What this page is for
This center keeps the public legal pages together so visitors can understand the rules before they use calculators, submit a quote request, or claim a builder profile.
- Privacy explains what data is collected and why.
- Cookie policy explains essential storage, optional analytics, and preference controls.
- Terms explain estimate limits, vendor matching limits, acceptable use, and disclaimers.
- Editorial standards explain source use, correction handling, and content limits.
Consent boundaries
Different actions need different consent. Accepting optional analytics does not authorize vendor sharing, phone contact, SMS, paid lead routing, or publication of vendor claims.
- Quote and vendor forms must keep their own consent checkbox and timestamp.
- Advertising pixels, remarketing, or broad third-party analytics require policy review before launch.
- Private lead, vendor, admin, token, and raw log data must stay out of public pages, sitemaps, and agent-readable summaries.
Review triggers
The policy set should be reviewed before the business model gets more complex or the site starts handling more sensitive workflows.
- Review before paid lead sales, automated vendor routing, phone/SMS outreach, financing referrals, payment flow, ad pixels, or cross-site tracking.
- Review when adding a new database, CRM, email provider, analytics provider, affiliate network, or marketplace integration.
- Review after a domain, brand, ownership, or ownership-transfer change.
Germany operating note
