How this site handles your information

Ontario Rent to Own Homes Directory is an independent directory of rent to own home businesses in Ontario, published by Ontario Rent to Own Homes. This page explains what information the site collects when you use it, where that information goes, and how to reach us about it.

Information this site collects

We collect personal information only when you submit a form. A submission includes your name, email address, phone number, message, and any answers about the service or timing you selected. It also includes the page URL you were on and how you arrived at the site (the referrer and any UTM parameters), which we use to understand where enquiries come from.

Where form submissions go

Form submissions are processed by our lead-capture processor and delivered to the business you enquired about and to the operator of this site. If you asked a specific rent to own home business for a quote, that business receives your details so it can respond.

Cookies and local storage

The site uses sessionStorage in your browser to remember how you arrived (referrer, landing page, UTM parameters) so that an enquiry sent later in your visit carries the right source. It is first-party and session-scoped, not a tracking cookie; it is gone when your browser session ends and is never shared across sites.

Analytics

Where analytics is enabled on this site, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager may set cookies to help us understand which pages visitors use. Google’s own privacy policy applies to that data.

Third-party services

Loading a page here can involve requests to a small set of third parties, each of which sees standard request data such as your IP address: Google Fonts (typefaces), OpenStreetMap (map tiles), and, when enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile (form spam protection). Their own privacy policies apply to those requests.

Information about listed businesses

Listings are built from public sources such as Google Business Profile reviews. What we keep is derived analysis: scores, summaries, and sentiment, never the raw review text itself. Businesses that want a listing corrected or removed can follow the listing policy.

Access, deletion, and retention

We keep enquiry details for as long as they are needed to route and follow up your enquiry. To ask what we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted, contact the publisher contact details on the about page.
