Basic web analytics
After you allow analytics, Google Analytics may receive page views, traffic sources, location data that can include precise location where Google Analytics settings allow it, device/browser information, and engagement events.
Privacy Control Console Launch phase policy, analytics consent, and correction intake boundaries
Consent required
Privacy
A small data footprint for a research-first launch.
Home Tech Compatibility is in its launch phase. The site does not currently provide user accounts, comments, checkout, or newsletter signup forms. The photo advisor beta only processes images when you choose to submit them.
Data map
What the site may receive, and why.
The policy is written around the product as it exists now: public research pages, analytics consent, hosting logs, and future correction requests.
Voluntary corrections
Future contact or correction forms may receive details you choose to submit for a source lead or compatibility correction.
Photo advisor beta
If you submit a product or package photo, the site may process it to identify visible labels, model text, and compatibility badges. Avoid uploading people, homes, receipts, serial numbers, or private information.
Operational logs
Hosting and security providers may create technical logs needed to operate, secure, and debug the site.
Use limits
Data use is tied to operation and research quality.
