Privacy Policy

HomeReadyKits (homereadykits.amped.blog) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it. Short version: we collect the minimum we need to run a newsletter and a contact form, and we never sell your data.

1. Information we collect

1a. Information you give us

• Email address and first name when you sign up for the newsletter.
• Name, email address, and message when you fill out the contact form.

1b. Information collected automatically

• Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, referrer, pages visited) kept for 30 days for security and debugging.
• Aggregate, privacy-friendly analytics (no cookies, no cross-site tracking) that record page views and referrer data in anonymized form.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any ad-tech tracking cookies.

2. How we use your information

• To send you the resources you requested (e.g., the beginner checklist PDF).
• To send the monthly newsletter, if you opted in.
• To reply to your contact-form message.
• To analyze overall site traffic and improve content. Analytics are aggregated and cannot identify you personally.

3. Third-party services

We use these vendors to make the site work. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Formspree processes newsletter and contact-form submissions on our behalf. See Formspree's privacy policy.
• Amazon Associates: when you click an affiliate link, Amazon may set its own cookies for attribution. See Amazon's privacy notice.

4. Cookies

This site does not set any cookies itself. Clicking an outbound affiliate link will typically cause the destination site (e.g., Amazon) to set its own cookies. Those cookies are governed by the destination site's policy.

5. Your rights

Whether you're in the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), or elsewhere, you have the right to:

• Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete it.
• Opt out of our newsletter at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.

To exercise any of these rights, email us.

6. Data retention

• Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe, then removed within 30 days.
• Contact-form messages: retained for up to 24 months for reference, then deleted.
• Server logs: 30 days.

7. Children

HomeReadyKits is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information, email us and we will delete it.

8. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will also be announced in the newsletter.
