Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Dwell-Fix ("we", "us", "our") collects when you visit dwell-fix.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep our data collection minimal by design: we are an editorial content site, not a membership platform, and we do not ask you to create an account or hand over personal details to read our guides.
Information we collect
We collect two categories of information:
- Usage data — aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors use the site (pages viewed, approximate location by region, device type, and referral source). This is collected through privacy-focused analytics and does not identify you by name.
- Consent preferences — a local record of your cookie and tracking choices, stored in your browser so we remember your selection on future visits.
We do not collect names, email addresses, or other directly identifying personal information through the normal use of this site.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use a small number of cookies and similar storage to make the site work and to understand aggregate usage. These fall into two groups:
- Essential — required for core functionality, such as remembering your consent choice. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics — used to measure site performance and understand which content is useful. Where required by law, these only load after you consent.
See our Cookie Policy for the full details.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, secure, and improve the website;
- Understand which guides are most helpful so we can prioritize future content;
- Prevent abuse and maintain the security of the site.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it to serve behavioral advertising.
Affiliate links and third parties
Some links on dwell-fix.com are affiliate links to retailers such as Amazon. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. When you click an outbound link, that retailer's own privacy practices apply. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit after leaving ours. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.
Data sharing
We share information only with the service providers who help us operate the site (for example, our hosting and analytics providers), and only to the extent necessary to provide those services. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing (for example, under the GDPR in the European Economic Area or the CCPA in California). You can exercise control directly by:
- Using the consent banner to accept or reject analytics cookies;
- Clearing cookies in your browser settings;
- Contacting us with a specific request (see below).
Data retention and security
We retain usage data only as long as needed for the purposes described here, and we apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we take commercially reasonable steps to safeguard your data.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
