Personal and Non-Personal Information
Our Privacy Policy identifies how we treat your personal and non-personal information.
What is Non-Personal Information and how is it collected and used?
Non-personal information is information that cannot identify you. If you visit this website to read information, such as information about one of our services, we may collect certain non-personal information about you from your computer’s web browser. Because non-personal information cannot identify you or be tied to you in any way, there are no restrictions on the ways that we can use or share non-personal information.
What is personal information and how is it collected?
Personal information is information that identifies you as an individual, such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and fax number. We may collect personal information from you in a variety of ways:
When you send us an application or other form
When you conduct a transaction with us, our affiliates, or others
When we collect information about you in connection with a transaction, such as credit card information
In some places on this website, you have the opportunity to send us personal information about yourself, to elect to receive particular information, to purchase access to one of our products or services, or to participate in an activity.
Are cookies or other technologies used to collect personal information?
Yes, we may use cookies and related technologies, such as web beacons, to collect information on our website. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you register with us, a cookie helps Keystone Homebuyer to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same https://keystonehomebuyer.com website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.
A web beacon is a small graphic image that allows the party that set the web beacon to monitor and collect certain information about the viewer of the web page, web-based document, or email message, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to, and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or email, including HTML-based content, can act as a web beacon. We may use web beacons to count visitors to the web pages on the website or to monitor how our users navigate the website, and we may include web beacons in email messages to count how many messages sent were actually opened, acted upon, or forwarded.
Third-party vendors also may use cookies on our website. For instance, we may contract with third parties who will use cookies on our website to track and analyze anonymous usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and members. Such information is shared externally only on an anonymous, aggregated basis. These third parties use persistent cookies to help us improve the visitor experience, manage our site content, and track visitor behavior. We may also contract with a third party to send email to our registered users.
To help measure and improve the effectiveness of our email communications, the third party sets cookies. All data collected by this third party on behalf of Keystone Homebuyer is used solely by or on behalf of Keystone Homebuyer and is shared externally only on an anonymous, aggregated basis. From time to time, we may allow third parties to post advertisements on our website, and those third-party advertisements may include a cookie or web beacon served by the third party. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of information collected from you by third-party ad servers. We do not control cookies in such third-party ads, and you should check the privacy policies of those advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology before linking to an ad.
We will not share your personal information with these companies, but these companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you, and they may share your personal information that you provide to them with others.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the https://keystonehomebuyer.com website you visit.
How does Keystone Homebuyer use personal information?
Keystone Homebuyer may keep and use personal information we collect from or about you to provide you with access to this website or other products or services, to respond to your requests, to bill you for products/services you purchased, to provide ongoing service and support, to contact you with information that might be of interest to you, including information about products and services of ours and of others, or ask for your opinion about our products or the products of others, for record-keeping and analytical purposes, and to research, develop, and improve programs, products, services, and content.
Personal information collected online may be combined with information you provide to us through other sources. We may also remove your personal identifiers (your name, email address, social security number, etc.). In this case, you would no longer be identified as a single unique individual. Once we have de-identified information, it is non-personal information, and we may treat it like other non-personal information. Finally, we may use your personal information to protect our rights or property, or to protect someone’s health, safety, or welfare, and to comply with a law or regulation, court order, or other legal process.
Does Keystone Homebuyer share personal information with others?
We will not share your personal information collected from this website with an unrelated third party without your permission, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. In the ordinary course of business, we may share some personal information with companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. In all cases in which we share your personal information with a third party for the purpose of providing a service to us, we will not authorize them to keep, disclose, or use your information with others except for the purpose of providing the services we asked them to provide.
We will not sell, exchange, or publish your personal information, except in conjunction with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition. For some sorts of transactions, in addition to our direct collection of information, our third-party service vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses, and banks) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, and escrow services may collect personal information directly from you to assist you with your transaction. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use your personal information before they collect it. If you submit a review of Keystone Homebuyer, during the submission process, we ask your permission to gather your basic information (such as name and email address), which we then share with the third party for whom you are submitting the review. We may be legally compelled to release your personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law, or regulation.
We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting website visitors who violate our rules or engage in behavior that is harmful to other visitors (or illegal). We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we feel that the disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or property, protect someone’s health, safety, or welfare, or to comply with a law or regulation, court order, or other legal process. As discussed in the section on cookies and other technologies, from time to time, we may allow a third party to serve advertisements on this website.
If you share information with the advertiser, including by clicking on their ads, this Privacy Policy does not control the advertisers’ use of your personal information, and you should check the privacy policies of those advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology before linking to an ad.
How is personal information used for communication?
We may contact you periodically by email, mail, or telephone to provide information regarding programs, products, services, and content that may be of interest to you. In addition, some of the features on this website allow you to communicate with us using an online form. If your communication requests a response from us, we may send you a response via email. The email response or confirmation may include your personal information. We cannot guarantee that our emails to you will be secure from unauthorized interception.
How is personal information secured?
We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Only authorized personnel and third-party vendors have access to your personal information, and these employees and vendors are required to treat this information as confidential. Despite these precautions, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your personal information.

