Location of Processing
We operate in the United States. Our servers and offices are located in the United States
and therefore personal data about you may be transferred to, stored, or processed in the
United States.
Duration of Processing
We limit our retention of your personal data to the time necessary to fulfill the personal
data’s original purpose. Your contact details, access data and analytics cookies are
kept indefinitely unless you specifically request for their removal. In the event of a
removal request, we will only retain the portion of personal data we believe is needed to
comply with the law or other regulatory request.
Data we collect
We collect information about you in two ways: directly from your inputs and through
automated technologies. When you visit our website, your device’s data is
automatically logged. This “access data” may include the following information:
your device’s IP address; your web browser type/version; your operating system (OS);
your internet service provider (ISP); dates/times you accessed the website; websites visited
by you prior to accessing our website; and websites you accessed from our website.
We use Google Analytics to collect non-personal information about you. Google Analytics
creates a usage profile for each visitor who accesses our website in order to optimize the
website’s user experience. A usage profile assigns you with a pseudonym that analyzes
your behavior while on the website. These data are anonymized and are not typically merged
with your other Google data. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit
Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
You can object to the use of Google Analytics by changing your browser settings or by
following the instructions at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Our website also collects personal data you voluntarily submit when using features on our
website, such as search queries, chat boxes, job applications, information requests, general
communications, billing forms, and click data. The personal data we collect may include your
contact information (first and last name, email address, mailing address, country of origin,
phone number), financial information and any other information you choose to disclose.
There will be times, such as when you self-register or register properties in the website
database, when we will need to obtain personally identifiable information from you or about
you. Such personally identifiable information may include your name, home address, business
address, e-mail address, telephone number, or your rank (if in the Military). The
information we receive about you or from you may be used by us and others to help process or
complete a transaction related to housing referrals on this website; to comply with any law,
regulation, audit or court order; to help improve our website or the products or services we
offer; for research; to better understand our customers' needs; to develop new offerings;
and to alert you to new products and services in which you may be interested. As a matter of
policy, we do not sell, rent or share any of your personal information, including your email
address, to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
It is your choice if you want to respond to the advertisements placed in our normal
communications.
Under some circumstances we may require financial information, including credit card
information to process user initiated credit card transactions for fee related services. All
financial transactions are processed via a secure, PCI compliant interface.
Special Categories of personal data (sensitive data)
We do not collect sensitive data (data pertaining to your race, religious or
political affiliation, sexual life or orientation) and discourage you from sharing any
sensitive data with us or through our website. We will have no liability whatsoever for
sensitive data and this Privacy Policy does not apply to our processing of sensitive data.

Sharing Your Data
We will not sell, market, rent, or otherwise distribute your personal data in ways not
contemplated by this Privacy Policy. We may provide your personal information (i) if we are
compelled to do so by law; (ii) with our subsidiaries and affiliates; (iii) to receive third
party services (data centers, mailing services, and web tracking); or (iv) in the event of a
merger or transfer of all business assets. We maintain strict internal policies that limit
when and how we disclose personal data to third parties and will use reasonable efforts to
ensure that any third party accessing and/or storing your personal data complies with this

AHRN.com cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to
enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights, to help protect
users from illegal activities. Therefore, in response to a verified request by law
enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged
illegal activity, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, city, state,
telephone number, email address, User ID history, fraud complaints, and listing history
without a subpoena. Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy, we
will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government
officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except
when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to: prevent
imminent physical harm or financial loss; or report suspected illegal activity.
Third party content
Our website integrates external services and links from other third-parties (e.g.: facebook,
twitter, youtube). By using the features and links of a third-party service provider, your
communication data are sent to the third-party service provider website. This Privacy Policy
does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, third-party cookies, web beacons, or
other tracking technologies located on third party websites.
Hotjar Session Data
We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and
experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience
(e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do
and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback.
Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices.
This includes a device’s IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form),
device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location
(country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this information
on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the
data collected on our behalf.
For further details, please see the ’about Hotjar’ section of Hotjar’s support site.
Interest-based Advertising
We partner with ad exchanges, web analytics vendors, social networking platforms and other
third parties to advertise on third-party sites. We allow our partners to use cookies, web
beacons, pixels, and other like technologies to target advertisements based on your browsing
activities. The data collected from our site by our partners only includes your
device’s number ID. Please note, however, that our partners may use your
device’s number ID to track other personal data collected about you from other sites
and/or other devices you may use to target tailored advertising across all of your devices.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising by following the instructions at http://preferences-mgr.truste.com/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.eu if you are a resident of the
European Union.
Profiling and automated decision-making.
We do not use any fully automated decision-making processes for any of the purposes set out
in this Privacy Policy and we do not profile you based on the personal data we collect.
However, we may implement behavioral tracking in the future, without further notice, to
improve user experience.
How we respond to Do-Not-Track signals.
Some browsers have a ”do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you
do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to
browser ”do not track” signals, but we do provide you the option to opt out of
interest-based advertising. Options you select are browser- and device-specific.

personal data provided by a person under the age of 16, please notify us by email or mail.
