This Privacy Policy explains what information Income by Building ("we", "us", "the site") collects when you visit incomebybuilding.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. This page is maintained by Michael, the site owner, and is written in plain English.

Comments. If you post a comment on an article, we collect the name, email address, and comment body you submit. Your email is not displayed publicly.
Contact form. When you use the contact form, we collect the name, email, and message you send.
Analytics data. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser type, referring source). See our Cookie Policy for details.

Third-party services

We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run the site:

Google Analytics — website traffic measurement.
Backend infrastructure — database, authentication, and hosting for the site and its content.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy terms.

We keep newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe. Comments remain published unless you ask us to remove them. Contact-form messages are kept as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics defaults.
