Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 23, 2026

HVACing (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website hvacing.com (the “Site”). We provide homeowner-focused HVAC education and informational content. We are not an HVAC contractor and do not sell installation or repair services through this Site.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It is written for a general U.S. audience. It is not legal advice.

If you have questions, contact us at hello@hvacing.com.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us

Email inquiries. If you email us, we collect the details you include (for example, your name, email address, and message). We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
Newsletter / email signup. If you subscribe to our email list, we collect your email address and any other information you choose to provide (such as a first name). We use Kit as our email service provider to deliver the requested guide, newsletters, and related updates. Kit processes your information on our behalf according to its privacy practices and our instructions.
Other voluntary submissions. You may share information if you email us, reply to a newsletter, or participate in a survey or feedback request we offer.

We do not require an account to browse the Site.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information may be collected automatically, including:

IP address and approximate location derived from it
Browser type, device type, and operating system
Pages viewed, time spent, referring URL, and similar usage data
Cookie and similar technology identifiers (see Cookies and Analytics below)

We may add analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics or a comparable service) to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve content. When those tools are active, they may set cookies or collect usage data as described by their own policies.

Information from affiliate partners

If you click an affiliate link on the Site (for example, Amazon Associates or retail partners such as Home Depot or Best Buy), the partner may collect data about that click under its own privacy policy. We do not control those third-party sites. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more about how affiliate links work on HVACing.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our educational content
Respond to email messages and other inquiries
Send newsletters and email updates you requested (and related administrative messages)
Measure traffic and engagement so we can improve articles, tools, and site performance
Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, abuse, or security concerns
Comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Use

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Email and Newsletter

If you join our mailing list:

You will receive educational content, site updates, and related messages you opted into.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in each email, or by contacting us at hello@hvacing.com.
Unsubscribing stops marketing/newsletter messages; we may still keep a minimal record needed to honor your preference or for legal/operational reasons.

Email delivery is handled by Kit. Kit’s processing of subscriber data is governed by its privacy policy and our instructions.

4. Cookies and Analytics

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies for:

Essential site functions (for example, remembering preferences or security)
Analytics and performance measurement (once analytics tools are added)
Affiliate tracking, when you click partner links (handled by those partners)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work. When we add analytics or other tracking tools, we will update this policy if needed to describe them more specifically.

5. Affiliate Links

HVACing may earn a commission if you purchase products through affiliate links on the Site. Affiliate partners may set cookies or record that you came from our Site. That activity is subject to the partner’s privacy policy. Our recommendations are meant to be useful and honest for homeowners; affiliate relationships may influence which products appear or how they are ranked. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

6. Email Contact

Messages sent to hello@hvacing.com are used to reply to you about content corrections, partnerships, press, or other Site-related topics. We are a content and education site, not a service contractor. We do not dispatch technicians or take service calls by email. Do not send payment information, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive data by email.

7. How We Share Information

We may share information with:

Service providers who help us run the Site (hosting, email delivery, analytics, security), under agreements that limit use to providing those services
Affiliate and advertising partners, when you interact with their links or tools, as described above
Legal and safety recipients, if required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property
Business transfers, if HVACing is involved in a merger, acquisition, or similar transaction (your information may be transferred as part of that process)

We do not sell personal information to data brokers.

8. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. For example:

Email messages are kept long enough to respond and follow up as needed.
Newsletter subscribers remain on the list until they unsubscribe or the list is otherwise cleaned.
Analytics and server logs are retained according to our tools’ settings and operational needs.

9. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information we collect. No website or internet transmission is completely secure. Please use care when sharing information online.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general adult audience of homeowners and similar readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, contact us at hello@hvacing.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live (for example, under certain U.S. state privacy laws), you may have rights to:

Access the personal information we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your personal information
Opt out of certain types of data sharing or “sale”/“sharing” as defined by applicable law (we do not sell personal information in the everyday sense)
Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time

To exercise a request, email hello@hvacing.com with enough detail for us to verify and process your request. We may need to confirm your identity before responding. Some rights may not apply in every situation.

You can also:

Unsubscribe from emails using the link in each message
Adjust cookie settings in your browser
Stop using the Site at any time

12. Third-Party Websites

The Site may link to third-party websites, tools, and retailers. Their privacy practices are their own. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of those sites. Review their policies before providing personal information.

13. International Visitors

The Site is operated with a U.S. focus. If you access it from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy. For material changes, we may provide additional notice (for example, a site notice or email to subscribers).
