Privacy Policy

ClarityHeat is committed to protecting your privacy. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Our goal is to keep things simple, transparent, and respectful.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimal information required to operate the site and improve the Heat Pump Bid Decoder tool. This may include:

• Anonymous website analytics (page views, device type, general location)
• The text you paste into the Bid Decoder (processed once to generate an analysis)
• Optional details you choose to provide (region/city, home characteristics)

We do not collect email addresses, personal identifying information, or account details unless you explicitly provide them through a form (e.g., newsletter signup — which we may add in the future).

2. How Your Data Is Used

The bid text you paste into the Bid Decoder is:

• Sent securely to our analysis engine to generate the explanation
• Used only for that single request
• Not stored by us

Anonymous analytics help us understand usage patterns and improve your experience.

3. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted services such as:

• Website analytics providers (e.g., Plausible, Google Analytics)
• AI processing APIs (e.g., OpenAI) to generate explanations
• Affiliate or lead partners when you click outbound links

These services may collect limited technical data (e.g., device type, browser, approximate location). They do not receive personal information from us.

4. Cookies

ClarityHeat may use lightweight cookies for analytics or to remember user preferences. We do not use cookies for targeting or invasive tracking.

5. Links to Other Sites

ClarityHeat contains links to third-party websites (contractor networks, rebate programs, product recommendations). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect technical data and tool submissions. However, no digital system is perfectly secure. Use discretion when pasting sensitive information.

7. Children’s Privacy

ClarityHeat is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be reflected on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

9. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you may contact us through the form on the website or at the email provided in our footer (when added).
