Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information HomePriceFacts ("we", "us") collects when you visit this website, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep this short and plain on purpose.
Information we collect
Automatically: like almost every website, our hosting and analytics tools record standard technical information — pages visited, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, and referring page. This is aggregated and used to understand which guides are useful.
When you contact us: if you email us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use it only to reply and, where you report a price, to improve our guides (anonymously).
We do not operate user accounts, sell personal information, or collect payment details. We never ask for financial information by email.
Cookies, web beacons and advertising — required disclosures
This site is supported by advertising served by Google AdSense. In connection with that ad serving, data collection, sharing and usage takes place as described here, using technologies including cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers. Third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your browser, or using web beacons or IP addresses to collect information, as a result of ad serving on this website.
- Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Third-party vendors and ad networks: the advertising on this site is served by Google (Google AdSense / Google Ads). We have not opted out of third-party ad serving, so cookies of other third-party vendors or ad networks in Google's certified ad technology providers may also be used to serve ads on this site. You can see how Google uses data from sites that use its services at How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, review Google's advertising technologies at Google advertising policies, and visit the vendors' own websites to opt out of their cookies for personalised advertising where they offer that capability, or opt out of many vendors at once at aboutads.info/choices.
Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in settings; our cookie policy explains the types of cookies used and your management options in detail. Blocking cookies will not stop ads appearing, but they will be less relevant to you.
Consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland
Where required by law (including under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, and equivalent UK law), we obtain your consent — through a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework — before cookies or other local storage are used and before your personal data is collected, shared or used for ads personalisation. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the consent settings shown on the site, or by contacting us. If you do not consent, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalised.
California and other US state rights
We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies may constitute "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law (CCPA/CPRA); you can opt out of that sharing via the consent/opt-out links above, by enabling a Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, or by emailing us. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16.
Device and location data
We do not collect precise geographic location (such as GPS data). Advertising and hosting systems process IP addresses, from which only an approximate (country/region/city-level) location is inferred, as described above.
Third-party links
Our guides link to external sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites; check their policies.
Children
This site is written for adult homeowners and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live (for example California or the EEA/UK), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of certain uses. Email us at the address on our contact page and we will action requests promptly. We hold very little personal data — mainly emails you have sent us.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and its date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
