Privacy policy

What we collect

HomeDeskSetup does not ask you to create an account and does not collect personal information except where you actively send it: by submitting the contact form, or by subscribing to the mailing list. The calculators run entirely in your browser, and the measurements you type into them are never transmitted to us or stored anywhere.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful. It sets cookies and collects information such as pages visited, approximate location, referring site, and device and browser type. This is aggregate traffic measurement rather than an attempt to identify you. Google's handling of that data is governed by their own privacy policy, and browser level controls or Google's opt out tools will prevent this collection.

Affiliate links

Outbound product links are generally affiliate links, including Amazon links and links through other networks such as Rakuten Advertising. When you follow one, the retailer or network may set a cookie recording that you arrived from this site, which is how any commission is attributed. We receive reporting on resulting orders in aggregate, never your name, address or payment details. See the affiliate disclosure for more.

Forms and email

The contact form is delivered by a third party form service, which processes your message in order to email it to us. Mailing list subscriptions are handled by a third party form and email provider. We use addresses only for the purpose you gave them, and every mailing carries an unsubscribe link.

Fonts and embedded content

Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which involves a request to Google's servers carrying your IP address. Product images are served from Amazon's image hosts. Neither is used by us to track you across sites.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, use tracking protection, or use Google's analytics opt out. None of these will stop the site working, since nothing here requires a login and the calculators run locally.
