Privacy Policy
Overview
Welcome to HomesOps (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We value the trust you place in us by choosing our white-label platform to digitize and manage your home service business.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when service providers, their teams, and administrators use the HomesOps Platform — including our website, mobile applications, dashboard, APIs, and other related digital tools (collectively, the “Platform”).
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Platform immediately.
1. Purpose and Scope
This Privacy Policy governs the handling of data related to:
- Companies subscribing to HomesOps (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, or maintenance businesses).
- Employees, technicians, and administrators authorized by these companies to use the Platform.
- Any business data imported, uploaded, or shared with HomesOps in the course of providing
services.
It does not apply to end customers of your business (homeowners or tenants) using your branded app. You, as the service provider, act as the “data controller” for customer data; HomesOps acts as a “data processor” on your behalf.
2. Information We Collect
We collect and process information necessary to deliver the Platform’s features, ensure security, and enhance your operational efficiency.
2.1. Business and Account Information
When you register or subscribe to HomesOps, we collect:
- Business Details: Company name, business type, license numbers, and registered
address. - Contact Information: Primary contact name, phone number, and business email.
- Billing Information: Payment method, billing address, GST or tax ID, and transaction details.
- Login Credentials: Account usernames, passwords, and API keys for platform access.
2.2. Operational and Usage Data
When your team uses the Platform, we may collect:

2.3. Customer Data Uploaded by Providers
To enable your business operations, you may upload customer data such as names, service addresses, contact numbers, or service history.
HomesOps processes this data solely on your behalf and only as necessary to provide the contracted services — never for its own marketing or profiling purposes.
3. How We Use the Information
HomesOps uses your data to deliver, secure, and enhance the Platform, including:
- Account Setup & Administration: Creating and managing your HomesOps business account, users, and permissions.

Upon account termination, HomesOps will:

HomesOps is not responsible for the practices or content of those third parties.
