Privacy Policy
We built Common Ladder to help people, not to collect data about them. Here's what we do and don't do.
What we collect
Almost nothing. Common Ladder does not require an account to use any part of the site. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any identifying information from people browsing the site.
We use Google Analytics to count page views and general location at the city level. We also count taps on the phone numbers listed on our pages — which number was tapped and on which page, never who tapped it or what was said on the call. We look at these numbers only in aggregate, to learn which listings actually connect people to help, and we do not try to identify anyone.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (named _ga) so it can tell a repeat visit from a new one. We do not use advertising cookies, and these cookies are not shared with other websites. You can block cookies in your browser settings. Our tools save your answers in your own browser’s storage, not in a cookie and not on our servers.
Third-party services
Common Ladder is hosted on GitHub Pages. Our CoC Finder and related tools use publicly available HUD and government data sources. We do not share any data with advertisers, data brokers, or third-party marketing platforms. We do not monetize this site or its users.
Children
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The site is designed as a public resource and does not include features that collect personal information from any user.
Your rights
Because we collect no personal data, there is nothing to request, correct, or delete. If you have previously emailed us and would like that correspondence removed, contact corrections.commonladder@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.