Data Protection Policy
Keystone Homebuyer is committed to providing a superior experience for everyone we work with. We know that our users are committed to their success, and we are equally committed to ensuring that each interaction that someone has with our content is optimized for maximum potential. To enable us to do this, Keystone Homebuyer needs to gather and use certain information about individuals.
Individuals who we gather information about include customers, affiliates, business contacts, employees, and other people the organization has a relationship with or may need to contact. This policy describes how this personal data is collected, handled, and stored to meet the company’s data protection standards — and to comply with the law.
Why This Policy Exists
This data protection policy ensures Keystone Homebuyer:
Complies with data protection law and follows industry best practices
Protects the rights of staff, customers, affiliates, and partners
Is open about how it stores and processes individuals’ data
Protects itself from the risks of a data breach
EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Protection Law
The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) protection law describes how organizations who conduct business with individuals or entities located in EU (European Union) nations — including Keystone Homebuyer — must collect, handle, and store personal information. These rules apply regardless of whether data is stored electronically, on paper, or in any other manner. To comply with the law, personal information must be collected and used fairly, stored safely, and not disclosed unlawfully.
The EU GDPR is underpinned by eight core principles. These state that personal data must:
Be processed fairly and lawfully
Be obtained only for specific, lawful purposes
Be adequate, relevant, and not excessive
Be accurate and kept up to date
Not be held for any longer than necessary
Processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects
Be protected in appropriate ways
Not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), unless that country or territory also ensures an adequate level of protection.
1. Policy Statement
Every day our business will receive, use, and store personal information about our customers, affiliates, partners, and colleagues. It is important that this information is handled lawfully and appropriately, in line with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (collectively referred to as the ‘Data Protection Requirements’). We take our data protection duties seriously because we respect the trust that is being placed in us to use personal information appropriately and responsibly.
2. About This Policy
This policy, and any other documents referred to in it, sets out the basis on which we will process any personal data that we collect or process. This policy does not form part of any employee’s contract of employment and may be amended at any time. The company as a whole is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Data Protection Requirements and with this policy. Any questions about the operation of this policy or any concerns that the policy has not been followed should be referred in the first instance to the Data Protection Officer.
3. What is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined as data (whether stored electronically or paper-based) relating to a living individual who can be identified directly or indirectly from that data (or from that data and other information in our possession). Processing is any activity that involves the use of personal data. It includes obtaining, recording, or holding the data, organizing, amending, retrieving, using, disclosing, erasing, or destroying it. Processing also includes transferring personal data to third parties under privacy control conditions. Sensitive personal data includes contact info, address, session activity on the platform, IP location, etc. Sensitive personal data can only be processed under strict conditions and used for the express purpose for which it was collected.
4. Data Protection Principles
Anyone processing personal data must ensure that data is:
Processed fairly, lawfully, and in a transparent manner.
Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes, and any further processing is completed for a compatible purpose.
Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the intended purposes.
Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.
Kept in a form that permits identification for no longer than necessary for the intended purposes.
Processed in line with the individual’s rights and in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.
Not transferred to people or organizations situated in countries without adequate protection and without first having advised the individual.
5. Fair and Lawful Processing
The Data Protection Requirements are not intended to prevent the processing of personal data but to ensure that it is done fairly and without adversely affecting the rights of the individual. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we will only process personal data where it is required for a lawful purpose. The lawful purposes include (amongst others): whether the individual has given their consent, the processing is necessary for performing a contract with the individual, for compliance with a legal obligation, or for the legitimate interest of the business. When sensitive personal data is being processed, additional conditions must be met.
Collection of Information
We collect information you provide to us, which includes: your name, email address, address or postal code, payment method, and telephone number. We collect this information in a number of ways, including manual entry while you are using our service, interacting with our customer service, participating in surveys or marketing promotions, providing reviews or ratings, setting preferences in your profile/account, or otherwise providing information to us through our service or elsewhere.

We use the information we collect to provide, analyze, administer, enhance, and personalize our services and marketing efforts, to process your registration, your orders, your payments, and your communication on these and other topics. Our primary aim is always to enhance the user experience. We do so in several ways using the data that we collect, but a few examples are: determining your general platform usage, login details, etc., which then helps us know what difficulties you’re facing within the platform, with which we can then take action to minimize the effort on your end. We collect other information, such as most visited links on our website, which then helps us conclude what content was most watched, enabling us to create additional content geared toward our users’ needs and personal preferences.
6. Processing for Limited Purposes
In the course of our business, we may collect and process personal data, which may include data that we receive directly from a data subject and data we receive from other sources, including location data, business partners, and subcontractors who work on technical, payment, and delivery services, credit reference agencies, and other capacities. We will only process personal data for the specific purposes or for any other purposes specifically permitted by the Data Protection Requirements. We will notify those purposes to the data subject when we first collect the data or as soon as possible thereafter.
7. Notifying Individuals
If we collect personal data directly from an individual, we will inform them about:
The purpose or purposes for which we intend to process that personal data, as well as the legal basis for the processing.
Where we rely upon the legitimate interests of the business to process personal data, the legitimate interests pursued.
The types of third parties, if any, with which we will share or disclose that personal data.
The fact that the business intends to transfer personal data to a non-EEA country or international organization and the appropriate and suitable safeguards in place.

