Privacy Policy
EcoBoulevard (“EcoBoulevard,” “we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit [[SITE_URL]] (the “Site”).
If you have questions, contact us at info@ecoboulevard.com.
1) What this policy covers
This policy applies to information collected through the Site, including when you:
- browse pages and click links
- subscribe to our newsletter
- contact us via forms or email
- click affiliate links
- use any future features we add, such as “Find a professional”
This policy does not apply to third-party websites you visit via links from our Site.
2) Information we collect
A) Information you provide
You may choose to provide information such as:
- Newsletter sign-up: email address and any optional fields (like first name)
- Contact form or email: name, email, and message contents
- Future referral requests (“Find a professional”): details you submit about your project (see Section 5)
You control what you share. Please do not submit sensitive information you would not want stored or shared (for example, medical details).
B) Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we collect certain information automatically, which may include:
- IP address
- device type, browser type, operating system
- general location (city/region, not precise GPS)
- pages viewed, time on page, referral source
- basic usage signals (clicks, scroll depth)
This information is typically collected through cookies or similar technologies (see Section 8).
C) Affiliate link and retailer tracking
If you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar tracking to attribute a purchase to EcoBoulevard. We do not receive your payment card details, and we typically do not receive your full order information.
3) How we use information
We use information to:
- operate and maintain the Site
- publish content and improve reader experience
- respond to messages and requests
- send newsletters you opted into
- measure content performance (analytics)
- detect spam, fraud, and abuse, and protect the Site
- comply with legal obligations
We do not use your information to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects (for example, credit or employment decisions).
4) Newsletter and email
If you subscribe, we use third-party newsletter service to manage subscriptions and send emails.
The third-party service may process:
- your email address and any optional profile fields you provide
- email engagement (opens and clicks) to help us understand what content is useful and improve future emails
You can unsubscribe anytime using the link in the footer of any newsletter email.
5) “Find a professional” referrals (planned feature)
EcoBoulevard may add a “Find a professional” feature that lets you request introductions to home professionals.
If you use this feature, we may collect information such as:
- name and contact details (email, and possibly phone if you provide it)
- general location (city/zip)
- a description of your project and preferences
- optional details you choose to include (timing, photos, budget range)
How sharing works: we would share the information you submit with one or more professionals so they can contact you about your request.
Compensation: EcoBoulevard may receive compensation for introductions or referrals.
Important note about “selling” or “sharing” data: some U.S. privacy laws define “sell” or “share” broadly (for example, sharing personal information for valuable consideration). If we launch this feature, we will update this policy and provide clear notice and choices at the point of submission, including any required opt-out options.
Until this feature is active, we do not share your contact details with home professionals.
6) How we share information
We may share information in limited situations:
Service providers
We use vendors to help run the Site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, spam prevention). They may process information only to provide services to us.
Affiliate networks and retailers
When you click affiliate links, those third parties may collect information to operate their services and attribute referrals. Their privacy policies apply.
Legal and safety
We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe it is necessary to protect rights, safety, and security, or to respond to lawful requests.
Business changes
If EcoBoulevard is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
7) “Do we sell personal information?”
EcoBoulevard does not sell personal information in the traditional sense (for example, a data broker selling lists).
However:
Affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals (see Section 2C).
If we launch “Find a professional,” we may share the information you submit with professionals to fulfill your request, and we may receive compensation for that referral (see Section 5). If that sharing is considered a “sale” or “share” under certain laws, we will provide appropriate disclosures and opt-out mechanisms.
8) Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:
- enable site functionality
- remember preferences
- measure traffic and performance
- attribute affiliate referrals
Your choices:
You can control cookies in your browser settings (block, delete, or limit cookies).
Blocking cookies may affect Site functionality.
9) Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how readers use the Site (for example, which pages perform well). These tools may collect usage data through cookies or similar technologies.
You can limit analytics tracking by adjusting cookie settings, using browser controls, or using privacy extensions.
10) Third-party links and embedded content
The Site may include links to third-party websites and embedded tools (videos, widgets, social posts). These third parties may collect information as if you visited their website directly. We do not control their data practices.
11) Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes:
Newsletter data: retained until you unsubscribe, or we delete inactive subscribers under our email practices.
Contact messages: retained to respond, support, and maintain records.
Analytics: often retained in aggregated or pseudonymous form, depending on the tool.
12) Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13) Children’s privacy
EcoBoulevard is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
14) Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which can include:
- requesting access to information we hold about you
- requesting correction or deletion
- opting out of certain processing (where applicable)
You can always:
- unsubscribe from emails using the link in any newsletter
- adjust cookie settings in your browser
To submit a privacy request, email info@ecoboulevard.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
Note: Some states (for example, California) have specific opt-out concepts for “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. If EcoBoulevard becomes subject to those requirements, we will add a clear mechanism.
15) International visitors
If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
16) Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent version. Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
