FixBeforeCall.com (“we,” “us,” or “this site”) publishes DIY home repair guides. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few limited ways:
- Contact form: if you use our Contact page, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you submit so we can reply to you.
- Comments: if comments are enabled on a post, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
- Automatically collected data: like most websites, our server and analytics tools automatically log standard information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site.
- Cookies: small text files stored on your device that help the site function and help us and our advertising/analytics partners understand how the site is used.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies on this site are used for a few purposes: remembering your preferences, understanding site traffic through analytics, and serving relevant advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking cookies may affect how parts of the site function.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site may display advertisements served by Google and other third-party advertising companies (“vendors”). These vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
- You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use partner sites or apps at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Analytics
We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use this site in aggregate. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about site usage. This data is used to improve content and site performance and is not used to personally identify you.
Third-Party Links
Our guides may link to third-party retailers, tools, or resources, and some links may be affiliate links (see our Affiliate Disclosure). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
How Long We Retain Data
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Your Rights and Choices
You can request to see, export, or delete the personal data we hold about you (for example, comments or contact form submissions) by contacting us. You can also manage advertising cookie preferences using the links in the Advertising section above, and manage general cookies through your browser settings.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
