Privacy Policy

SITE INFORMATION YOUR PRIVACY

Privacy, explained clearly.

This policy explains what information Home Policy Atlas may receive when you visit the website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

Last updated: November 4, 2026

Home Policy Atlas is an educational website about U.S. residential property insurance, coverage, and claims. You can read our public guides without sending us a message or creating a reader account.

01 / OVERVIEW

Who this policy covers

This Privacy Policy describes information handled in connection with HomePolicyAtlas.com, visits to our pages, and messages sent to our published contact address. It does not govern websites, products, or services operated independently by third parties, even when we link to them.

02 / DATA

Information we may receive

Information you send

If you email us, we receive the email address, message, name, attachments, and other information you choose to include.

Technical visit data

Hosting and security systems may process IP addresses, browser and device information, page requests, timestamps, and diagnostic or security logs.

Please do not send policy numbers, claim files, Social Security numbers, passwords, financial account details, or other sensitive information to our general editorial inbox. If you visit or transact with an outside provider, that activity takes place under the provider’s own policies.

03 / TECHNOLOGY

Cookies and analytics

Cookies or similar technologies may be used to support essential website functions, security, and performance. If analytics or other non-essential services are enabled, those providers may process page views, device or browser characteristics, identifiers, and interactions with the site according to their configurations.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may be affected. Depending on your location and the tools actually used, applicable law may require additional notices, consent, or other controls for non-essential technologies.

04 / THIRD PARTIES

External links, referrals, and advertising

Our articles may link to insurance regulators, insurers, educational materials, or other third-party websites. A link is not necessarily a paid referral. If a commercial referral or affiliate arrangement applies to a particular link, the external provider may use its own tracking or referral technologies under its policies.

If third-party advertising or embedded services are enabled on Home Policy Atlas, the relevant providers may process information under their own terms and applicable privacy requirements. We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

For more about possible commercial relationships, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

05 / PURPOSE

How information may be used

Information may be used to operate, maintain, and secure the website; troubleshoot technical problems; respond to correspondence, correction requests, and privacy inquiries; and maintain records when reasonably necessary. If optional analytics, advertising, or referral-measurement services are enabled, related data may also support those functions.

06 / DISCLOSURE

Service providers and international processing

Information may be handled by providers that support website hosting, security, email, and any analytics, advertising, or other services actually enabled. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect the website and its users.

Some service providers may process information in countries other than the visitor’s country. The handling of that information depends on the provider’s practices, contractual protections, and applicable legal requirements.

07 / PROTECTION

Retention and security

Correspondence and operational records may be kept as needed to respond to inquiries, administer the website, investigate security issues, resolve disputes, or meet legal requirements. Retention periods depend on the type of information and the policies of applicable service providers.

We aim to use reasonable measures to protect information under our control. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed completely secure.

08 / CONTROL

Your choices and privacy rights

You can limit cookies through browser settings, choose not to follow external links, or avoid sending information by email. Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or other controls concerning personal information we hold.

To make a privacy-related request, email [email protected] with enough detail for us to understand your request. We may need to verify your identity or authority before acting. If another organization controls the relevant information, you may need to contact it directly.

09 / ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Children, outside websites, and changes

Home Policy Atlas is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the situation.

Third-party websites have their own privacy notices. We may revise this policy as the site, its services, or applicable requirements change. The update date near the top of this page will be revised when the policy is materially updated.
