Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 1, 2026
PatioHaven (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is written for a general US audience. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect two kinds of information.
- Information you provide. When you email us or use a contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you send. We use it only to respond and to improve our coverage.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, and the pages you view. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, and measure traffic. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as intended if you disable them.
Analytics
We use analytics tools to understand which guides readers find useful and where the site is hard to navigate. These tools report aggregated, de-identified statistics such as page views, session length, and general location by region. We do not use analytics to build a personal profile of you.
Advertising
PatioHaven may display advertising and may work with third-party ad networks. Those networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads and measure their performance, and they may collect information about your visits to this and other sites to show ads they believe are relevant. We do not control the data practices of these third parties; their own privacy policies apply to the information they collect.
How We Use and Share Information
We use the information we collect to operate the site, respond to messages, monitor performance, prevent abuse, and improve our content. We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting and analytics providers, and we may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as it serves the purpose for which it was collected, or as long as the law requires. Contact messages are retained while we handle the request and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping. Aggregated analytics data may be kept indefinitely because it does not identify you.
Your Choices
You can control cookies through your browser, including blocking or deleting them. You can also email us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have sent us. We will respond within a reasonable time, subject to legal obligations.
Children’s Privacy
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
