Information Use
How do we use your information and what do we do with it?
HOMEOWNERING is a company that helps make complicated financial decisions tangible for people by offering them a set of web-based financial tools.
HOMEOWNERING only collects personally identifiable information that is necessary to
• Process customer accounts; and
• Answer questions posed by Users through its contact form or e-mail.
The HOMEOWNERING Web Site may contain links to other web sites with which HOMEOWNERING has no affiliation. Please be aware that HOMEOWNERING is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site to read the privacy statements of each web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by HOMEOWNERING.
HOMEOWNERING may also collect statistical information about you, which is not personally identifiable. Such statistical information helps us to improve the quality and usability of the Web Site and improve our marketing to others who may benefit from it.
We use statistical information to see what the flow is for people on the site, through tools like Google Analytics. Google Analytics tells us, for example, how many people who land on the home page visit other pages, and which ones. We cannot tell from our statistical tools who you are or identifying information about our visitors, unless you fill out a form for something like our newsletter (which is award-winning, by the way, we think you’d enjoy it!).
When a User visits our Web Site, we may place a text file, called a “cookie,” in the browser directory of the User’s hard drive. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website may store on a User’s computer and later retrieve while browsing the Web Site. Cookies do not contain User personal information. The information that cookies collect includes the date and time of a User’s visit, User’s registration information and navigational activity. The domain name of the site server transmitting the cookies is homeownering.com. Most browsers allow Users to decline cookies, but if a User elects to do so, certain Web Site pages may not display properly. The cookies that the Web Site creates are “session cookies,” which are typically deleted when the User closes his or her Internet browser.
Like many other web sites, HOMEOWNERING may use log files to collect aggregate information. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track Users’ movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
We use this information to tell, for example, how many of our visitors view our site from a desktop vs. a mobile phone, for example, so that we can improve the experience for our visitors.
Data Retention
HOMEOWNERING will retain financial data entered by you into certain financial tools available on the Web Site. Such data is tied to your User account and may be stored indefinitely or until the associated User account is deleted.
If you want your data deleted, and there is not a button available, just email us at help@homeownering.com and we will delete your data and confirm it’s deletion in a timely manner.
Sharing Information
HOMEOWNERING does not share personal information with any third parties. We are independently operated. We do use an email provider called ConvertKit, which runs our email system. For example, if you sign up for a newsletter on our site, your email is stored in ConvertKit software. ConvertKit is a privately owned company who’s privacy practices seem to be very in line with ours – no sharing of data, privately owned, no third party affiliations.
All of our systems that capture any financial information, such as our free, instant equity report, are 100% owned and maintained by Homeownering. No information is shared at all with any third parties or others.
Although we make every effort to preserve User privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, or when a court order or legal process served on the Web Site.
In other words, if a law enforcement entity forced us to divulge information, we, like other companies in that position, would need to comply with the request.
HOMEOWNERING will not share information about you with any person or company except as described above.
Customer Accounts
Information, including financial information, provided by customers to HOMEOWNERING as part of their customer accounts will be maintained as confidential and will not be available to non-account holders. Such information may be available to HOMEOWNERING employees and contractors for maintenance and customer service purposes.
We do sometimes use contractors, such as developers, to maintain our systems. All of our employees and contractors are trained on our privacy policies to make sure that they comply with our standards.
Minors
HOMEOWNERING does not intentionally collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18 years old, you should not enter information on this website and should ask a parent to do so for you.
If you are a particular precocious underage wannabe homeowner, just wait a few years until you are 18! We will be more than happy to help you when you become an official adult.
Correcting/ Updating/Deleting/ Deactivating Personal Information
Our email system allows you to opt out from any email that you receive, or opt out from all email communications. If you do not see this option, email us at help@homeownering.com and please provide us with your e-mail address and, if pertinent, your name. We will be sure your name and any other information requested is removed from our e-mail system or products.
Notification of Changes
If our information practices change at some time in the future, HOMEOWNERING will post the policy changes to this privacy statement on this page so our Users are always aware of the information that we collect. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should periodically visit this page and review this policy statement.
Happy Homeownering!
Thank you for reading this. Hats off to you for wanting to understand exactly what our privacy policy is.
