Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Home Resource collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Home Resource’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Home Resource’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Home Resource may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Home Resource also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Shopify.com blogs. Home Resource only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Home Resource’s websites choose to interact with Home Resource in ways that require Home Resource to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Home Resource gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. In each case, Home Resource collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Home Resource. Home Resource does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activites.

Aggregated Statistics

Home Resource may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Home Resource may monitor the most popular blogs on the Shopify.com site or use spam screened services to help identify spam. Home Resource may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Home Resource does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information 

Home Resource discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Home Resource’s behalf or to provide services available at Home Resource’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Home Resource’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Home Resource will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Home Resource discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Home Resource believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Home Resource, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Home Resource website and have supplied your email address, Home Resource may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Home Resource and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Home Resource takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Home Resource uses cookies to help Home Resource identify and track visitors, their usage of Home Resource website, and their website access preferences. Home Resource visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Home Resource’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Home Resource’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Business Transfers

If Home Resource, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Home Resource goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Home Resource may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Home Resource and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content submitted to our anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Home Resource may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Home Resource’s sole discretion. Home Resource encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a Shopify.com account, you should also check your blog’s dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
