Privacy Policy

No accounts or profiles: the Site has no login, registration, or user-generated content areas.

Privacy-friendly analytics: we may use aggregate, privacy-oriented analytics (such as Vercel Analytics or similar tools) to understand which pages are useful. These are designed not to build individual profiles or track you across unrelated websites.

Advertising: if you consent to non-essential cookies, advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) may set cookies and collect information as described in their own policies.

Email correspondence: if you contact us at contact@homeserversguide.com, we receive the information you choose to include in your message (such as your email address and message content) solely to read and, where appropriate, respond to you.

Server and security logs: our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, and requested pages) for security, abuse prevention, and reliability.

We use collected information only to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Site; measure aggregate traffic; comply with law; and respond to correspondence you initiate.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may display advertising to keep the Site free. Personalized advertising uses cookies and similar technologies and is only enabled with your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time via the cookie banner.

If you decline non-essential cookies, we aim to serve only non-personalized advertising and essential functionality.

Third-party ad and analytics providers process data under their own privacy policies. We do not control their practices.

Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you purchase through them, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This does not affect the price you pay and does not create any obligation on our part to recommend a product.

Affiliate relationships help fund the Site but do not determine our educational content.

We retain email correspondence only as long as reasonably needed to respond, resolve an inquiry, or comply with legal obligations, then delete or anonymize it where practical.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures, but no website or email transmission is completely secure.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data we hold about you, or to object to certain processing.

To exercise these rights, email contact@homeserversguide.com with sufficient detail for us to verify and respond. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
