Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 29, 2026

ADU Project Planner is an informational website for US homeowners researching accessory dwelling units. This policy explains what information may be processed when you visit or interact with the site, why it may be used, and the choices available to you.

Information you provide

If you contact us, join a mailing list, submit a correction, or use a form or planning tool, we may receive the information you choose to provide. This may include your name, email address, message, property or project details, and any files or responses you submit. Please do not provide sensitive information that is not necessary for your request.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting, content-management, caching, security, and delivery systems may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, referring page, requested pages, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP address, and server or security logs. This information may be used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, troubleshoot errors, and improve performance.

Cookies and similar technologies

WordPress and services used to operate the site may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, security, preferences, and administration. If optional analytics, advertising, embedded media, or personalization services are enabled, they may use additional technologies as described in the site’s consent notice.

You can manage cookies through the consent controls provided on the site, where available, and through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.

Analytics, advertising, and affiliate links

The site may use privacy-respecting or third-party analytics to understand general usage and improve content. If advertising or affiliate links are introduced, related providers may process information under their own policies. Commercial relationships and affiliate links will be disclosed where they appear. We do not represent that every outbound link is an affiliate link.

Embedded content and external links

Pages may link to or embed resources from government agencies, mapping services, video platforms, image providers, lenders, manufacturers, or other third parties. Those services are controlled by their operators and may collect information when you visit or interact with them. Review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

How information may be used

Information may be used to operate and secure the site; deliver requested content or tools; respond to messages; investigate errors or misuse; understand and improve site performance; maintain records; enforce applicable terms; and comply with legal obligations.

How information may be shared

We do not sell personal information for money. Information may be processed by providers that host, secure, maintain, analyze, or deliver the website; disclosed to professional advisers when reasonably necessary; transferred as part of a business reorganization; or disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, and site security. Service providers are permitted to process information for the services they provide and under their own applicable obligations.

Data retention and security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, site administration and security, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of certain personal information, or to object to or limit certain processing. We may need to verify a request before responding.

You may also manage cookies through available consent controls and browser settings. Where legally required and technically supported, recognized opt-out preference signals may be treated as a request for the browser or device that sends them.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for adults researching property projects and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when site features, providers, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date will be revised when material changes are posted. Continued use of the site after an update is subject to the revised policy.

Questions, privacy requests, or concerns about this policy can be submitted through the Contact page. Please describe the request clearly and identify the email address or interaction involved.