Whether the provision of the personal data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract, as well as whether the individual is obliged to provide the personal data and any consequences of failure to provide the data.
The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the individual.
If we receive personal data about an individual from other sources, we will provide them with this information as soon as possible (in addition to telling them about the categories of personal data concerned) but at the latest within one (1) month. We will also inform data subjects whose personal data we process that we are the data controller with regard to that data and our contact detail regarding data protection is info@keystonehomebuyer.com.
8. Adequate, Relevant, and Non-Excessive Processing
We will only collect personal data to the extent that it is required for the specific purpose notified to the data subject.
9. Accurate Data
We will ensure that personal data we hold is accurate and kept up to date. We will check the accuracy of any personal data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or amend inaccurate or out-of-date data.
10. Timely Processing
We will not keep personal data longer than necessary for the purpose or purposes for which it was collected. We will take all reasonable steps to destroy or erase from our systems all data that is no longer required.

We will process all personal data in line with data subjects’ rights, in particular their right to:
Confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning the individual is being processed.

Request rectification, erasure, or restriction on processing of their personal data.
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Data portability.
Object to processing, including for direct marketing.
Not be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, in certain circumstances.
12. Data Security
We will take appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorized processing of personal data and against the accidental or unlawful destruction, damage, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.
We will put in place procedures and technologies to maintain the security of all personal data from the point of the determination of the means for processing and point of data collection to the point of destruction. Personal data will only be transferred to a data processor if he or she agrees to comply with those procedures and policies, or if he or she puts in place adequate measures himself/herself.
We will maintain data security by protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the personal data, defined as follows:
Confidentiality: Only people who are authorized to use the data can access it.
Integrity: Personal data should be accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed.
Availability: Authorized users should be able to access the data if they need it for authorized purposes. Personal data should therefore be stored on the Keystone Homebuyer central computer system & databases instead of individual PCs.
Our Security Procedures:
Entry controls: Any stranger seen in entry-controlled areas will be reported.
Securing lockable desks and cupboards at all times. Desks and cupboards should be kept locked if they hold confidential information of any kind. (Personal information is always considered confidential.)
Data minimization will be practiced.
Pseudonymisation and encryption of data will be the primary state of storing the data.
Methods of disposal: Paper documents will be shredded. Digital storage devices will be physically destroyed when they are no longer required. Electronic data will be deleted once its intended purpose is fulfilled.
Equipment: Staff must ensure that individual monitors do not show confidential information to passers-by and that they log off from their PC when it is left unattended.
Transferring Personal Data Outside of the EEA: We may transfer any personal data we hold to a country outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’) or to an international organization, provided that one of the following conditions applies:
The country to which the personal data is transferred ensures an adequate level of protection for the data subjects’ rights and freedoms.
The data subject has given his consent.
The transfer is necessary for one of the reasons set out in the Act, including the performance of a contract between us and the data subject, or to protect the vital interests of the data subject.
The transfer is legally required on important public interest grounds or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The transfer is authorized by the relevant data protection authority where we have adduced adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of the data subjects’ privacy, their fundamental rights and freedoms, and the exercise of their rights.
Subject to the requirements above, personal data we hold may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Those staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of contracts with the data subject, the processing of payment details, and the provision of support services.
13. Disclosure and Sharing of Personal Data
We may share personal data we hold with any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company, and its subsidiaries, as defined in: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/section/1159.
14. Subject Access Requests
Individuals must make a formal request for information we hold about them. Employees who receive a request should forward it to the data department immediately.
When receiving telephone enquiries, we will only disclose personal data we hold on our systems if the following conditions are met:
We will check the caller’s identity to make sure that information is only given to a person who is entitled to it.
We will suggest that the caller put their request in writing if we are not sure about the caller’s identity and where their identity cannot be checked.
Where a request is made electronically, data will be provided electronically when possible. Our support team will refer a request to the data processing department or the Data Protection Compliance Manager for assistance in difficult situations.
15. Changes to this Policy
We may modify this Privacy Statement at any time, but we will provide prominent advance notice of any material changes to this Statement, such as posting a notice through the Services, on our websites, or sending you an email, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes and choose whether to continue using the Services.
