Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosure

1. Overview

At DIY Paver Patio (accessible from diypaverpatio.com), we prioritize the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by our website and how we use it.

2. Information We Collect

We operate most interactive tools (calculators, estimators, comparison charts) entirely inside your browser. Inputs such as patio dimensions, paving pattern, and material choices never leave your device and are not stored on our servers. We may collect limited technical data to operate and improve the site:

• Pages you visit and the date and time of your visit.
• Browser type, device type, and approximate region derived from your IP address.
• Referral source (for example, a search engine, affiliate link, or social network).
• General engagement metrics required to keep the calculators relevant and accurate.

3. Log Files & Analytics

Like most modern websites, diypaverpatio.com uses standard server log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. These are not linked to personally identifiable information and are used solely to improve our calculator tools.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We may use cookies and browser local storage to remember personalized preferences (such as recently used calculator settings or preferred units) and to analyze aggregate site traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some non-essential features may not function as smoothly. We do not use cookies to track you across other websites for advertising purposes.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

diypaverpatio.com participates in affiliate marketing and advertising programs. This means that we may earn advertising fees and commissions when you click on links to home improvement stores, equipment rental services, or tool suppliers and make qualifying purchases, at zero additional cost to you. We only recommend high-grade tools and materials tested for durability and safety.

6. Third-Party Links & Services

Throughout the site we link to third-party websites, retailers, and resources. Once you leave diypaverpatio.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party services.

7. Children’s Privacy

diypaverpatio.com is intended for adults planning home improvement projects. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will promptly remove it.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (for example, under the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the contact page.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of any information under our control. Because no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect the information we collect.
