Privacy Policy

Housing Opportunities Made Equal of Virginia’s Privacy Policy

Housing Opportunities Made Equal of Virginia (HOME) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate HOME’s firm commitment to the privacy of our clients and website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected by HOME’s website, www.homeofva.org, and how this information is used.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected

Individuals that sign up to receive HOME e-communications voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future if you do not wish to receive our messages. For individuals that complete any of our program applications, additional information is voluntarily provided that is required for program qualification and participation.

How Your Information May Be Used

We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; to process your program application; to contact you about your program/case via telephone or SMS (text) message, etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitors to our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users’ needs.

Email and Telephone Privacy

HOME does not provide, sell, or rent email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information to anyone outside the organization, except for when it is necessary for program participation (i.e., credit checks), in which case additional disclosures will be provided to the client so they may provide explicit consent for these services.

External Links

Our website, www.homeofva.org, includes links to external websites. These links do not fall under the www.homeofva.org domain, and HOME is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.

Modifications

We may amend this privacy policy from time to time; please review it periodically. We maintain the option to modify this privacy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
