Privacy notice

Who operates this site

The Utility Bill at 101EnergySavingTips.com is published by Synkompass Media LLC. This notice covers this publication. CES and GER are related sites with their own notices and services.

Reading the publication

You can read articles without creating a publication account. The current publication does not offer comments, newsletter signup, payment collection or a lead-submission form. We do not use advertising pixels. Optional audience measurement is described below.

Hosting, security and cookies

Our hosting infrastructure is provided through OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare. Delivering and protecting pages involves technical information such as IP address, requested page, time, browser and device information. Cloudflare may set security cookies, including __cf_bm. Access-controlled previews also use the hosting provider’s sign-in process. These infrastructure services are separate from optional audience measurement. We do not describe this site as cookie-free.

Optional analytics

Google Analytics loads only after you choose Allow analytics. It measures page visits, article reading depth, calculator opens/readiness/loading failures, script-error categories and clicks to CES or GER. It does not receive household entries, calculator results, email contents or error-message text. Page URLs are sent without arbitrary query strings or fragments; recognized campaign labels and referring-site origins may be used to understand traffic sources.

Google receives technical connection and device information and uses analytics cookies to distinguish visits. Our analytics cookies expire after 60 days; this property's user/event retention is two months. We disable advertising personalization and Google signals in our tag. We do not combine your identity across our sites. Shared, non-personal campaign labels on CES and GER links identify the referring publication and article; they do not identify you or transfer calculator values.

Choose No thanks to keep Google Analytics off. Use Analytics settings at the bottom of any page to change your choice. Declining after acceptance disables collection, removes this integration's analytics cookies and reloads the page. We also keep analytics off when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. Your choice is stored on this device. Declining does not delete data already processed by Google. See Google's privacy policy.

When you open a calculator

An embedded CES calculator loads only when you select its button. This connects your browser to the CES calculator host, which receives ordinary connection information and may set infrastructure security cookies. The current heat-pump and insulation calculators perform calculations in your browser. Their integration does not send your entries or calculated results to this publication or GER. Messages between the calculator and article report readiness and display size, not household inputs. Opening the full CES tool starts a separate comparison; entries are not transferred.

Email and other sites

If you email info@synkompass.com, we receive your address, message and anything you attach, and use them to respond and handle the issue. Our email provider processes those communications. Please do not send utility account numbers, passwords, payment details or other sensitive documents. Following a CES, GER or other external link takes you to a service governed by its own privacy practices; submitting information there is a separate action.

Use, sharing and retention

Information needed to operate the site or respond to requests may be processed by hosting, security and email providers. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or needed to address misuse and protect rights. We do not operate a sale of reader data or behavioral advertising program on this publication. Correspondence is retained according to the purpose of the request, ongoing follow-up and applicable recordkeeping needs; infrastructure records follow provider retention settings. We do not promise immediate or universal deletion of provider records.

Your choices and requests

You can read without loading a calculator, follow the full-tool link instead, and manage cookies in your browser; blocking cookies may affect protected access. Contact info@synkompass.com with privacy questions or requests to access, correct or delete information you have provided. We may need to verify the request and may retain information where legally required. Available privacy rights depend on applicable law. There is currently no publication advertising-consent preference to toggle because we have not enabled that advertising program.

Changes

We will update this notice when our practices change, including before introducing materially different analytics, forms or advertising. Any required choices or consent will be addressed with that change. The revision date below identifies this version.
