Privacy Policy

Effective October 9, 2026

Scope

This policy explains how Home Upgrade Initiative at homeupgradeinitiative.us handles information associated with this website. It does not cover independent websites, advertisers, contractors, or quote providers you visit through our links.

Information we receive

Our hosting provider processes technical information such as IP address, requested page, browser information, timestamps, and security logs to deliver and protect the site. If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any information you include.

The contractor enquiry form prepares an email in your own email application. It is not submitted to a website database. We receive it only if you send that email. Homeowner quote buttons generally open external provider forms or search results; information you submit there is received under those providers' privacy policies.

Cookies and advertising measurement

Where configured, optional marketing tracking measures visits and referral activity. We load the site's optional marketing script only after you accept it in Cookie Preferences. You can reject optional tracking or change your choice at any time. Our preference is stored locally in your browser. A Global Privacy Control signal disables optional marketing tracking on this site. See our Cookie Policy.

How information is used and shared

We use information to respond to enquiries, operate and secure the website, troubleshoot problems, and measure referrals when you consent. Hosting, security, email, and consented measurement providers may process information for these purposes. Referral links may carry campaign identifiers. We may receive compensation for referrals, as described in the Advertising Disclosure. We do not automatically send the contractor form to a contractor network.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights and security, or in connection with a business transfer subject to applicable protections. We do not ask for payment card details, government identification, or sensitive personal information through this website.

Retention and security

We retain correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to address your enquiry and related operational or legal obligations. Technical records are retained under the hosting provider's operational practices. No transmission or storage system is guaranteed secure; please do not email sensitive documents unnecessarily.

Your choices and rights

You can reject marketing tracking, use browser cookie controls, or email us to request access, correction, deletion, or an opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information where applicable. We may request proportionate verification for access or deletion requests, but not for a browser tracking opt-out. We will handle requests according to applicable law. See Your Privacy Choices.

Children and location

This website is intended for adult homeowners and contractors in the United States. It is not directed to children under 18. If you believe a child has supplied personal information, contact us so we can address it.

Changes

Updates will be posted here with a revised effective date. Material changes will be communicated where required.
