Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy and data protection practices for Clean Power Guide. Explaining zero-tracking baseline operations and future advertising disclosures.

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

At Clean Power Guide (accessible from https://cleanpowerguide.com), the privacy of our readers is a paramount technical priority. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Clean Power Guide and how we use it.

1. Baseline Zero-Tracking Operation

In its default production configuration, Clean Power Guide operates as a 100% static publishing website.

  • We do not require user registration, logins, or user accounts.
  • We do not run invasive third-party cross-site behavioral tracking scripts.
  • We do not collect or store your inputs to our interactive engineering calculators. All calculations execute entirely inside your local device's browser memory.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to data brokers.

2. Server Log Files

Like all web properties served via global content delivery networks (Cloudflare Pages), standard HTTP request logs are generated automatically when you access our site. These server logs may include:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (anonymized at the edge)
  • Browser type and version
  • Referring / exit pages and timestamp
  • Requested resource URI and HTTP response status code

These logs are utilized strictly for network security monitoring, DDoS mitigation, debugging broken links, and optimizing server caching performance. They are not linked to personally identifiable information.

3. Advertising and Third-Party Cookie Disclosures (AdSense Readiness)

Clean Power Guide may display advertising served by Google AdSense and its certified advertising partners to fund ongoing publishing and research operations.

  • Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to Clean Power Guide and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • Opting Out: Readers may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out portal.
  • EEA / UK Consent: In applicable jurisdictions (such as the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland), third-party advertising cookies are governed by an interactive Consent Management Platform (CMP) complying with the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework.

4. Affiliate Links & Commercial Relationships

Certain articles may contain affiliate links to hardware tools, electronic components, or solar equipment. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small referral commission at no additional cost to you. See our complete Affiliate Disclosure for full details.

5. Rights Under GDPR & CCPA

Under applicable data privacy regulations (including the EU General Data Protection Regulation and California Consumer Privacy Act), you retain the right to:

  • Request disclosure of what categories of personal data are collected.
  • Request deletion of any personal correspondence sent to our email addresses.
  • Opt out of any potential sale or sharing of personal information.
