Privacy Policy

Introduction

Home Best Hub ("we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect information when you visit homebesthub.com, use our Best Next Step planner, contact us, request a consultation or subscribe to our newsletter. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to give us, including:

• Your name, email address, phone number and property address.
• Details about your home and project, including services of interest, messages, photos and plans.
• Newsletter preferences and topics you select when subscribing.
• Information you share during consultations, site visits, phone calls and emails.

We also collect certain technical information automatically, such as your browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites and an approximate location based on your IP address.

Our Best Next Step Planner

The Best Next Step planner on our home page lets you rate the condition of different parts of your home and see suggested priorities. The planner runs entirely in your browser. Your selections are not sent to us unless you choose to send them. If you select the option to send your plan, your choices are stored temporarily in your browser session so they can be added to the message box on our Contact Us page. You can review, edit or delete that text before submitting the form.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries and arrange consultations and site visits.
• Prepare estimates, proposals and contracts that you request.
• Plan, permit, schedule and complete renovation and installation projects.
• Communicate with you about appointments, project progress and warranties.
• Send newsletters and updates to subscribers.
• Maintain, secure and improve our website and services.
• Comply with legal, tax, licensing and regulatory obligations.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our pages. Some features use browser session storage, for example to carry your email address from the footer newsletter box to the Subscribe page, or to carry your planner results to the Contact Us page. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not work as intended if cookies or storage are disabled.

Analytics and Advertising

We may use analytics services to learn which pages and articles are most useful and how visitors find our website. These services may collect information about pages viewed, time spent on the site and the device and browser used. We may also use limited advertising tools to show information about our services to people who have previously visited our website. You can limit this activity through your browser settings, available opt out tools or by blocking cookies.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

• Service providers who host our website, deliver emails and support our business operations.
• Subcontractors, suppliers and installers who help us complete your project.
• Independent lenders or warranty providers, only when you ask us to connect you with them.
• Utilities, permitting offices and inspectors when needed for your project, such as for solar interconnection or building permits.
• Professional advisers such as accountants, insurers and attorneys.
• Government authorities when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

Lenders and Warranty Providers

If you ask us to introduce you to an independent lender or warranty provider, we share only the information needed for that introduction, such as your name, contact details and a summary of your project. These companies handle your information under their own privacy policies and may contact you directly. We do not share your information with them unless you ask us to.

Calls, Texts and Emails

If you provide your phone number or email address, we may contact you about your enquiry, appointments and project updates. We send marketing text messages only with your consent. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time, and we may still contact you about active consultations or projects.

Project Photos

We may photograph our work to document progress and quality. With your permission, we may share photos of completed projects on our website or social media without publishing your name or address. You may ask us not to use photos of your home at any time.

Biometric Information

We do not collect biometric identifiers or biometric information, such as fingerprints, face geometry or voiceprints, through our website. If any future service involves this type of information, we will provide the notices and obtain the consents required by Illinois law before collecting it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law, including the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services, honouring warranties, resolving disputes and meeting legal and accounting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete it or remove details that identify you.

Keeping Your Information Accurate

We want the information we hold about you to be accurate and up to date. If your contact details, property address or communication preferences change, please let us know so that we can update our records, schedule visits correctly and send proposals to the right place.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to certain legal exceptions. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To make a request, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

You can also browse most of our website and use the planner without identifying yourself, decline optional cookies, unsubscribe from marketing emails and ask us not to use photos of your home.

Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can delete it.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is not yet a common industry standard for responding to these signals, our website does not currently respond to them. We will update this policy if our practice changes.

Third Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites, embedded maps and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before sharing information with them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. Please review this policy periodically.
