Welcome to www.housedecoder.com (the “Website”). This Website is operated by Gallop & Gallop Communications, Inc. DBA House Decoder (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are the data controller responsible for looking after your personal information.

This policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your data when you visit our Website, buy our services, or communicate with us. By using this Website, you agree to the collection and use of your data as outlined below.

THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We collect information that can identify you (“Personal Data”) in a few different ways: when you give it to us, when you browse our Website, or from outside sources.

Information You Give Us Directly:

Contact Details: First and last name, email address, phone number, company name, and job title.

Communications: Any messages or emails you send us through our “Contact Us” forms or direct email links.

Preferences: Your marketing and communication choices.

Billing Information: If you make a purchase, we collect your billing details. Note: We never see or store your credit card numbers; these are handled securely by our third-party payment processor.

In-Person Networking: If we meet you at a conference or event, we may collect your business card or contact details to follow up with you.

Information Collected Automatically (Cookies & Tracking):

Unless you have opted out, we automatically collect technical data when you browse our Website:

Usage Data: How long you stay on a page, your browsing path, and what links you click.

Device & Browser Data: Your IP address, browser type/version, operating system, and mobile device advertising IDs (like Apple IDFA or Android ID).

General Location Data: Your non-precise location (like your city or state) derived from your IP address. We use this to show you relevant regional content. We do not track your precise GPS coordinates.

Information From Others:

Business Partners: Advertising and analytics providers we partner with for marketing.

Social Media: Publicly available information if you connect with our team members via social channels.

Legal Authorities & Corporate Transactions: Data shared due to a legal request, or as part of a business merger, acquisition, or sale.

Important Note: If the law or a contract requires us to collect certain personal data and you choose not to provide it, we may not be able to offer you our services or full website functionality.

HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We use your information to keep our business running smoothly and securely. Specifically, we use it to:

• Provide, run, and maintain our Website and services.

• Notify you about website updates or changes.

• Respond to your support emails, questions, and complaints.

• Monitor website traffic and run data analytics to improve our content, services, and user experience.

• Protect our business from fraud, cyber threats, and illegal activity.

• Deliver relevant advertisements and marketing offers (unless you opt out).

• Comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws.

Data Aggregation: Sometimes, we strip away identifying details from data so it becomes completely anonymous. We may use or share this anonymous, aggregated data with partners for business or advertising research.

THIRD-PARTY TRACKING & ANALYTICS

We allow trusted partners to use cookies and pixels on our Website to help us analyze traffic and serve ads.

YOUR CHOICES & HOW TO OPT-OUT

If you don’t want to see ads tailored to your interests, you can limit interest-based advertising or opt-out of them. Note: You must opt-out on each browser and device you use.

SHARING AND DISCLOSING YOUR DATA

We do not sell your personal data. However, we do share it with trusted parties under these strict conditions:

Service Providers: Third parties who help us run our business (billing, tech support, analytics, ad networks). They are only allowed to use your data for tasks we assign them.

Your Consent: Anyone else you explicitly ask or allow us to share it with.

Business Transfers: If we sell, merge, or transfer part of our business, your data may transfer to the new owner.

Legal & Law Enforcement: If required by law, subpoena, or government authority to protect our legal rights, investigate wrongdoing, or ensure public safety.

Professional Advisors: Our lawyers, accountants, and insurers when necessary.

SECURITY, RETENTION, AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Security: We use strong technical safeguards to protect your data. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. We have breach notification procedures in place if an issue ever arises.

Retention: We only keep your personal data as long as necessary to fulfill business purposes, resolve disputes, or comply with tax, legal, and accounting laws.

International Transfers: Our operations are located in the United States. If you are visiting from outside the US, please note that your data will be transferred to and processed in the US, where privacy laws may differ from your home country.

Our Website is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and realize your child has provided us with personal data, email us at hello@housedecoder.com so we can delete it immediately.
