Privacy Policy

Information the site may process

Hosting providers, browsers, content-delivery services, and basic analytics tools may process standard access data such as IP address, visit time, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate region. This data supports security, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and site improvements. The site currently has no accounts, comments, mortgage applications, or document uploads.

Google ads, cookies, and similar technologies

This site uses or plans to use Google AdSense. Google, advertising partners, and other third parties may place or read cookies in your browser and may use web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to serve, limit, measure, and improve ads. Google and its partners may serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on visits to this and other websites.

Consent choices and browser controls

For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other regions where consent is required, the site uses a Google consent message with options to consent, decline, or manage choices. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Site content remains readable when cookies are disabled, though advertising or measurement may not work normally.

Sharing, external links, and retention

The site does not sell personal mortgage information and does not request Social Security numbers, income files, or bank details. Hosting, advertising, and analytics providers may process access data under their own policies. Links to FRED, Freddie Mac, ICE, the Federal Reserve, and other outside sites are governed by those operators. Security logs and aggregate measurements are retained under the normal schedules of the relevant service providers.

Children and policy changes

The site is intended for a general audience researching U.S. mortgage markets, is not directed to children under 13, and does not knowingly collect personal information submitted by children. This page and its update date will change if site features, advertising services, or data practices materially change.
