Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how [Legal Entity Name] (“Vera Home,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the Vera Home directory at verahome.pro.
1. Information we collect
Business listing data: name, address, phone number, hours, website, rating, review count, and photos, sourced from publicly available business information (including Google Business Profile data) and, once a listing is claimed, from the contractor directly.
Contractor account data: the mobile number you verify during claiming, your consent to be contacted at that number, services and photos you add, and payment information if you subscribe (handled by our payment processor — we don’t store full card numbers ourselves).
Homeowner usage data: pages viewed, searches performed, and similar interaction data, collected automatically as you browse the directory.
2. How we use information
- Operate and display the directory, including listing pages and search/filter results
- Verify a contractor’s authority to manage a listing, and secure their account
- Send account-related, verification, and (with consent) service-related calls and texts — including through automated or AI-assisted systems — as described in our SMS Terms
- Process subscription payments and maintain billing records
- Improve the directory’s accuracy, search relevance, and features
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
3. How we share information
We share information with the service providers that make the directory work, including:
- Payment processing (Stripe) for subscription billing
- Calling/texting infrastructure (e.g. Twilio) for verification and, with consent, other outreach
- Mapping and business-data services (Google Maps/Places)
- Data storage and hosting providers
- AI-assisted voice and chat tooling used to power verification calls and, for Premium/AI-website subscribers, the AI website’s chat and voice features
We don’t sell personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technology for core site functionality (like remembering your search filters). We don’t use them for third-party ad targeting.
5. Data retention
We retain listing and account information for as long as a listing is active or an account exists, and for a reasonable period after to comply with legal, tax, and dispute-resolution obligations.
6. Your California privacy rights
If you’re a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, request correction or deletion of it, and opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined under California law. We don’t sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise a privacy right, contact support@verahome.pro.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, but no system is completely secure, and we can’t guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time; the “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
