Privacy policy
Last updated November 12, 2026.
Who is responsible
The controller for personal data on DIY Outdoor Builds is Oskar N., Norway. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect and why
- Account data: e-mail address, name, username and a password (stored only as a secure hash by our login provider). Used to run your account (contract).
- Profile and content: what you choose to publish, such as your bio, location, website, projects, photos, files, comments, ratings and saved projects. Projects, comments and profiles are public; saved projects are private.
- Photos: your browser resizes photos before upload, and we remove camera and location data (EXIF/GPS) from them.
- Security: your IP address is processed by our hosting and login providers (see below) to deliver the site, limit login attempts and stop abuse. We do not store it in our own database.
- Statistics: we count page views, project views, downloads and referring websites as anonymous daily totals, without cookies and without storing IP addresses or visitor identifiers (legitimate interest in running and improving the site).
- Reports and copyright notices: the information you send, to handle the case.
Cookies
We set no cookies of our own. When you log in, your login is kept in your browser's storage, which is needed for the site to work. See the cookie page.
Advertising
DIY Outdoor Builds does not show advertising at the moment. If we add advertising through Google AdSense, this policy will be updated first and consent will be asked where the law requires it.
Who else processes data
- Cloudflare, which hosts and delivers the website.
- Lovable (Lovable Cloud, built on Supabase), which stores accounts, projects, photos and files and sends our account e-mails (confirmation, password reset).
Some of these providers may process data outside your country; where this happens outside the EEA, it is covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.
How long we keep data
Account data and content are kept until you delete them or your account. Deleting your account removes your profile, projects, photos, files, comments, ratings and saved projects immediately; backups are overwritten within 30 days. Anonymous statistics are kept indefinitely. Reports are kept for up to 3 years for legal reasons.
Your rights
You can access and download your data (download my data), correct it in Settings, and delete your account at any time. You also have the right to object to processing, to restrict it and to data portability. To use these rights, or if you have questions, contact [email protected]. You may complain to the data protection authority where you live.
Children
DIY Outdoor Builds is not intended for children under 16, and they may not create an account.
