Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 17, 2026

Privacy Policy

At Howdy, accessible from www.howdy.com, one of our priorities is protecting visitor privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information Howdy collects and records and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information they share and/or collect on Howdy. This policy does not apply to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.

Consent

Where required by applicable law, we request consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. You can manage or withdraw your cookie choices at any time through Cookie Preferences.

Information We Collect

The personal information you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask for it.

If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you, such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send, and any other information you may choose to provide.

When you register for an account, we may ask for contact information, including your name, company name, address, email address, and telephone number.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our website
  • Improve, personalize, and expand our website
  • Understand and analyze how you use our website
  • Develop new products, services, features, and functionality
  • Communicate with you directly or through our partners for customer service, updates, and marketing purposes
  • Send you emails
  • Detect and prevent fraud

Log Files

Howdy follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this as part of hosting services' analytics.

The information collected by log files includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamps, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This information is not linked to any personally identifiable data and is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather demographic information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Howdy uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember visitor preferences, measure site performance, and, where allowed by your choices, personalize or measure marketing. Strictly necessary cookies support core site functions. Howdy may also use cookieless operational analytics, including web-vitals measurement, to understand aggregate site reliability and performance. Optional preference, analytics, and marketing cookies are controlled through Cookie Preferences.

Cookie Categories and Optional Technologies

Our optional technologies may include analytics tools beyond cookieless operational measurement and marketing or advertising tools that help us measure campaigns and reach visitors on other services. These optional technologies are loaded only when the relevant cookie category is allowed and, for sale/share-related marketing choices, when a Do Not Sell or Share opt-out or Global Privacy Control signal is not active for the browser.

We also use first-party analytics identifiers for conversion attribution and product experimentation (A/B testing). These include a short-lived value that records which call-to-action led toward a request and a randomly generated per-browser identifier used to keep experiment assignments consistent. They are treated as analytics technologies and their use depends on your location: for visitors in the United States outside California, they may be used unless a Do Not Sell or Share opt-out or Global Privacy Control signal is active for the browser, or you turn off the Analytics category in Cookie Preferences; for visitors in the EU/EEA, California, and locations we cannot determine, they are used only after analytics consent is granted. Withdrawing analytics consent removes these values where the browser allows it.

Cookie Preferences provides controls for strictly necessary, preference, analytics, and marketing categories. You may also use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information control in the footer to opt out of sale/share-related marketing technologies for this browser.

Some third-party services may process information according to their own privacy notices when they are allowed to load or when you intentionally navigate to those services.

Your Cookie Choices

You can accept all optional cookies, reject all optional cookies, choose by category, or change your saved choices later through Cookie Preferences. Withdrawing consent prevents future optional vendor loading where technically available and removes known first-party optional cookies and storage values where the browser allows it.

You can also disable or delete cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls may affect both Howdy cookies and cookies set by third-party services.

California Privacy Rights and Choices

California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to know, delete, correct, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.

  • Request that a business disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data collected.
  • Request that a business delete any personal data collected.
  • Request that a business correct inaccurate personal data.
  • Request that a business not sell or share personal data.
  • Request that a business limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, where applicable.

To opt out of sale or sharing choices for this website, use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer or reject marketing cookies in Cookie Preferences. If your browser sends a recognized Global Privacy Control signal, this website treats that signal as an opt-out of sale/sharing for that browser where required by applicable law.

To exercise other California privacy rights, please contact us.
