Information We Collect

Email subscriptions: When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and the page you subscribed from. We use this to send our newsletter and optionally to identify which content drives the most subscriber interest.

Affiliate click data: When you click an affiliate link, we log the product ID and the source page. IP addresses are stored as a one-way SHA-256 hash — we cannot reverse an IP hash back to a real address.

Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic patterns. GA4 data is subject to Google's privacy policy. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

How We Use Your Data

• Email addresses are used only to send the DIY Home Security HQ newsletter
• We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties except our email service provider (MailerLite)
• Affiliate click data is used only for internal analytics
