At ExchangeHomes.Com, we value our members. You are what make us successful and we know we have an obligation to you, not only to provide the highest quality service, but to never breach the trust you place in us.
ExchangeHomes.Com has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. Any and all information collected at this site will be kept strictly confidential and will not be sold, reused, rented, loaned, or otherwise disclosed. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this site.
The ExchangeHomes.Com Web site logs IP addresses for systems administration purposes. An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. IP addresses are logged by us to track a user's session. This gives ExchangeHomes.Com an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user's session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous.
On certain pages, such as the "Contact Us" form, we ask users to provide us with their names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, demographic, and other personal information. This personal information is only gathered by us with the user's knowing and active permission and participation.
We review and discard the information in some cases, while in others we may use the information to tailor our user's Web experience, generate anonymous statistics, or to contact users via email or postal mail (e.g. to send newsletters, further information on our programs, etc.) at their request.
Currently, to better serve our members with many more home exchange opportunities in Europe, ExchangeHomes.com has arranged an affiliation with Echangeimmo.com, a leading French home exchange organization. Echangeimmo has an English language portal—HomeForSwaps.com—serving exchangers throughout the UK; both web sites are fed from one database.
Echangeimmo / HomeForSwaps enforces a privacy policy very similar to our own and just like ExchangeHomes.com, is a member of CHECtravel, the organization that has created and maintains professional standards for home exchange agencies, as well as a code of conduct for individual exchangers. All CHECtravel member clubs have been assessed and approved by an independent committee consisting of club owners, industry professionals and experienced home exchangers.
Outside of our affiliation with Echangimmo, ExchangeHomes.Com never has and never will, sell or give away personal information to other organizations. ExchangeHomes.com does not reveal your name, street address, phone number, or email address in your listing, or make them available over the World Wide Web. Our sophisticated programming hides your personal contact information yet makes it possible for fellow members to contact you directly from your listing 24/7. Any records kept are for our internal use and are for administrative purposes only.
We believe that organizations that partake in selling your personal Information are behaving unethically, and are invading your privacy! We encourage you to ask organizations about their own privacy policies, and what they intend to do with the information they collect from you.
We use temporary cookies on our web site. Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record keeping purposes. Cookies make Web surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, transactions, and preferences while you're at a web site. The use of cookies is an industry standard - you'll find them at most major Web sites. All cookies used are terminated from your computer immediately you log-off and exit our web site.
