Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 13, 2026
This policy explains what information HomeScoutLab collects, why, and what you can do about it. It applies to homescoutlab.com.
Who we are
HomeScoutLab is an independent review site covering roofing, gutters, and home security products. You can reach us at contact@homescoutlab.com. Our business address is Room 2404, Unit 1, Building 11, Country Garden Zuo’an, Huashan Street, Hongshan District, Wuhan 430076, Hubei, China.
Information you give us
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message, and anything you choose to attach. We keep that correspondence so we can answer you and follow up on corrections. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you explicitly ask to be added.
Information collected automatically
Like nearly every website, our server records basic technical data when a page is requested: your IP address, the page requested, the referring page, your browser’s user agent string, and the time of the request. This is used for security, troubleshooting, and aggregate traffic counting. It is not used to build a profile of you.
Cookies
This site sets only the cookies needed to function. If you leave a comment or log in, WordPress stores cookies so the site remembers your session. We do not currently run third-party analytics or advertising trackers on this site. If that changes, this policy will be updated before the change goes live.
Affiliate links and third parties
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the merchant or its affiliate network may set a cookie in your browser so the sale can be attributed to us. That cookie is set by the third party, not by us, and it is governed by that company’s own privacy policy. We do not receive your name, card details, or order contents from those companies — only aggregate reporting on clicks and confirmed sales.
How we use information
We use the information described above to answer your messages, keep the site running and secure, understand which pages are useful, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers.
Service providers
We use a hosting provider to serve this site and an email provider to receive and send mail. Those providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own terms. We do not otherwise disclose your information unless we are legally required to, or we believe disclosure is necessary to protect someone’s safety.
How long we keep it
Emails are kept for as long as needed to resolve the matter and for a reasonable period afterwards for record keeping. Server logs are rotated and deleted on a short cycle. If you ask us to delete your correspondence, we will do so unless we are required to retain it.
Your choices
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email contact@homescoutlab.com and we will respond within a reasonable period. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though logging in may not.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will be noted in plain language rather than quietly edited in.
