Privacy notice

When you calculate a project estimate, project inputs are sent to HomeNestIQ’s estimate endpoint and are not submitted to a contractor. For applicable estimates, only the ZIP code is also sent to HUD USER or Zippopotam.us to identify state geography. On appliance comparison pages, the ZIP is used only for a separate guide-reference band; entered repair and replacement amounts stay unchanged. These public lookup services do not receive other project specifications or supply contractor prices. Project estimates are not saved automatically. If you are signed in and explicitly choose Save to account, the project inputs and a server-calculated result snapshot are stored in your account until you delete them or delete your account. If you choose Share, project inputs or rent-versus-buy assumptions may be placed in the link’s query string and included in the copied summary; links can appear in browser history or be visible to recipients, so do not share them if the inputs are sensitive. Print / PDF uses your browser’s print workflow. The project-budget planner keeps inputs in page memory unless you explicitly save a single draft in browser local storage on this device. You can explicitly load or delete that draft; it is not saved to your account or sent to contractors. Device drafts can be read by others using the same browser profile and can be erased by browser cleanup. Estimate-to-budget links contain the project type and illustrative starting amount in the URL, but no ZIP or scope notes. Printed budget summaries include the names, notes, and amounts you enter. Two-bid comparison entries are held in temporary page memory only, are not sent to HomeNestIQ, and are discarded when you reload or leave the page. You can copy or print a comparison summary when you choose to keep one.

Supabase Auth is used for account sessions. Project estimates are stored only after you explicitly save them while signed in. The homecostiq_project_estimates table uses row-level security that restricts reads and writes to the authenticated user ID. You can review and delete saved estimates at /account/estimates, download them through the account export, or remove them when you delete your account. Account deletion does not delete separate contact or project-interest submissions. Other homeowner-profile and scenario features have separate database-table requirements.

The Find a Pro form and server endpoint are paused; no new project-interest records are accepted until production owner review, privacy contact, database, and scheduled-retention checks are satisfied. If enabled, the form collects name, email, ZIP code, project type, timeframe, project description, consent choices, and submission time. Processing consent is required; contractor-sharing and updates consent are separate and optional. This release does not route submissions to contractors, no referral is guaranteed, and owner alerts are available only inside the protected dashboard.

The production cleanup job is scheduled daily and removes project-interest records older than 90 days.

The Contact form and its server endpoint remain disabled, so new messages are not accepted. Before being paused, the form stored name, email, message, consent status, and submission time in the HomeNestIQ application database; no email delivery or administrator notification was configured. Existing messages have not been deleted by this change.

The production cleanup job is scheduled daily and removes contact messages older than 12 months.

Production analytics and performance monitoring are enabled through Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. HomeNestIQ also stores daily aggregate HVAC pilot counts by event, project slug, and UTC date; those rows contain no user ID, ZIP, email, phone, name, message, or entered price. Custom analytics events contain event names and limited project context, not contact details or account IDs. A daily production cleanup is active for contact messages older than 12 months, project-interest records older than 90 days, and rate-limit rows older than 24 hours. No retention or automatic deletion schedule is confirmed for pilot aggregates. Technical logs and provider backups may have separate provider-controlled schedules.

No AdSense code or ad requests are active in this release, so account data, ZIP codes, saved estimates, entered bids, and calculator inputs are not sent to advertising systems. Ad requests must remain disabled until the owner supplies the actual AdSense ownership/publisher details and ads.txt entry, and a Google-certified consent platform is configured and tested for personalized ads in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. No CMP or AdSense verification method is represented as configured here.

You can use calculators without submitting contact details. If you sign in, you can explicitly save project estimates, view or delete them at /account/estimates, export them, or permanently delete your account; account deletion cascades saved estimate rows. Historic contact and project-interest submissions are separate from account deletion and have not been removed by this change. This release does not offer a self-service deletion workflow for historic inquiry records; identity verification may be needed for a request.

No monitored privacy contact is configured, so privacy requests cannot currently be received by email.

Project-interest submissions remain paused until production owner review, privacy contact, secure database, and scheduled cleanup checks pass.
