Effective Date: January 14, 2022

At Thomas Rhett Home Team (“Home Team,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), we take protecting your privacy seriously. In order for our websites, applications, and any corresponding service to function, we need to collect some of your information. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains the information we collect about you, how we use it and share it, and your privacy rights. This Policy applies to the personal information we collected from you when you visit our website located at hometeam.thomasrhett.com or any other websites, pages, features, or content we own or operate (collectively, the “Site(s)”), install and use our Home Team mobile application (“App”), use or participate in our online or offline services, or purchasing products from us (collectively, our “Service” or “Services”).

Please read this entire Policy to make sure you fully understand it. You should also be sure to carefully review other Terms applicable to your use of our Services. By accessing and using our Services, you understand and agree that collection and use of your personal information will be made in accordance with this Privacy Policy and you agree to our Terms of Use. If you do not agree with or you are not comfortable with any part of this Policy, please immediately discontinue access or use of our Services.

We may change this Policy from time to time. If we make a change to this Policy that we believe materially affects how we process your personal information or reduce your rights, we will provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a communication). We may also provide “just-in-time” disclosure or additional information about our data collection, use and sharing practices of specific Services. These notices may supplement or clarify Home Team’s privacy practices or may provide you with additional choices about how we process your personal information.

1.     Personal Information We Collect

We collect certain personal information about you and your use of our Services. Personal information is generally any information that identifies you or makes you identifiable. The personal information collected falls into three primary categories: (a) information you voluntarily provide us, (b) information we collect from you automatically, and (b) information we receive from third parties. 

Information You Voluntarily Provide. We, or our service providers that assist us in providing, maintaining, and operating our Services, may collect the following types of personal information from you:

If you choose to interact with us through a third-party social network (e.g., Instagram), we may collect personal information from your profile on the social network, like your username and any other personal information you make publicly available. Please be aware that any information you submit or post to a social media site, such as Instagram, is done at your own risk and without any expectation of privacy. We cannot control the actions of social media site users and are not responsible for any content or submissions contained on such sites.

Information We Automatically Collect. To the extent permitted under the applicable law, we may collect certain types of information automatically, such as whenever you interact with the Sites or use the Services. This information helps us address customer support issues, improve the performance of our Sites and Services, provide you with a streamlined and personalized experience, and protect your account from fraud by detecting unauthorized access.

We, and third parties on our behalf, use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect technical data and log information. Please read our Cookie Policy for more information.

4.     Third-Party Sites and Services

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites. The third parties you interact with may have their own privacy policies, and Home Team is not responsible for their collection and use of data. We encourage you to check the applicable third-party privacy policy and terms of use when visiting or using any third-party services.

5.     How We Protect Your Personal Information

The security of your personal information is important to us and we take reasonable precautions to protect it. However, since the internet is not a completely secure environment, we cannot ensure the security of information during its transmission between you and us. Accordingly, you acknowledge that when you transmit such information, you do so at your own risk and in accordance with applicable law.

6.     How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We will retain your personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless applicable law prescribes a specific retention period. We will retain and use information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our rights. We will cease to retain your personal information, or remove the means by which the data can be associated with you, as soon as it is reasonable to assume that such retention no longer serves the purpose for which the personal information was collected, and is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes.
