Home Build Unpacked is operated by David D. Cote. This notice explains how information is handled when you visit this website or contact us. Privacy questions can be sent to david@daviddcote.com.
When you contact us
The contact form collects your name, email address, and message. We use these details to respond to your inquiry, consider suggested topics, and address website problems. Submitting a message does not subscribe you to a mailing list.
Messages are stored in the website’s form-response system and sent to our business email, which uses Microsoft 365. WordPress.com, Jetpack, and anti-spam services may process the submission and technical details, such as your IP address and browser information, to operate the form and check for spam.
Please do not submit home addresses, contracts, account numbers, financial details, or other sensitive project information.
Website services and cookies
This website is hosted on WordPress.com and uses Jetpack features. These services may collect technical and usage information, including IP addresses, browser details, pages visited, referring pages, and approximate location, for website operation, security, and statistics. Cookies and similar technologies may be used. WordPress.com may display advertising while the site uses its free plan.
Read Automattic’s notice for website visitors and its Cookie Policy for details and available choices. You can also manage cookies in your browser; blocking some cookies may affect website features.
Comments and subscriptions
If you use WordPress.com features to comment, follow, or subscribe, the information you provide is processed through those services. Comments you publish may be visible to other visitors. Use the unsubscribe link in subscription emails to stop receiving them.
Links to other websites
Video links open YouTube, and book-purchase links open Amazon. Those sites handle your activity and any purchase or account information under their own privacy policies. HBU does not collect payment-card details through these outbound links.
Keeping information and making requests
Contact messages may remain in our website records and business mailbox for correspondence and follow-up. To request access, correction, or deletion of information you submitted, email david@daviddcote.com. We may need to verify your identity. Some records may need to be retained for legal, security, or administrative reasons, and service providers apply their own retention practices.
Updates
We will update this notice when the website’s services or information practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision.
