Who we are
Window Cost Guide (windowscost.site) is a website about window replacement costs, run by Mark Dalton, a home improvement writer. You can contact us at info@windowscost.site.
What data we collect and why
Comments. When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
Contact emails. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever information you include so we can reply to you.
Cookies and consent. We use a cookie consent banner (CookieYes) that records your cookie consent choice so the banner does not bother you again. Necessary cookies keep the site working; we do not run analytics or advertising cookies at this time.
Analytics
We have not installed any analytics tools (including Google Analytics) on this site yet. We may add Google Analytics 4 in the future; if we do, this policy will be updated and the cookie banner will ask for your consent first.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos or images). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website, and those websites may collect data about you.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal information. Data you provide (such as emails) is used only to operate this site and respond to you.
How long we retain your data
Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized automatically. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to handle your request.
Your rights over your data
You can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or ask us to erase that data. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. Email info@windowscost.site to make a request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site changes (for example, if analytics tools are added). The “last updated” date below will reflect the latest revision.
