Privacy Policy

Effective October 28, 2026

In short: there are no accounts, and we don't collect or store the information you type into the calculator. It stays in your browser tab and is cleared when you close it. We don't sell your information, show ads or use tracking cookies.

1. What you enter stays in your browser

Your service profile, the homes you check and your saved homes are kept only in your browser's temporary storage for that tab. They're kept if you refresh the page and erased when you close the tab or window, or when you click "Start over now." We never receive or store them.

2. When something leaves your device

A few features need to contact another service. Only what's needed is sent:

ZIP code lookup: when you enter a ZIP code, it's sent to the free Zippopotam.us service to find the city and state.
Listing links: if you paste a short app link (like a Redfin share link), the link is sent to our server so we can find the listing's address. We use it only to answer your request and don't keep it.
Map: map images come from OpenStreetMap, and the map's code loads from Cloudflare's cdnjs service.
Fonts: the site's fonts load from Google Fonts.
Visit counts: a small Cloudflare Web Analytics script records anonymous page visits (see section 5).

Like any website, these services and our host can see basic technical details, such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request.

3. Our hosting

The site is hosted by Netlify. Netlify keeps standard server records, such as IP addresses, pages requested and times, to run and protect the service. We use these only in summary form, for example to see how much traffic the site gets.

4. Feedback

The "Send feedback" button opens a Google Form. Anything you choose to type there is collected by Google and shared with us, so please don't include sensitive information. We use feedback only to improve the site. Google's own privacy policy applies to the form.

5. Cookies and tracking

We don't use advertising, tracking cookies or tools that follow you across other websites.

To see how many people visit, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page visits and shows general information such as the page viewed, the website that sent you, your browser, device type and country. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't identify you and doesn't track you across other sites. It never sees what you type into the calculator.

6. Partner websites

If you use the Valorwise Home calculator on a partner's website, what you enter in the calculator stays in your browser the same way. The partner's own website and its privacy policy apply to everything else on their page.

7. Selling or sharing your information

We don't sell or share your personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.

8. Children

The site is meant for adults planning a home purchase. It isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

9. Changes

If our practices change, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
