Privacy Policy | NearbyHomeBuilders

NearbyHomeBuilders.com ("NearbyHomeBuilders," "we," "us," or "our") operates a directory of licensed home builders and contractors and connects homeowners with builder partners. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you provide

We collect information you submit through forms on our site, including:

Contact form: name, email, the topic of your message, and any details you choose to include.
Get-quotes flow: project type, location (ZIP / city), timeline, budget range, and contact details (name, email, phone) you enter to receive quotes from builder partners.
Lead quiz: project preferences, location, timeline, and contact details you provide at the end of the quiz.
Builder / partner inquiries: business name, contact name, email, phone, and the type of partnership you're interested in.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our site, we and our infrastructure providers automatically receive:

IP address, approximate geolocation, browser type and version, device and operating system, and referring URL.
Pages viewed, links clicked, time on page, and similar usage events.
Cookies and similar technologies used by our hosting (Cloudflare) and analytics tooling to remember preferences, measure performance, and prevent abuse.

How we use information

To respond to contact-form messages, builder inquiries, and other requests you send us.
To match your quote request or quiz responses with appropriate builder partners and pass the details necessary to follow up with you.
To operate, secure, and improve the directory, including site analytics and abuse prevention.
To send transactional messages related to a request you submitted (for example, confirming a quote request).
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

How we share information

Builder partners. When you submit a quote request or complete the lead quiz with the intent of being contacted, we share the project details and contact information you provided with one or more builder partners so they can contact you. These partners are independent businesses and use your information under their own privacy practices.
Affiliate networks. If you click a partner link (for example, a mortgage, warranty, or insurance partner), the destination site may receive information about the referral. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Service providers. We use vendors to host the site, deliver email, store form submissions, and analyze usage. They process information only on our behalf.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of NearbyHomeBuilders, our users, or others.

We do not sell your personal information for cash. Sharing your quote-request details with builder partners so they can contact you about your project is a core part of the service you're requesting.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality (such as keeping the site secure and remembering preferences) and for analytics that help us understand which pages and listings are useful. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some features of the site may not work as expected.

Your choices and rights

Access, correction, or deletion. You can request a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it.
Opt out of partner contact. If you've submitted a quote request and no longer want a builder partner to contact you, contact us and we'll do our best to help. You can also ask the builder directly to stop contacting you.
Marketing emails. Any marketing emails we send will include an unsubscribe link.
State-specific rights. Depending on where you live (for example, California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws), you may have additional rights including the right to know, delete, correct, or opt out of certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, please use our contact form.

Data retention

We retain form submissions and related records for as long as needed to provide the service, respond to follow-up requests, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. We then delete or anonymize the data.

Children

Our site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we'll delete it.

Third-party links

Builder profile pages, blog posts, and partner offers may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their privacy policies separately.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify users.
