Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Remodiq collects when you visit remodiq.com, how we use it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over it. We wrote this to be readable β not to bury the important parts in legal language. If something is unclear, contact us.
The short version
- β We do not require an account or any personal information to use the calculator
- β Your renovation inputs are processed in your browser and not stored on our servers
- β We do not sell, share, or rent your data to advertisers or third parties
- β We do not embed ad trackers, retargeting pixels, or social media scripts
- β Server logs are deleted within 90 days
1. About Remodiq
Remodiq operates remodiq.com, a free home renovation cost calculator that helps US homeowners estimate project costs based on room type, square footage, quality level, and city. Our estimates are derived from aggregated contractor data, RSMeans construction costs, and city-level labor indices across 50+ US metros.
When we say βRemodiq,β βwe,β βour,β or βusβ in this policy, we mean the team operating remodiq.com. We are committed to handling any information we encounter responsibly and transparently. This policy applies to all visitors to our website, regardless of location.
2. What Information We Collect
Calculator inputs (not stored)
When you use the Remodiq calculator, you enter renovation details β room type, square footage, quality level, city, and work scopes. This input is used entirely within your browser session to generate your estimate. It is not transmitted to or stored on our servers in any identifiable form.
The only exception is the Share Estimate feature, which encodes your inputs into a URL query string (e.g., ?room=kitchen&area=200&quality=standard&loc=new-york). That URL exists only if you choose to copy and share it. We do not log or store these URLs on our end.
Server logs
Our web servers automatically record standard access logs when you visit any page. These logs contain:
- Your IP address (truncated where possible)
- The URL you requested
- The HTTP status code returned
- Your browser type and operating system (user-agent string)
- The referring URL if you arrived from another website
- Date and time of the request
These logs exist for operational purposes only β to detect errors, identify traffic anomalies, and diagnose performance issues. They are not analyzed for marketing purposes and are not shared with any third party. Logs are automatically purged after 90 days.
Cookies and local storage
Remodiq may store small amounts of data in your browser (via cookies or localStorage) to remember your last calculator state between sessions β for example, if you started entering inputs and then closed the tab. This data never leaves your browser and is not associated with any account or identifier on our side.
If we use a third-party analytics tool, it may set a cookie to count unique visits and measure which pages or features are used most. This data is aggregated and anonymized β we cannot see what any individual user did. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without losing access to the calculator.
Contact form and email
If you contact us via email (e.g., to report an inaccurate estimate or suggest a feature), we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without explicit consent.
3. How We Use Information
We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:
- Operating the website β serving pages, handling requests, and ensuring the calculator functions correctly
- Improving cost data β understanding which cities and room types generate the most interest, so we can prioritize adding data coverage
- Diagnosing errors β using server logs to identify and fix bugs or performance issues
- Responding to inquiries β replying to emails sent to our contact addresses
- Legal compliance β retaining data only as required by applicable law and deleting it when no longer needed
We do not use your information to build user profiles, serve behavioral advertising, conduct A/B tests that track individuals, or share data with data brokers or advertising networks.
4. Data Retention
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Calculator inputs | Not stored on servers (session only in browser) |
| Server access logs | 90 days, then automatically deleted |
| Analytics data | Aggregated, no individual retention |
| Email correspondence | Retained while relevant, deleted on request |
5. Third-Party Services
Remodiq uses a minimal number of third-party services. Where we do use them, we choose providers that take privacy seriously and we do not grant them access to individual user data.
- Hosting and infrastructure β Our website is hosted on a cloud provider that processes server requests to deliver pages to your browser. This provider may see your IP address as part of the standard request routing. We do not share any additional data with them beyond what is technically necessary to serve the site.
- Analytics (if enabled) β We may use a privacy-focused analytics tool to understand aggregate traffic patterns. No individual-level behavioral data is collected or shared. We prefer tools that do not set persistent cross-site tracking cookies.
We do not use: Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, Twitter Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag, TikTok Pixel, or any other retargeting or behavioral advertising technology.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. The only circumstances under which we would disclose information are:
- Legal obligation β If required by a valid court order, subpoena, or applicable law, we may disclose information. We will notify you to the extent permitted by law before complying.
- Protection of rights β If we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud, security threats, or violations of our Terms of Service.
- Business transfer β In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data would transfer to the successor entity, which would be bound by this same privacy policy or a comparable one.
7. Children's Privacy
Remodiq is designed for adult homeowners, real estate investors, and contractors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. Our calculator does not contain features designed to appeal to children, and we do not market to them.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us (for example, via an email inquiry), please contact us at privacy@remodiq.com and we will delete it within 7 business days.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights regarding any personal data we hold:
- Access β Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction β Ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Deletion β Request that we delete your data (where legally permitted)
- Objection β Object to certain processing activities
- Portability β Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
Because Remodiq collects very little personal data, most of these rights can be exercised simply by clearing your browser cookies and local storage. For server log data or email correspondence, submit a request to privacy@remodiq.com and we will respond within 30 days. US residents in states with specific privacy laws (California CCPA, Virginia VCDPA, etc.) may have additional rights β we honor all applicable state-level requests.
9. Security
Remodiq is served over HTTPS, encrypting all data in transit between your browser and our servers. We do not store payment information, passwords, or sensitive personal data. Because the calculator operates client-side, the primary risk to your data is your own device security, not ours.
No internet service can guarantee 100% security. If you discover a security vulnerability on our site, please report it responsibly to privacy@remodiq.com before disclosing it publicly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We will update this Privacy Policy if our practices change materially β for example, if we add a new feature that collects data, or if we start using a new third-party service. When we do, we update the βLast updatedβ date at the top of this page.
For significant changes, we will add a notice to the homepage for at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of Remodiq after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
