Last reviewed on 2026-04-24.

Who We Are

HouseholdRobot.net ("we," "us," "our") publishes reference material on household automation robots — robot vacuums, robotic lawn mowers, pool cleaners, window cleaners, robot mops, and companion robots. This privacy policy covers the householdrobot.net website.

Information We Collect

1. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the site, the following is collected by our servers, analytics provider, and advertising partners:

• Request metadata: IP address, user agent string, referring URL, requested URL, and timestamp.
• Device signals: approximate location (derived from IP), device type, screen size, browser language.
• Behavioral signals: pages viewed, time on page, navigation path, and outbound link clicks.
• Cookies and similar identifiers: see the Cookies page for full detail.

2. Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Email: if you contact us at contact@householdrobot.net, we receive your email address and the content of your message.

We do not collect names, phone numbers, physical addresses, payment information, or account credentials. We do not operate a user-account system and do not sell anything directly.

How We Use Information

• To operate the site: serve pages, detect broken links and slow pages, prevent abusive traffic.
• To measure traffic: understand which pages are useful and where visitors arrive from.
• To display advertising: show ads provided by Google AdSense and its ad-tech partners, including ads relevant to your interests where permitted.
• To answer email: respond to specification corrections, feature requests, and other inbound messages.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

HouseholdRobot.net uses cookies and similar storage (such as local storage and pixel tags) for three purposes: site analytics, advertising, and (rarely) preference storage. A full cookie list and opt-out guidance is on the Cookies page. The short version:

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID G-9NJFPCXK31) to understand aggregate site usage. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) that typically persist for up to 2 years. IP addresses are processed in a truncated form wherever the provider supports it.

Advertising Cookies — Google AdSense

Where enabled, Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.
• You can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info or, within the EU, at YourOnlineChoices.eu.
• Google's advertising practices are described in the Google advertising policy.

Third-Party Services

The following third parties may receive data about your visit:

• Google Analytics — aggregate traffic measurement.
• Google AdSense and Google-authorized ad partners — serving and measurement of advertising.
• Amazon Associates — when you click an outbound Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may set its own cookies on amazon.com to attribute any resulting purchase. We receive only aggregate commission reports, not your purchase details or account.
• Our hosting and CDN providers — process request metadata (including IP) to deliver the site.

These providers are governed by their own privacy policies and may share data with their own sub-processors as described in those policies.

Advertising Disclosure

HouseholdRobot.net displays advertisements and participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Ads are served by Google AdSense and may include both personalized and non-personalized advertising depending on your consent status and region. When you click an Amazon affiliate link and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Neither advertising commissions nor affiliate revenue influence the specifications or rankings published on this site.

Data Retention

• Server/access logs: up to 90 days.
• Analytics data: retained according to the analytics provider's policy (typically up to 26 months for user-level data, longer for aggregate statistics).
• Advertising data: retained by Google and its partners per their own retention policies.
• Email correspondence: retained up to 2 years for support records, then deleted on request or at the end of the retention period.

Your Rights

European Economic Area / United Kingdom (GDPR and UK GDPR)

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, and port personal data we hold about you, and to withdraw any consent you have previously given. Our legal bases for processing are: legitimate interest (running and securing the site, traffic analytics), consent (personalized advertising cookies where required), and contract or legal obligation (responding to lawful requests).

California (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (including interest-based advertising, which may be considered "sharing" under CPRA), and to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell personal information for money. To opt out of interest-based advertising, use the opt-out links listed under "Advertising Cookies — Google AdSense" above.

All Users

You can:

• Disable or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Use browser-level tracking protection or a reputable privacy extension.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Email contact@householdrobot.net with "Privacy Request" in the subject line, and indicate what you'd like us to do (access, delete, correct, opt out). We aim to respond within 30 days. We may ask for a minimum of verifying information to confirm the request relates to your data.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for adult consumers researching household robots. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

International Data Transfers

Our providers operate globally and may process data in jurisdictions different from yours, including the United States. Where required, providers rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. We collect only what is needed to operate the site and respond to contact. No system, however, is fully secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of data in transit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect new features, new vendors, or legal requirements. The "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. For material changes, we will post a notice on the homepage for at least 30 days.
