Privacy policy

Last updated: June 12, 2026

The short version

Porch & Plan is a static publication. We don't have accounts, forms that store data, or trackers tied to your identity. The site uses privacy-respecting analytics and, once advertising is enabled, standard ad-network cookies that you can decline.

Information we collect

• Analytics: aggregate, cookie-light analytics (page views, country, referrer, device type) to understand which guides help people. This data is not tied to your identity.
• Contact email: if you email us, we keep the correspondence to respond to you.

Advertising and cookies

Porch & Plan is supported by display advertising. Third-party ad vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized ads; you can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. Visitors in the EEA/UK and certain US states are shown a consent banner and can decline non-essential cookies entirely.

Your rights

Depending on your location (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and similar laws), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. Because we hold almost no personal data, most requests are satisfied by clearing your browser cookies, but you can always email hello@porchandplan.com and we will help.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above.
