What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

Information submitted through the contact forms on our site is sent to our company email, hosted by Gmail. Google adheres to the EU “Privacy Shield” policy.

We keep these submissions for hiring and customer service purposes only. They are never used for marketing purposes or shared with any third parties.

Cookies

Our site uses the following cookies:

  • Google Analytics cookies – These are set for monitoring and tracking visitors behaviour on the site.
  • WordPress logged-in cookies – these are used by WordPress to authenticate logged-in visitors, password authentication, and user verification.
  • Toolset plugin cookies – this is used by our Toolset plugin (Toolset Types, Module Manager, and Toolset Forms) to properly provide functionality based on user status.
  • Limit Login Attempts cookies – this is used by the Limit login attempts plugin to provide brute force security in logins by monitoring user cookies.
Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We don’t share your data with third parties in a way as to reveal any of your personal information like email, name, etc.

Any contact messages received through this website related to hiring and customer service are also never used for marketing purposes or shared with any third parties.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

If you apply for a job position, the shared information can only be seen by our HR team. If you use one of the contact forms, the message can only be seen by our business administration team. You may contact us with any privacy-related concerns at be@homeby5.co

Additional information

How we protect your data

We protect customer data with the following site features: 

  • We are entirely using SSL/HTTPS throughout all our site. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so personal identifiable information is never captured by third parties without authorization.
  • Databases are sanitized (actual user personal details are removed) before deploying to a development or testing environment.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In case of a data breach, system administrators will immediately go through affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed after informing the user.

What third parties we receive data from

We enable third-party cookies and other similar technologies to collect or receive data from this Site and elsewhere for use in retargeting visitors to this Site and conversion tracking. This Privacy Statement does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of any third parties, including those that operate websites to which this Site links. The inclusion of a link on this Site does not imply that we or our affiliates endorse the practices of the linked website.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We don’t use data for any automated decision making or profiling.
