Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Spotless Hacks ("we", "us", "our"), available at https://spotlesshacks.com, collects, uses and shares information about you when you visit the site, subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us: your email address when you subscribe to the newsletter, and your name, email and message when you contact us.
  • Information collected automatically: like most websites, we and our partners collect device and usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring site, and approximate location, using cookies, web beacons and similar technologies.

How we use information

  • To run, maintain and improve the site and understand which content is useful.
  • To send the newsletter you asked for. We store your email address only for this purpose. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time by writing to [email protected].
  • To answer your messages.
  • To show advertising that keeps the site free.

Cookies and advertising

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the site. These may include Google AdSense and, in the future, ad management partners such as Mediavine or Raptive. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites.
  • You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may not work without them.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure visits: which pages are read, how people arrive, and whether tools like the stain finder or the newsletter form are used. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects data such as your approximate location, device and browser. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It does not use cookies or local storage and does not track you across websites; it records basic page-view data such as the page, referring site, browser and country. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Affiliate links

Some pages may contain affiliate links, including links to Amazon. If you click them, the retailer may set a cookie to attribute a purchase to us. See our affiliate disclosure.

Sharing

We do not sell your email address. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, advertising), when required by law, or to protect our rights.

Your rights

  • California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you may request to know, delete or correct personal information we hold, and you may opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
  • Other US states: residents of states with privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Texas) have similar rights.
  • Australia: we handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988. You can request access to or correction of your information, or make a complaint, by contacting us.
  • EU/UK visitors: you have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction and objection under the GDPR/UK GDPR. Where required, we ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies.

To make a request, email [email protected].

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Data retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above and use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
