Welcome to MakeMaintain (https://makemaintain.com). MakeMaintain is a home care website that publishes practical guides on cleaning, home improvement, organization, and decor, along with a few free calculators. The site is operated by Muhammad Hanzala. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us
You can read almost everything on our website without giving us any personal information. If you contact us through our Contact Us form or by email at contact@makemaintain.com, we receive the details you choose to send, such as your name, email address, subject, and message. We use this information only to read and reply to your message.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, when you visit we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- Your IP address (which may be shortened or anonymized by some services)
- Browser type, device type, operating system, and screen size
- Pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and how long you stay
- The website or link that referred you to us
- Approximate location (such as country or city) based on your IP address
This information helps us understand how the website is used, keep it secure, and improve our content. It is generally collected in an aggregated form that does not directly identify you.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your questions, feedback, and topic suggestions
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and our guides
- Understand which content is useful to readers through analytics
- Display advertising that helps fund the website
- Protect the website against spam, abuse, and security threats
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not use the details you send through our contact form for advertising.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We and our partners also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These are used for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: needed for the website to load and work properly and to keep it secure.
- Analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the website (for example, which pages are most popular).
- Advertising cookies: used by Google and other third-party vendors to show ads and to measure their performance, as explained below.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies or only third-party cookies. Please note that blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the website work. Where required by law (for example, for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time through the cookie or consent settings on this site, where available.
4. Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may display advertisements on this website through Google AdSense or similar advertising services. When ads are shown, Google and other third-party vendors that serve ads on our site use cookies, and may use web beacons or similar technologies, to collect information as a result of ad serving.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices, or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. Visitors in Europe can also use Your Online Choices.
To learn more about how Google uses data when you visit sites that use its services, please read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Other advertising partners
Because ads on our site may be served through Google’s advertising network, other Google-certified third-party vendors and ad networks may also place and read cookies in your browser to show you ads. Google publishes a list of these providers at Google’s ad technology providers page, where you can also find their privacy information and, where offered, how to opt out of their use of cookies. If we add any other ad network to this website in the future, we will name it in this policy.
We do not control the cookies or tracking technologies used by advertisers or ad networks. We recommend reading their privacy policies.
5. Analytics (Google Analytics and Site Kit)
We use Google tools, including Google Analytics and Google Site Kit for WordPress, to understand how visitors find and use the website. These tools use cookies and collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser details, and how you arrived at the site. This information is reported to us in aggregated form and is used to improve our content.
To prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. We also use Google Search Console to monitor how our site appears in search results.
6. Social Media
We have pages on Facebook and Pinterest and link to them from this website. If you click those links or interact with us on those platforms, the platform may collect information about you according to its own privacy policy: Facebook and Pinterest. We do not control how these platforms use your information.
7. Calculators and Tools
Our free calculators (such as the home maintenance, paint coverage, and tile calculators) are designed to work with simple measurements and budget figures. You do not need to enter any personal information to use them, and we ask that you do not enter any.
8. Third-Party Service Providers
We use trusted third-party services to run the website, including website hosting, security, performance, analytics, and advertising providers. These providers may process information, such as your IP address and device details, on our behalf or for their own purposes as described in their privacy policies. We only work with providers that we believe handle information responsibly.
We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, to respond to valid legal requests, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our visitors, our website, or others.
9. Links to Other Websites
Our articles may link to external websites, including manufacturers, retailers, and reference sources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.
10. Data Retention and Security
We keep messages you send us only as long as needed to respond and to keep a reasonable record of the conversation, after which they may be deleted. Analytics and advertising data are kept according to the retention settings of the relevant service providers.
We take reasonable steps to protect the website and the information we hold, including the use of HTTPS and security tools. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Visitors from the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, request a copy of it (data portability), and withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent. We process personal data based on your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (such as running and securing the website and understanding how it is used), and legal obligations. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Visitors from California and other U.S. states
Depending on the state where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request deletion or correction of it, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information or of targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. However, some advertising and analytics cookies used on this website may be considered a “sale”, “sharing”, or “targeted advertising” under certain state laws. You can opt out through Google’s Ads Settings, the opt-out tools listed in Section 4, your browser’s cookie settings, or a browser signal such as Global Privacy Control. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@makemaintain.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request. Please note that we cannot identify or delete data held by third parties such as Google; for that, please use the tools provided by those companies.
12. International Visitors
Our website can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws. By using the website, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed in these locations.
13. Children’s Privacy
MakeMaintain is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in some regions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us at contact@makemaintain.com and we will delete it promptly.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the “Last updated” date below. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
