Privacy policy

Effective July 24, 2026

Current practices

Home Routine Guide provides public webpages, browser-based planning tools, a browser-saved checklist, a business contact mailbox, and an optional email newsletter. The site does not currently offer user accounts, process payments, or intentionally collect sensitive home records.

Browser-saved tool data

The interactive First 30 Days checklist uses your browser’s local storage to remember completed items. The maintenance budget and contractor-comparison tools perform calculations in your browser. Information entered into those tools is not intentionally transmitted to Home Routine Guide by the tools themselves. You can remove saved checklist information by using its reset button or clearing browser site data.

Newsletter and Kit

Home Routine Guide uses Kit, an email-marketing service, to operate newsletter signup forms and send subscriber emails. When you subscribe, Kit may process information such as your email address, signup time, consent or confirmation status, source form, IP address, and email-delivery or engagement information needed to operate and protect the service.

Newsletter signup is optional and separate from ordinary messages sent to info@homeroutineguide.com. Subscribers may unsubscribe using the link included in marketing emails. Removing yourself from the newsletter does not automatically delete unrelated correspondence you previously sent to the business mailbox.

Kit’s own terms and privacy practices also apply to information it processes as our service provider. The signup form may load code and other resources from Kit-controlled domains.

Business email

Readers may contact us at info@homeroutineguide.com. Email messages normally include the sender’s address, message content, technical routing information, and anything the sender chooses to include. Do not send passwords, payment information, full inspection reports, government identification numbers, or other sensitive records.

Hosting and routine technical data

The site is currently hosted through GitHub Pages. Hosting providers and internet infrastructure may process routine technical information such as IP address, browser type, request time, referring page, and error or security logs as part of delivering and protecting the service. Their processing is governed by their own policies.

Fonts and external links

The site currently requests fonts from Google Fonts. External links may take you to government agencies, manufacturers, retailers, Kit, or other websites. Those services may collect information under their own privacy policies. Home Routine Guide does not control third-party sites.

Analytics and advertising

Home Routine Guide does not currently run a separate sitewide advertising tracker or dedicated web-analytics product. Kit may provide form and email reporting connected to newsletter operation. Before adding broader analytics, advertising, affiliate tracking, or similar technologies, this policy will be updated and any legally required notices or choices will be implemented.

Payments and digital products

No payments are currently processed on the site. Before paid products launch, this policy will identify the payment and delivery providers used and describe the categories of information involved.

Home-related information

Future tools may let users organize home systems, maintenance history, or documents. We intend to minimize collection and favor on-device storage where practical. No future feature should be assumed to be private or secure until its specific privacy explanation is published.

Children

The site is intended for adults managing or purchasing a home. It is not directed to children.

Security and retention

No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Home Routine Guide will use reasonable measures appropriate to the services offered and will avoid collecting information that is unnecessary for the task. Newsletter and correspondence records may be retained as reasonably needed to operate the service, document consent, handle requests, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.

Your choices

You may choose not to subscribe, unsubscribe from marketing emails, avoid entering information into optional tools, clear browser-saved checklist data, or contact us about a privacy request. Requests may require reasonable verification before action is taken.

Policy changes

This policy will change as analytics, products, accounts, payment processing, or other features are introduced. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date.
