1) Information we collect

A. Information you provide

§  Identifiers & contact details: name, email address, phone number, and your communication preferences.

§  Account & communications: content of messages you send to us, support requests, and feedback.

§  Business context: if you interact with us on behalf of a company/HOA/TIC, we may collect your role/title and organization.

We do not request or process sensitive personal information (e.g., precise geolocation, government IDs, health, biometrics).

B. Information collected automatically

When you visit our site, we automatically collect limited device and usage data, such as IP address, browser/OS type, referring pages, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site secure, measure performance, and understand basic usage.

C. Information from third parties

We generally do not obtain personal information from third parties. If that changes (e.g., we enable analytics or advertising partners), we will update this Policy and our cookie notice.

2) How we use information

We use personal information to:

§  Provide and operate the Services, including account creation/management and customer support.

§  Communicate with you (service notices, responses to inquiries, optional marketing with your consent/opt-in as required).

§  Improve and secure the Services, including debugging, auditing, and preventing fraud and abuse.

§  Comply with law and enforce our agreements.

Legal bases (EEA/UK/Switzerland): performance of a contract, our legitimate interests (running, improving, and securing the Services), compliance with legal obligations, and—where required—your consent.

3) How we disclose information

We disclose personal information only as follows:

§  Service providers/processors: e.g., website hosting, email delivery, customer support tools, and (if enabled) basic analytics. These parties are bound by contract to use information only to provide services to us.

§  Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

§  Legal, safety, and rights: to comply with law or valid legal process; to protect the rights, safety, and security of you, us, users, or the public; or to detect/prevent fraud or abuse.

We do not sell personal information for money. We also do not “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law, and we do not engage in targeted advertising as defined in CO/CT/UT/VA laws.

4) Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies for security and core functionality. We may also use performance/analytics cookies to understand aggregate usage (e.g., page views, load times). You can control cookies via your browser settings and (if we deploy a banner) our cookie preference manager.

§  Blocking cookies may impact certain features.

§  For more details, see our Cookie Notice (link in footer) once enabled.

5) Social logins (if used)

If we later offer sign-in via a third-party platform (e.g., Google, Facebook), we will receive limited profile information from that provider (typically name and email). We use the information to authenticate your account and provide the Services. Your use of a social login is also governed by that provider’s privacy policy. (If we do not enable social login, this section does not apply.)

6) Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, comply with legal/recordkeeping obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When no longer needed, we will delete or de-identify the information. If deletion is not immediately possible (e.g., backups), we will securely store and isolate it until deletion.

7) Security

We implement reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect personal information (e.g., encryption in transit, access controls). However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Use the Services in a secure environment and notify us promptly if you suspect any misuse.

8) Children’s privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it. We also do not sell or share the personal information of consumers under age 16.

9) Your privacy rights (US & international)

United States (general)

Depending on your state, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a portable copy of your personal information, and to opt out of sales/sharing/targeted advertising (not applicable here as we do not engage in those activities). You may also have the right to appeal a decision regarding your request.

How to exercise your rights:
 Email us at info@homworks.co with your request. We will verify your identity (e.g., by matching data we have on file). If we deny your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision email with “Appeal” in the subject line. We will respond within the timelines required by your state law.

California (CPRA/CCPA)

California residents have the right to know/access, delete, correct, and opt-out of sale/share (not applicable here). You also have the right to limit the use/disclosure of sensitive personal information (not applicable—we do not collect SPI), and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. You may use an authorized agent; we will verify their authority consistent with California law.

Shine the Light: We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing.
  Minor’s right to remove content: If you are under 18 and have a registered account, you may request removal of content you posted; removal may not be complete (e.g., backups).

Colorado / Connecticut / Utah / Virginia

Residents may have similar rights (access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out of targeted advertising/sale/profiling). We do not engage in targeted advertising/sale/profiling that produces legal/similarly significant effects. Appeals: If we deny your request, reply with “Appeal” and we will review and respond within the required timeframe.

EEA/UK/Switzerland (GDPR)

You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object, and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time (this won’t affect prior processing). You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

10) Do-Not-Track

There is no uniform industry response to DNT signals. We do not respond to DNT at this time.

12) International transfers (EEA/UK/Switzerland)

If we transfer personal information outside your country (e.g., to the United States), we will rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) or another lawful transfer mechanism.
