Privacy

This page says what this website collects, what the booking calendar on it collects, and how to opt out. It is a plain statement of fact, not a legal undertaking.

What this website collects

There is no form of our own, no newsletter signup, no account and no advertising on this site. The site is a set of static pages.

The site uses Google Analytics to understand how people use it: which pages are visited, how visitors arrived (for example from a Google search, an AI assistant or another website), roughly where in the world they are, what kind of device and browser they use, and a few actions on the page. The actions it records are:

• clicking a Book a call or contact page link, where on the page that link sat, and the page it was on;
• clicking an email address, with the page it was on and the first page of that visit;
• the booking calendar coming into view;
• a call being booked through the calendar, together with the first page of that visit, so we can tell which page led to the booking.

Google Analytics may also record some actions on its own, such as scrolling to the end of a page, clicking a link that leaves the site, or downloading a file.

It does not record your name, your email address or anything you type into the booking calendar.

To do this, Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser (their names start with _ga), and the site keeps two small notes in your browser’s session storage, the address of the first page of your visit and whether the booking calendar has been seen, both cleared when you close the tab. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy and explains how it uses data from sites like this one at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

The site’s fonts are loaded from Fontshare, so Fontshare can see that your browser requested them.

Our hosting provider records ordinary web server information when a page is served, such as the address of the request and the type of browser that made it. That is how any website is delivered.

How to opt out

• Install Google’s opt-out browser add-on, which stops Google Analytics on every site that uses it.
• Or use a content blocker that blocks requests to google-analytics.com and googletagmanager.com.

Blocking cookies for thebuildhaus.com, or browsing in private mode, does not stop Google Analytics, but it stops the site recognising you from one visit to the next.

The site works the same whichever you choose.

What the booking calendar collects

The contact page uses Cal.com to show available times and to take bookings. The calendar is loaded from Cal.com, so Cal.com can see that your browser requested it, and it may set cookies of its own.

If you book a call, you give Cal.com the details its form asks for, which include your name, your email address and anything you type into its fields. Cal.com passes that booking to us so that we can hold the call. Cal.com handles that information under its own privacy policy and terms.

If you would rather not use the calendar, write to torsten@thebuildhaus.com instead.

Email

If you email us, we hold your message in our email account so that we can reply and keep a record of what was agreed.

Asking us about your information

To ask what we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted, write to torsten@thebuildhaus.com.

Changes

If what the site collects changes, this page is updated and the date above changes with it.
