Privacy Policy

Overview

This policy explains what information Dwellvance (dwellvance.com) collects when you use the site, how it is used, and the choices available to you. Dwellvance provides home upgrade calculators and educational content. You do not need an account to use them, and we do not ask you to submit personal information to use the calculators.

Information You Enter in the Calculators

The calculators ask for details such as ZIP code, state, home size, heating system, and energy use or cost. This information is used to produce your estimate. Calculator inputs are kept in your browser during your session and are not stored in an account or database by Dwellvance. We do not ask for your name, street address, or payment information in the calculators.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we and our third-party service providers may collect information automatically when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, the page that referred you, and approximate location derived from your IP address. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies by the services described below.

How We Use Information

We use this information to operate and improve the site and its calculators, understand which pages and tools are used, monitor performance and errors, and display advertising that helps fund the site. We may also use your email address, if you contact us, to respond to you.

Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use Dwellvance, for example which pages are viewed and how people arrive at the site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information, which is sent to Google. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We also use Google Search Console to monitor how the site appears in Google Search. Search Console reports aggregate search performance data to us and does not place tracking technologies on your device through our site.

Advertising

Dwellvance uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its advertising partners, as third-party vendors, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to Dwellvance and/or other sites on the internet.

You can manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also learn about opting out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. For details on how Google uses data in advertising, see policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

We do not control the content of third-party ads or the practices of advertisers, and an ad does not mean Dwellvance endorses the product or service.

Third-Party Services and Links

The services we use that may process visitor data are Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Google Search Console. Dwellvance also links to third-party sites, such as government and research resources. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

Your Choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them, though some site features may work differently as a result. You can use the opt-out options linked above for analytics and personalized advertising. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access to or deletion of it. To make a request, contact us at the address below.

Children’s Privacy

Dwellvance is intended for homeowners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
