TheMoveTips ("we," "us," or "this site") publishes independent moving cost guides and free tools. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
We do not require an account to use this site, and we do not ask for your name, address, or payment details for anything we publish. When you use the cost calculator or DOT lookup tool, the details you enter (such as a city, state, or company name) are sent to our server or a public government database only to generate your result, and are not stored against your identity or linked to you personally.
Like most websites, our server and our advertising and analytics partners automatically receive some technical information from your browser: your IP address, browser type, device type, and the pages you visit. This is standard log and cookie data collected by nearly every website and ad network on the internet.
Cookies and advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to show ads, which may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, you will see a consent banner asking for your permission before any personalized advertising cookies are set, and you can withdraw that consent at any time from the same banner.
You can opt out of personalized advertising generally by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
Third-party services
Beyond Google AdSense, our DOT license lookup tool queries the U.S. Department of Transportation's public Open Data Portal directly to retrieve official carrier registration records. We do not control that government service's own data practices.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request its deletion, or to opt out of its sale or sharing. Since we do not collect or store personal information tied to your identity beyond standard cookie and log data, most of these requests apply to our advertising partners rather than to us directly. You can reach us at any time using the contact details below with questions about this policy.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect the limited information our systems process, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time as our tools, advertising partners, or legal obligations change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
