Privacy

This page explains, in plain language, what information The Country House Scientist ("we") collects through countryhousescientist.com and what we do with it. The short version: we collect as little as we can, and we never sell it.

Email sign-up

When you sign up for a free guide, you give us your email address. Our email service, Kit, stores it and sends our emails. We use it to send you the guides you asked for and occasional emails about older houses, moisture and the Playbook.

Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe at any time. If you want your address deleted, email hello@countryhousescientist.com.

Purchases

Checkout is handled by our payment provider, Lemon Squeezy. They collect and process your payment and billing details under their own privacy policy; we never see or store your full card number. We receive the order details we need to deliver your download and help with support, such as your name, email address and what you bought.

We don't sell your data

We don't sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with the services that run the site, the email list and checkout, and only so they can do that job.

Cookies and analytics

• This site doesn't use analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, and it doesn't set its own cookies.
• Your browser's session storage is used only to remember your scroll position while you're on the page. It isn't sent to us.
• The page loads its fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google's servers, which can see your IP address.
• The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard request data, such as IP addresses, to deliver and protect the site.
• The sign-up form sends your email to Kit, and the checkout runs on Lemon Squeezy's own pages. Those services may use their own cookies under their own policies.

Children

This site is meant for adults making decisions about a home. It isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its effective date. Questions: hello@countryhousescientist.com.
