Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 2026

Let’s be honest — nobody enjoys reading privacy policies. But since a big part of what we cover at EcoAutoHome is protecting your home from hackable smart devices, your privacy on our own website matters just as much to us.

So we wrote this in plain English. No legal jargon, no hidden surprises. Just a straight answer to every question you might have about how we handle your data.

Who We Are

EcoAutoHome is a smart home education website operated by Md Sharif Mia. We publish independent smart home device reviews, energy-saving guides, and DIY home automation tutorials for everyday homeowners and renters worldwide.

What Information We Collect

We collect the absolute minimum data required to keep this website running properly. Here is exactly what that means — nothing more, nothing less.

Information You Give Us Directly If you contact us through our Contact page, we collect your name and email address solely to reply to your message. We will never add you to a marketing list, sell your email, or reach out for any reason other than answering your question.

Web Server Logs Our web server temporarily records standard technical data including IP addresses. This is used exclusively to prevent spam, block malicious bots, and monitor general traffic patterns. These logs are not stored permanently and are never used to identify individual visitors.

That’s it. We don’t run analytics software on our site. We don’t build profiles on our readers. We don’t track your browsing behaviour across other websites.

How We Fund EcoAutoHome

EcoAutoHome is a completely free resource. We don’t lock content behind paywalls and we don’t use affiliate marketing links. If we recommend a product, it’s purely because we’ve personally tested it and genuinely believe it’s worth your money — not because we earn a commission from the sale.

To cover server costs and fund our independent device testing, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. Here’s exactly how that works and how you can control it.

Google AdSense Google AdSense serves ads on our pages. To do this, Google may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing activity on this and other websites.

Importantly, Google manages all advertising consent and privacy disclosures directly. When required by law — for example, for visitors from the European Union or California — Google’s own Consent Management system will handle the appropriate consent notices automatically. You don’t need to do anything, and neither do we beyond displaying AdSense.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also review how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites by visiting Google’s Privacy & Terms page.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Here’s what’s actually happening on EcoAutoHome when it comes to cookies.

Advertising Cookies — Google AdSense Google AdSense may place advertising cookies on your device to serve relevant ads. Google manages these cookies and the associated consent process directly. You can control or opt out of personalised ads at any time through Google’s Ads Settings.

Functional Cookies — WordPress As a WordPress-powered website, our server may set basic functional cookies to keep the site running correctly. These include things like remembering if you’ve filled out a comment form. These cookies contain no personal information and are not used for tracking or advertising purposes.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling all cookies may affect how certain website features work.

Your Privacy Rights — GDPR & CCPA

Regardless of where you’re visiting from, we respect your right to control your personal data. If you’re located in the European Union (GDPR) or California, USA (CCPA), you have the following specific rights:

The right to access — You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
The right to correction — You can ask us to correct any inaccurate information
The right to deletion — You can request that we permanently delete your data
The right to object — You can object to how we process your data at any time
The right to data portability — You can request your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at hello@ecoautohome.com with the subject line “Privacy Request” and we’ll respond within 30 days.

We Never Sell Your Data

This one is simple and absolute. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with any third party for commercial purposes. Ever.

Our entire business model is built on writing honest, independent reviews and displaying ads next to them. We are not data brokers and we have zero interest in monetising your personal information.

External Links

Our articles regularly link to manufacturer websites, app download pages, and authoritative sources like the U.S. Department of Energy. Once you click an external link and leave EcoAutoHome, this privacy policy no longer applies. We’re not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites, so we recommend reading their policies before sharing any personal information with them.

Children’s Privacy

EcoAutoHome is not directed at children under the age of 13. We don’t knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us at hello@ecoautohome.com and we’ll delete it immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We’ll update this Privacy Policy whenever our data practices change — for example, if we add new advertising partners or site features. The Last Updated date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. We encourage you to check back periodically.
