Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 1, 2026 • Last Updated: November 1, 2026
1. Introduction
Lodgeck LLC (“Company”, “Lodgeck”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines our standards and practices regarding the collection, processing, maintenance, and disclosure of information when you access our website, use our application, or order a Lodgeck Report.
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the data collection and operational practices described herein. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use our Platform or order any Lodgeck Report services.
2. Information We Collect
A. Information You Directly Provide
Account & Authentication Details: When you register, sign in, or claim an affiliate handle via Google OAuth or standard registration, we collect your name, email address, unique account handle, system identifiers, and password hash (where credentials authentication is utilized).
Payment & Transaction Details: Billing records, subscription statuses, pay-per-report credit balances, and payout information (such as your designated PayPal email address submitted when requesting affiliate commission distributions).
Direct Communications: Inquiries, feedback, and records of correspondence submitted to our support team at support@lodgeck.com.
B. Public Record Data & The Lodgeck Report
Lodgeck operates automated data aggregation systems designed to assist real estate professionals, title searchers, and property owners in examining public records.
A Lodgeck Report compiles, formats, and indexes publicly accessible county, municipal, and state government records (including property appraiser records, clerk recorded instruments, code compliance, unrecorded municipal utilities, and milestone inspection statuses).
Information contained within a Lodgeck Report is retrieved directly from official government repositories and public agency databases. It is public record data governed by applicable open-records statutes rather than private consumer personal information.
C. Information Collected Automatically
Log & Technical Device Data: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser characteristics, operating systems, referring/exit URLs, clickstream patterns, and date/time stamps.
Cookies and Session Tokens: We utilize functional and security cookies (including HTTP-only session tokens) to maintain logged-in state, protect internal application routes, protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and track affiliate referrals within an attribution window.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Generate, deliver, and archive your requested Lodgeck Report audits.
- Manage user accounts, verify identity, and maintain authenticated platform sessions.
- Administer the Lodgeck Affiliate Program, calculate commission tiers, verify ledger balances, and process requested disbursements.
- Apply account credit balances toward subscription renewals and Lodgeck Report purchases prior to invoicing fallback payment methods.
- Deliver transactional notices, operational confirmations, purchase receipts, and service alerts.
- Maintain network integrity, prevent automated scraping abuse, and comply with state and federal legal obligations.
4. Disclosure & Sharing of Information
Lodgeck LLC does not sell, rent, lease, or trade user personal information to data brokers or advertising third parties. We disclose data solely under the following operational guidelines:
- Infrastructure & Service Providers: Trusted vendors and subprocessors supporting our core infrastructure, including server hosting providers, transactional email services, payment gateways, and disbursement processors.
- Affiliate Referral Attribution: If an account is created using a public referral link, the user's handle and associated report order timestamps may be displayed pseudonymously in the referring affiliate's balance ledger to record commission attribution.
- Legal Compliance & Rights Protection: When required by subpoena, judicial process, warrant, or statutory requirement, or when necessary to protect the legal rights, safety, property, or security of Lodgeck LLC, our users, or the public.
- Corporate Restructuring: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any business merger, restructuring, asset acquisition, or transfer of Lodgeck LLC operations.
5. Data Security Standards
We implement industry-standard technical and operational safeguards, including HTTPS encryption in transit, strict cookie scoping, segmented database access controls, and hashed authentication credentials. While we maintain rigorous administrative practices to safeguard account integrity and transactional records, no internet transmission or electronic storage architecture is completely impenetrable, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
6. User Rights & Data Management
Depending on your local jurisdiction, you may possess statutory rights regarding personal account information:
- Access & Inquiries: The right to request an itemization of personal data categories maintained regarding your account.
- Correction: The right to modify or rectify inaccurate profile information, account emails, or payout addresses.
- Account Deletion: The right to request termination of your Lodgeck account and deletion of profile data, subject to necessary legal, tax, and accounting record-retention requirements.
- Cookie Management: You may clear or disable browser cookies via your browser settings, though disabling functional session cookies will prevent authenticated access to your dashboard and Lodgeck Report history.
To submit a request regarding your data, contact our administration team at support@lodgeck.com.
7. External Government Repositories
Lodgeck Reports aggregate data retrieved from independent public agency databases, municipal utilities, and county recorder systems. Lodgeck LLC exercises no direct control over public government servers, nor do we assume liability for clerical inaccuracies, missing instruments, or delays originating within government agency records.
8. Updates to This Policy
Lodgeck LLC reserves the right to modify or replace this Privacy Policy at our discretion to reflect technical updates, product evolutions, or legal amendments. Updates become effective immediately upon posting to lodgeck.comwith a revised "Last Updated" timestamp. Continued utilization of our platform or purchase of a Lodgeck Report signifies your acceptance of the revised policy.
