Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 26, 2026
Hearthwise is an independent informational website about home projects, repairs, appliances and practical living. This policy explains what information may be processed when you visit the site.
Information processed automatically
Our web server may process limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, including IP address, browser and device information, requested URL, referring page, date and time of the request, and server or security logs.
This information is used for site delivery, reliability, troubleshooting, abuse prevention and security. We do not use server logs to build advertising profiles.
Accounts, comments and forms
Public account registration is currently disabled. Public comments are currently disabled. Hearthwise does not currently operate a public contact form that asks visitors to submit personal information.
Cookies
Hearthwise does not currently intentionally deploy public-facing advertising or analytics cookies. WordPress may use necessary cookies for authenticated administrators and essential site functions. If analytics, advertising, consent-management or other visitor-tracking services are enabled later, this policy will be updated.
Embedded content and external links
Articles may link to or embed content from third-party websites. Loading third-party content may allow that provider to receive technical information under its own privacy policy. Hearthwise does not control third-party privacy practices.
Service providers
We use infrastructure and administrative service providers to host, secure, maintain and operate this website. Those providers may process limited technical data only as necessary to provide their services.
Data retention
Technical logs are retained only as long as reasonably needed for operations, security, troubleshooting and legal compliance, subject to the settings and retention practices of the services we use.
Your choices
You may block non-essential third-party content using your browser or privacy tools. Because public registration and comments are disabled, Hearthwise does not currently maintain visitor account profiles or public comment records.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the site adds or changes services that affect visitor data. The date at the top of this page shows the latest revision.
