Privacy Policy

The Housing Pipeline ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

• Account information: your email address and a securely hashed password when you create an account.
• Subscription information: which plan you're on and its status, so we can gate Premium content correctly.
• Payment information: processed entirely by Stripe. We never see, store, or touch your card number.
• Usage data: basic, aggregated analytics about which pages are visited, so we can improve the service. No cross-site tracking, no ad-tech cookies.

2. How we use it

• To deliver the editions you subscribed to, by email and on the web.
• To manage your account, subscription, and billing.
• To send service notices (receipts, expiring cards, plan changes).
• To improve the service based on aggregate usage patterns.

We will never sell your personal information. We don't share it with advertisers or data brokers, period.

3. Service providers

We share limited data with the providers who run the service:

• Stripe — payment processing (subject to Stripe's privacy policy).
• Cloudflare — hosting and content delivery.
• Resend — transactional and newsletter email delivery.

Each processes data only as needed to provide their service to us.

4. Cookies

We use a single strictly-necessary cookie to keep you signed in. That's it — no advertising or tracking cookies.

5. Data retention

We keep your account data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we're required to retain records (e.g., tax and transaction records).

6. Your rights

You can access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time from your account page, or by emailing hello@thehousingpipeline.com. Colorado residents have additional rights under the Colorado Privacy Act, including the right to opt out of certain data processing and to appeal a denial of a privacy request.

7. Children

The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes, we'll notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect.

9. Contact

Draft for review — this policy should be reviewed by a licensed attorney before launch.
