This Privacy Policy explains what information Home Resilience Hub handles, why it is used, which service providers receive information, and what choices you have. It describes the site as it operates today.
Information you choose to provide
Contact messages
If you submit the contact form, you may provide a name, email address, inquiry type, and message. The form is processed by Formspree so the editorial team can receive and respond to it. Do not include sensitive medical, financial, identity, or emergency information.
Newsletter sign-up
If you choose to load and submit the newsletter form, Kit receives the email address and any other information shown in that form. Kit handles subscription delivery, unsubscribe requests, and related email records under its own terms. The Kit form does not load until you select the button that opens it.
Information handled automatically
The web host and network providers process ordinary request information needed to deliver and secure the site. This can include an IP address, browser or device information, requested URL, timestamp, and security signals. Those providers determine their own security and operational retention practices.
If you allow analytics and the site has active Google measurement identifiers, Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager may process page and interaction data. Optional Google scripts do not load before the saved choice allows them. Calculator analytics are designed to record the tool and action, not the household values entered.
The calculators otherwise run in your browser. When you choose to create a share link, the URL may contain the planning selections needed to recreate that result. Anyone who receives that link can read those values, so avoid sharing anything you consider sensitive.
Information stored in your browser
The My Household Plan, persistent checklists, and some interface preferences use local storage in your browser. Saved checklist item identifiers, calculator summaries, displayed assumptions, and review dates can remain on that device until you clear the plan or browser data. This storage is functional, stays in the browser under normal use, and does not require optional analytics consent. It is not an account, cloud backup, or secure record vault.
How information is used
We use information to:
- deliver pages and protect the site;
- respond to messages you submit;
- deliver newsletters you request;
- understand aggregate content and tool usage when analytics consent is present;
- investigate errors, abuse, or security incidents; and
- meet applicable legal obligations.
Home Resilience Hub does not sell personal information. It does not currently run a commission-based product-link tracking program or an active advertising seller account.
Service providers and external links
Current service-provider roles include:
- the hosting and network providers that deliver and protect the site;
- Formspree for contact-form delivery after you submit the form;
- Kit for newsletter sign-up and delivery after you choose to load and submit its form; and
- Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager only when configured and allowed by your consent choice.
Articles link to government, manufacturer, standards, utility, retailer, and other external sites. Once you follow an external link, that site’s privacy policy applies. A normal external link does not mean the third party sponsors or controls Home Resilience Hub.
Advertising and AdSense
Google AdSense is not active today. If advertising is enabled later, we will add the real publisher information, update this policy and the Cookie Policy, and require the appropriate advertising consent before optional ad storage or personalization is granted.
Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services in its partner-sites privacy notice. Google also provides advertising controls.
Retention
We keep information we control only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described, security, dispute resolution, or legal obligations. Formspree and Kit maintain the records they process under their own retention settings and policies; we do not promise a specific provider-retention period that the public site cannot verify. You can unsubscribe from newsletter email using the link in a message.
Consent cookies can remain for up to one year. Locally saved plans and checklist progress can remain until you clear them on the site or remove browser data. You can replace or remove consent cookies through Cookie preferences in the footer or through browser controls.
Turn off analytics for this browser
The separate browser opt-out below overrides an earlier analytics choice. It is useful for site owners, production testing, or anyone who does not want optional analytics to load on this browser. The setting lasts for up to one year unless you clear it.
This browser
Analytics opt-out
Turn off optional analytics for this browser even if an earlier cookie choice allowed it. This does not remove local household plans or checklist progress.

Your choices and requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection. The exact right and available exception depend on applicable law and our role in processing the information.
To make a request, use the contact page or email [email protected]. We may need to verify enough information to find and protect the relevant record. You can also withdraw optional cookie consent at any time from the footer.
Children
The site is written for adults planning for a household. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal information. If you believe a child has sent personal information through the site, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to this site. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Avoid sending confidential or emergency information through the contact form.
Changes and contact
We will update the date above when this policy materially changes. Questions, requests, or concerns can be sent through the contact page or to [email protected].
