Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how The Home Builder's Guide (ptocheia.net) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to transparency and respect for your privacy. Please note that we do not collect personal information through registrations or databases.

Information We Collect

When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain non-personal information through standard web technologies, including:

IP address and browser type
Pages viewed and time spent on site
Referral sources and navigation patterns
Device and operating system information

This data is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify you personally.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

To analyze website traffic and improve user experience
To understand which content is most valuable to our readers
To ensure the website functions properly and securely
To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We do not use this data for marketing, profiling, or selling to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our site.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to support our website operations:

Google Analytics: To track anonymous usage patterns and improve content delivery.
Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense): To display relevant, non-targeted ads based on general site content, not personal data.

These services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies. We do not control their practices and encourage you to review their policies directly.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:

Know what personal information is collected
Request deletion of their personal information
Opt out of the sale of their personal information
Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

Since we do not sell personal information and do not collect identifiable data, these rights are largely applicable to data collected by third parties. If you have concerns about data collected by Google Analytics or advertising partners, please adjust your settings through their platforms.

Children's Privacy

The Home Builder's Guide is intended for adult audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
