Who is responsible
This notice describes information processed in connection with DIYRenovator, published by DIYRenovator. Privacy enquiries: hello@diyrenovator.com.
Information and purposes
When you visit, the hosting service may process your IP address, requested address, browser details and access times to deliver pages, maintain security and investigate faults. If you email us, we process your address and message to respond and keep a relevant record. We rely on legitimate interests for proportionate site security and correspondence, and consent where required for optional storage and advertising.
Advertising and cookies
Where Google AdSense is enabled, Google and its partners may process online identifiers, IP address, device and browsing information to deliver, measure and, where consent permits, personalise advertising. Advertising availability depends on consent, eligibility and Google’s approval. See how Google uses information from partner sites and our Cookie Policy. Rejecting optional advertising consent must not prevent access to our articles.
Recipients and international processing
Hosting and email providers process data to operate the site and handle correspondence. Advertising providers process information when their services are enabled. Some providers may process information outside the UK under their applicable transfer safeguards; consult the linked provider notices for details. External websites have their own privacy practices.
Retention
We retain correspondence only as long as needed to handle the enquiry, resolve associated issues and meet legal obligations. Technical records are retained for operational and security needs under the hosting provider’s configuration. Advertising retention and cookies vary by provider and are described in the consent interface and provider notices.
Your choices and rights
You can withdraw optional consent through Cookie preferences. Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection rights include access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability and objection. Contact us to exercise a right; we may need proportionate identity verification. You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before it.
Children and changes
This publication is intended for a general adult audience. Do not send children’s personal information. We update this notice when the site’s practices change.
Current website privacy controls
Cookie preferences lets you accept or reject optional reading statistics and embedded video players. Both stay off until you choose them. The necessary preferences cookie stores only your choices, version and choice time for 180 days. You may change your choices at any time.
If you allow reading statistics, we use a session marker and short-lived, daily-changing hashed identifiers to count engaged reads without storing raw IP addresses or user agents. Aggregate article counts are retained for 30 days. If you allow embedded video, the provider receives connection information and may use its own storage. Revoking permission stops future player loads; you can also clear provider storage through your browser settings.
Advertising consent is separate and is handled by a Google-certified consent provider when advertising is configured. Managed ads remain off until that provider is configured. These controls do not prevent essential security and hosting logs.
