Privacy Policy
Who we are
HomeForge ("we", "us") is a reader-supported website that publishes curated recommendations, guides, and project write-ups about smart-home, homelab, 3D-printing, and AI gear. You can reach us at sewer-afraid4q@icloud.com.
What we collect
We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site:
- Email address — only if you choose to subscribe to our newsletter. You give it to us voluntarily and can unsubscribe at any time.
- Basic usage data — like any website, our host and any analytics we use may record standard log information (approximate location, browser type, pages visited). We use this only in aggregate to understand what's useful.
We do not collect sensitive personal information, and we never ask for payment details on this site.
Affiliate links & cookies
Some links on HomeForge are affiliate links (see our Affiliate Disclosure). When you click one, the retailer may set its own cookies to attribute a purchase. Those cookies are governed by that retailer's privacy policy, not ours. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.
How we use your information
- To send you the newsletter and any resource you requested.
- To operate, secure, and improve the site.
We do not sell your personal information.
Your choices & rights
You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email. Depending on where you live (e.g. the EU/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. Email sewer-afraid4q@icloud.com and we'll honor valid requests.
Data retention
We keep your email only for as long as you're subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we remove or suppress your address.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes
We may update this policy; we'll change the effective date above when we do.
