Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 3, 2026

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how backyard-fire-pit-permit-navigator.hub2.day (the "Site") handles information when you visit or interact with it. The Site is a free, informational web utility that helps homeowners explore fire pit regulations, setback distances, and permit requirements based on their jurisdiction and pit type.

Information We Collect

The Site may collect or store the following categories of information:

• Browser-local project inputs: Jurisdiction names, pit dimensions, fuel types, and similar details you enter into the interactive tool are processed in your browser and may be stored locally on your device (for example, via localStorage) so you can return to your session. These inputs are not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly submit them through a contact or feedback form.
• Contact email: If you reach out to hello@backyard-fire-pit-permit-navigator.hub2.day, we will receive the content of your message and any information you voluntarily include.
• Server and security logs: Like most websites, the Site's hosting infrastructure may automatically log limited technical data such as IP addresses, request timestamps, browser type, referring URLs, and error events. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and operational troubleshooting.
• Cookies and local storage: The Site and its advertising partners may set cookies or use browser local storage for functionality (for example, remembering your preferences), analytics, and advertising purposes. See the "Advertising and Third-Party Technologies" section below.

Advertising and Third-Party Technologies

The Site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity across websites in order to serve personalized or non-personalized ads.

• In the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google will request your consent before using cookies or personal data for personalized advertising, in accordance with applicable data protection laws including the GDPR and UK GDPR. You can manage your consent choices through the cookie consent prompt displayed on your first visit.
• In the United States, particularly California, you may have the right under the CCPA/CPRA to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can exercise this right by using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link or mechanism provided on the Site, or by adjusting your cookie preferences.
• You may also manage your ad personalization settings directly through Google's Ads Settings or industry opt-out tools such as aboutads.info/choices.

How We Use Information

Information collected or processed by the Site is used for the following purposes:

• To operate and maintain the Site and its interactive tools.
• To respond to your inquiries sent to hello@hub2.day.
• To detect, prevent, and address security issues, abuse, or technical problems.
• To comply with legal obligations.
• To support advertising delivery and measurement through Google AdSense.

Service Providers

We rely on third-party service providers for hosting, content delivery, and advertising. These providers may have limited access to technical data (such as server logs or cookie identifiers) as necessary to perform their services. They are contractually obligated to use this data only for the purposes we specify.

Data Retention

• Browser-local data (such as your project inputs stored in localStorage) remains on your device until you clear your browser data or use the Site's reset/clear function, if available.
• Server logs are retained for a limited period consistent with operational and security needs, typically no longer than 90 days, unless a longer period is required for investigation of a specific incident.
• Contact messages are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for reasonable record-keeping.
• Advertising cookies and identifiers are subject to the retention policies of Google and its partners. Refer to Google's advertising privacy policy for details.

Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@backyard-fire-pit-permit-navigator.hub2.day and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data processed by the Site. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The Site may link to external websites, government portals, or code repositories that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

International Data Processing

The Site is hosted and operated from servers that may be located in the United States or other jurisdictions. If you access the Site from outside these regions, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country with different data protection laws than your own. By using the Site, you acknowledge this transfer.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing, and the right to object to or opt out of certain uses such as targeted advertising.

• EEA/UK residents: You may exercise your rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR by contacting us at hello@backyard-fire-pit-permit-navigator.hub2.day.
• California residents: You may exercise your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, by using the opt-out mechanism on the Site or contacting us.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy.
