We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often you visit, what pages you view, and what other sites you visited before coming to ours. We use this information solely to improve our website. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit, but we do not combine this with other data to identify you personally. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics purposes (Google Analytics) and to remember user preferences (such as dark/light mode settings and calculator access status). These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some website features may not function as intended.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Homeowner request data is retained for the duration of the bidding process and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping purposes.
