Privacy Policy

Summary

HomeCostGuide does not require an account, does not sell personal information, and does not collect more data than it needs to run the site and, where enabled, measure traffic and serve advertising. The calculators on this site run entirely in your browser — the numbers you enter are never sent to us.

Information we collect

• Standard server and hosting logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) used for security and troubleshooting.
• Aggregate analytics — page views, referring pages, and general location at the country/region level — when analytics is enabled.
• Information you provide directly, such as an email address you send us through the contact page.

Cookies and advertising

Where analytics or advertising is active on this site, it is provided by third parties (such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense) that may use cookies or similar technology to measure traffic and serve relevant ads. These providers may use the information collected to personalize ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or, for Google specifically, through Google Ads Settings.

Your choices

You can browse this entire site, including every calculator and cost guide, without providing any personal information. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; doing so may affect how ads are personalized but won’t affect your ability to use the site.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we materially change how we collect or use information, we will update this page and its date above.
