Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 10, 2026. US-oriented; this is a basic policy for a static informational site.
Who we are
Water Decision Guide (“we,” “us”) operates waterdecisionguide.com for decision research on whole-house water treatment. Contact: contact@waterdecisionguide.com.
Information we collect
This site is primarily static HTML. Depending on how it is hosted and which tools we add later, collection may include:
- Server / hosting logs — such as IP address, browser type, date/time, and pages requested (typical of web hosting).
- Email you send us — if you contact contact@waterdecisionguide.com, we receive whatever you include in the message.
- Analytics or cookies (if enabled later) — if we add analytics, affiliate tracking, or similar, we will update this policy to describe them. Until then, assume only hosting-level logs apply unless your browser or network provider collects its own data.
How we use information
- To operate, secure, and improve the site
- To respond to messages you send
- To comply with law or enforce our Terms
- If affiliate links go live: to attribute referrals as described by affiliate partners (disclosed where used)
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers (hosting, email) as needed to run the site, or when required by law. Affiliate networks may receive referral/click data if you use affiliate links when those are active.
Affiliate disclosure (privacy context)
Some future links may be affiliate links. Clicking them may allow partners to know you came from this site (often via cookies or similar technologies on their side). That does not change our rule: we do not invent health or certification claims. See also our Terms.
No medical data collection purpose
This site does not provide medical advice and is not intended to collect health diagnoses. Do not send sensitive medical information by email unless necessary; prefer general questions about site content or corrections to citations.
Children
The site is directed to adults making home water-treatment decisions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Your choices (US)
You may email us to ask what contact information we hold from your correspondence and to request deletion of that correspondence where practical. Hosting logs may be retained for security and operations for a limited period according to the host. If we later add analytics with opt-out mechanisms, we will document them here.
Residents of certain states may have additional rights under state law; contact us and we will work in good faith to respond.
Security & retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate for a small informational site. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. We retain emails and logs only as long as needed for the purposes above.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
