Privacy Policy
How RoofPitch.net collects, uses, and protects information about visitors to our site.
Introduction
RoofPitch.net (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates as a free informational website offering roofing calculators, guides, and contractor directory pages. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we handle information related to your visit.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use RoofPitch.net, how we use it, who we share it with, and what choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
If you have questions about anything in this policy, you can reach us at contact@roofpitch.net.
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically when you use the Site.
Information you provide directly
RoofPitch.net does not require you to create an account or register to use any of its calculators or read its content. If you contact us by email, we collect the information you include in that message, such as your name and email address.
Information collected automatically
When you visit RoofPitch.net, certain information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools. This includes:
- Your IP address and general geographic location (city or region level, not precise location)
- Browser type, version, and operating system
- The pages you visit on the Site and how long you spend on each page
- The website or link that referred you to RoofPitch.net
- Device type (desktop, tablet, or mobile)
- Date and time of your visit
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve its content, calculators, and user experience
- To identify which pages, guides, and calculators are most useful to visitors
- To detect and fix technical issues, errors, or broken functionality
- To respond to questions or messages you send us by email
- To monitor for abuse, spam, or unauthorized scraping of the Site
- To comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use your information to send you marketing emails, newsletters, or promotional content unless you have explicitly signed up for such communications.
Third-Party Services and Links
RoofPitch.net may use third-party services that collect information about Site visitors. These include analytics providers, advertising networks, and content delivery services. Each of these third parties operates under its own privacy policy, which governs how they handle data.
The Site also contains links to external websites, including roofing contractor websites and industry reference sources. When you click a link and leave RoofPitch.net, you move to a site we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external site before sharing personal information with it.
Contractor listings on RoofPitch.net link to third-party contractor websites. Clicking those links may allow the contractor’s site to collect information about your visit according to their own privacy practices.
Advertising
RoofPitch.net may display advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, which may include Google AdSense or similar platforms. These networks use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this Site and other sites on the internet.
We do not sell your personal information to advertisers. Advertisers receive aggregated, anonymized data about traffic and ad performance, not personally identifiable information about individual visitors.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from other networks through the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative.
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — we share data with third-party analytics and hosting providers who help us operate the Site. These providers are contractually required to handle data securely and only for the purposes we specify.
- Legal requirements — we may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of RoofPitch.net, its visitors, or the public.
- Business transfers — if RoofPitch.net is acquired, merged, or transferred to another entity, visitor information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change by updating this Privacy Policy.
Data Retention
We retain automatically collected analytics data for as long as necessary to understand Site performance and improve content. Google Analytics data is typically retained for 26 months by default, after which it is deleted automatically.
If you contact us by email, we retain your message and contact details for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward in case of follow-up questions.
We do not retain calculator inputs since they are never transmitted to our servers.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include:
- The right to know what personal information we hold about you
- The right to request deletion of your personal information
- The right to opt out of certain data collection practices, such as analytics tracking or interest-based advertising
- The right to correct inaccurate information we hold about you
Because RoofPitch.net collects very limited personal information and does not require account registration, most requests to access or delete data can be addressed by clearing your browser cookies and opting out of analytics tracking as described in Section 04.
To submit a privacy request or ask questions about your data, contact us at contact@roofpitch.net. We will respond within 30 days.
Children’s Privacy
RoofPitch.net is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at contact@roofpitch.net and we will delete that information promptly.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The Site uses HTTPS encryption to protect data in transit between your browser and our servers.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100 percent secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by the Site.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the services we use, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of RoofPitch.net after any changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
