Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how DIY Mastery Guide (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit diymasteryguide.com, read our step-by-step DIY home repair guides, use our DIY paint calculator or contact us. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible and to be transparent about everything we do with it. By using the website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Most of DIY Mastery Guide can be used without giving us any personal information at all. When you choose to send us a message through our contact form, we collect the name, email address and message content you provide. We do not run a mailing list or newsletter. Our DIY paint calculator runs entirely in your browser, so the room measurements you enter are never sent to us or stored on our servers. Like most websites, our hosting provider may also automatically record basic technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested in server logs for security and performance purposes.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you send us only for the purpose you provided it: to reply to your DIY questions, consider your guide requests, and respond to feedback or partnership enquiries. We never add you to a mailing list or send marketing emails. Technical log data is used to keep the website secure, diagnose problems and understand overall traffic. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.
3. Service Providers
We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to run the website. Contact form submissions are delivered to us by Web3Forms, a form-processing service that forwards your message to our email inbox, and the website itself is hosted on Vercel's infrastructure. These providers process data on our behalf and are only permitted to use it to provide their services to us. Their handling of your data is also governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
4. Cookies and Local Storage
DIY Mastery Guide does not currently use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking or third-party analytics scripts, and the website does not set cookies of its own. Our fonts and images are served from our own domain, so loading a page does not share your visit with external font or image services. If we introduce analytics, advertising or affiliate tools that use cookies in the future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.
5. Data Retention and Security
We keep contact form messages only for as long as needed to answer your enquiry and maintain a reasonable record of our correspondence. When a conversation is finished and no longer needed, we delete it from our inbox and from the form service. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encrypted HTTPS connections, to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict certain processing, or request a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, send us a request through ourcontact page and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may ask you to confirm some details first so we can make sure the request really comes from you, and we will never charge you for making a reasonable request.
7. Children's Privacy
Our DIY guides are written for adults, and many home repair projects involve tools and hazards that are not suitable for children without supervision. DIY Mastery Guide is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly. Parents and guardians who use our guides with older children should always supervise any work involving tools, ladders, electricity or water.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, the services we use or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised, and significant changes will be highlighted on this page. We encourage you to check back periodically so you always know how your information is being handled when you use DIY Mastery Guide. Earlier versions of this policy are available on request through our contact page if you need to see what changed and when.
