Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how BrightHome Guide handles information when you visit this website. We aim to collect only information reasonably needed to operate, understand, and improve the site.

Information we may collect

When you access the website, standard technical information may be processed by our hosting infrastructure, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, requested pages, date and time of access, and referring page. This information may be used for security, diagnostics, fraud prevention, and site operation.

Cookies and browser storage

The website uses browser storage to remember the choice you make in our cookie banner. This preference storage is necessary to remember your selection. Optional analytics should only be activated after you select “Allow analytics.” Selecting “Necessary only” means optional analytics cookies should not be activated.

Analytics

We may use analytics technology to understand aggregated website usage. Where consent is required, optional analytics are enabled only after consent. This template does not load a third-party analytics service by default. If one is added, this policy should be updated to identify that provider and its data practices.

How information is used

Information may be used to deliver website content, maintain security, diagnose technical problems, measure site performance where permitted, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Sharing and retention

Information may be processed by service providers needed to operate the website, such as a hosting provider. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect the security and rights of the website and its users. Retention periods depend on the purpose, applicable legal requirements, and provider settings.

Your choices

You can reject optional analytics using the cookie banner. You can also delete cookies and site storage through your browser settings. Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may provide additional rights regarding personal information.

External services

This site may link to websites or services operated by other organizations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies and are outside our control.

Children's privacy

BrightHome Guide is a general-audience household information site and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may revise this policy when the website, service providers, or applicable requirements change. The latest revision date appears at the top of this page.
