Privacy Policy

NationRepair ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit nationrepair.net, how we use it, and the choices you have. This policy is written for a U.S. audience.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate and improve the site:

• Basic usage data: aggregated, anonymized analytics such as pages viewed, time on page, referring sites, browser type, and approximate region.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored in your browser to remember preferences and measure performance. See Cookies below.
• Optional contact information: if you choose to email us or submit a form, we receive whatever information you provide (name, email address, message content).

We do not knowingly collect financial information, government identifiers, or precise location data.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to:

• Improve the site's content, navigation, and overall reading experience.
• Understand which guides are most useful through aggregated analytics.
• Maintain site security, prevent abuse, and diagnose technical issues.
• Respond to your messages if you contact us directly.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data to build advertising profiles ourselves.

3. Third-Party Services

To operate the site, we may use trusted third-party services. When we do, those providers may set their own cookies or collect information directly from your browser, subject to their own privacy policies.

• Analytics tools (for example, privacy-friendly site analytics) help us understand how the site is used in aggregate.
• Advertising providers (third-party advertising networks) may serve ads on the site and may use cookies, targeting tags, or other identifiers to deliver and measure those ads. Advertising and targeting pixels, where used, are loaded only after you give consent through the cookie banner.
• Hosting and security providers may process technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the site safely.

We choose providers that publish their own data-handling commitments. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party sites linked from our content. For information about how our analytics, advertising, and targeting providers handle data, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

4. Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data stored in your browser. We use two categories:

• Essential cookies / local storage needed for the site to function (for example, remembering your light or dark theme preference). These are always active.
• Non-essential cookies used for analytics and advertising. These are loaded only after you give consent through our cookie banner.

The first time you visit, you will see a banner at the bottom of the screen with Accept and Reject options. Your choice is saved in your browser so the banner does not appear again on your next visit. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for nationrepair.net.

The categories of cookies and similar technologies used on this site are:

• Analytics cookies — typically expire between 24 hours and 2 years.
• Advertising and targeting cookies — typically expire after 30 days.
• Theme preference (local storage) — persists until browser data is cleared.

5. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, or to opt out of certain types of processing. Because we collect very little personal data, most requests can be honored simply by emailing us. Contact support@nationrepair.net with your request.

6. Children's Information

NationRepair is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain analytics data only as long as needed to understand site trends. Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. We use industry-standard measures to protect the limited information we hold, but no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable U.S. state law.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

9. Your California Privacy Rights — Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give you specific rights regarding your personal information. NationRepair does not sell personal information for money. However, certain advertising and analytics cookies (when you accept them) may share limited identifiers — such as cookie IDs, device type, and browsing activity on our site — with third-party advertising partners. Under California law, this counts as "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

You have the right to opt out of this sharing at any time. To exercise this right:

• Reject non-essential cookies in our cookie banner — this is the most direct way to stop sharing. If the banner is not visible, clear nationrepair.net site data in your browser to make it appear again, then choose "Reject all".
• Email us at support@nationrepair.net with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share". We will honor your request without requiring an account or verifying your identity beyond what is necessary.
• Send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from a supporting browser or extension. We treat valid GPC signals as a request to opt out of sale and sharing.

You also have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, the right to delete it, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

10. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other states with applicable privacy laws may have rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of the sharing of their personal data. To exercise these rights, email support@nationrepair.net.
