HEARTH & HOME INSPECTIONS CO., LLC ("Hearth & Home," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit hearthandhomene.com, schedule an inspection or consultation, or contact us, and how we use and protect it.

Information We Collect

Information you give us

  • Contact form: your name, email address, phone number, whether you are a homeowner, buyer, seller, or realtor, the property address (optional), and your message.
  • Scheduling: when you book an inspection or home maintenance consultation through our online calendar, we collect your name, contact details, the property address, the services you select, your appointment time, and any notes you provide. Realtor name and contact information, and the client's information when a realtor books on a client's behalf.
  • Phone and email: information you share when you call (308) 224-5194 or email us.

Information we create while providing services

During an inspection, we take photos and notes of the property and prepare a written report. Reports describe the condition of the home and may include test results such as radon, mold, or sewer scope findings when those services are ordered.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our site and its service providers may automatically collect basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

  • Closing and payment: If you choose a Pay-at-Closing option, we share the information needed to collect payment with the title or closing company handling your transaction.
  • Legal reasons: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights, our clients, or the public.
