Privacy policy

This policy explains what information CO Homes Pro (cohomespro.com) collects, why, and what happens to it. It describes how the site works today. It is not legal advice.

Information you send us

When you use the question form on the contact page, we receive your name, email address, the topic and timing you choose, the city or area if you give one, and your message. We use it to read and reply to your question and to decide which topics the guides should cover. We do not sell it, rent it, or share it for marketing.

Form submissions are stored in a database on our web host and sent by email to the person who answers questions. We keep submissions only as long as they are useful for replying and for improving the guides, then delete them. You can ask us to delete your submission at any time through the contact form.

Information collected automatically

• Spam protection. To limit abuse of the form, we store a one-way hashed value derived from your connection's IP address together with submission times. The hash cannot be turned back into your IP address. It is used only for rate limiting.
• Session cookie. The contact page sets a session cookie that holds a security token for the form. It is not used for tracking and expires when you close your browser.
• Server logs. Like most websites, our host keeps standard access logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) for security and troubleshooting.

The site does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics at the time of this update. Fonts and images are served from our own server.

Information that stays on your device

The interactive checklists and the seasonal calendar save your checkmarks in your browser's local storage. That information never leaves your device, and we cannot see it. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Translation

If you choose a language other than English in the language menu, the site loads Google Translate, which sends page content to Google to be translated and sets a cookie named googtrans to remember your choice. Google's own privacy policy applies to that service. If you never change the language, Google Translate is not loaded.

Links to other sites

Guides link to outside sources such as the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Those sites have their own privacy practices.

Children

This site is written for adult homeowners and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the date at the top will change too. Questions about privacy can be sent through the contact form.
