.org and we will delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
