Last Updated: September 21, 2026

Chimney Insight respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains, in general terms, the information that may be collected when you use ChimneyInsight.com, how it may be used, and the choices that may be available to you.

Information You Provide

We may receive information you choose to provide when you contact us, submit a form, subscribe to communications, send feedback, or propose content. This may include your name, email address, message, and other information you include.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the site, our website and service providers may automatically receive information such as IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, website interactions, and cookie or similar identifiers.

How We Use Information

  • Operate, secure, and maintain the website.
  • Respond to messages and requests.
  • Measure site performance and understand which content is useful.
  • Improve articles, calculators, tools, and user experience.
  • Measure affiliate-link and advertising performance where applicable.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Chimney Insight may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions, analytics, preferences, advertising, measurement, and affiliate attribution. See our Cookies Policy for more information.

Google Services

The site uses Google measurement technologies, including Google Analytics through services such as Site Kit and MonsterInsights. Where advertising is enabled, Google advertising services may also be used. Google may process device, browser, IP, cookie, and interaction data according to its own terms and privacy practices.

Amazon Associates and Affiliate Links

Chimney Insight participates in the Amazon Associates Program and may use other affiliate relationships. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may process information needed to attribute a qualifying purchase or measure the referral. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Other Service Providers

We may use service providers for hosting, security, spam protection, analytics, advertising, email delivery, forms, content delivery, and performance optimization. Those providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and may have their own privacy notices.

How Information May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information for money. We may share information with service providers, analytics or advertising partners, affiliate partners, or legal authorities when reasonably necessary to operate the site, protect users or the website, or comply with applicable law. Certain advertising or tracking activities may be treated as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under some privacy laws.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including operational, security, legal, and recordkeeping needs. Retention periods may vary by service provider and type of information.

International Processing

Some service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, the relevant provider or controller may rely on available legal mechanisms.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, consent withdrawal, objection or restriction, targeted advertising, sale or sharing, and marketing communications.
