Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how diy-wind-turbine-sizer.hub2.day (“the site”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you visit or use the Backyard Wind Turbine Sizer. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps off-grid hobbyists, rural homeowners, and preppers estimate how much electricity a small backyard wind turbine could generate at their location.

Information You Provide in the Browser

The turbine sizing tool runs primarily in your browser. Inputs such as rotor diameter, average wind speed, and tower height are used locally to calculate estimated generation. These inputs are not sent to our servers or stored by us unless you explicitly choose to share them (for example, by contacting us with a question about your results).

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@diy-wind-turbine-sizer.hub2.day, we will use your message and email address only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact details to marketing lists and do not sell or rent them.

Server and Security Logs

Our hosting provider may automatically collect limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps in server or security logs. This data is used for security, abuse prevention, and basic availability monitoring. Logs are retained only as long as reasonably necessary and are not used to build individual profiles.

Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use browser cookies or local storage to remember your preferences (for example, units or display options) and to support basic functionality. These are not used for cross-site tracking. You can clear or block them through your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected.

Advertising and Google AdSense

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or YourAdChoices.

GDPR / EEA / UK Consent

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on your consent before setting non-essential cookies or similar technologies used for advertising or analytics. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using any consent controls provided on the site.

Under the GDPR and UK data protection law, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, as well as rights to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@diy-wind-turbine-sizer.hub2.day.

CCPA / CPRA Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to request information about the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which it is used, as well as the right to request deletion and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. To submit a request, contact us at hello@diy-wind-turbine-sizer.hub2.day.

Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers for hosting, security, and advertising. These providers may process limited technical data (such as IP addresses and access logs) on our behalf, subject to contractual restrictions that require them to use data only for the purposes we specify.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this notice, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Server and security logs are typically retained for a short period and then deleted or anonymized.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

International Processing

Information collected through the site may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the site, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your own.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised when changes are made. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the updated notice.
