Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Paintaire ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Newsletter subscriptions: when you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address so we can send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
- Contact form: when you contact us, we collect your name, email address, subject, and message so we can respond to your inquiry.
- Quote and walkthrough requests: when you use /find-a-painter or /for-painters, we collect what you enter — such as your name, email address, phone number, ZIP/postcode, and project or company details — so we can connect you with a contractor or arrange a walkthrough. Homeowner requests are shared with one vetted painting contractor so they can quote the job.
Information collected automatically
- Theme preference: we store your light/dark mode preference in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device.
- Cookies: we may use essential cookies required for the site to function. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
How We Use Your Information
- To send newsletter emails you have opted into
- To respond to messages sent through our contact form
- To remember your display preferences (such as dark mode)
- To maintain and improve the site
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, which may process data according to their own privacy policies:
- Giscus / GitHub: blog comments are powered by Giscus, which uses GitHub Discussions. Commenting requires a GitHub account, and your comment data is processed by GitHub.
- YouTube: some posts embed YouTube videos. Loading an embedded video may allow Google to collect data about your visit as described in Google's privacy policy.
- Sentry: we use Sentry for error and performance monitoring on this site, in production only. When an error occurs, Sentry may process technical data such as your IP address, browser user-agent, and the page URL. Session replay is disabled.
Data Retention
We retain newsletter subscriber information until you unsubscribe, and contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Withdraw consent (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter) at any time
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
