Please do not include names or health information of clients, patients, or caregivers in your submission.

We will not publish your name, company, story, or files in The Home Care Brief without your approval first.

Contact form

When you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, company (if provided), reason for contacting us, and your message.

How information is stored

Feature applications, uploaded files, and contact messages are stored in a secured database and private file storage. Uploaded files are not publicly accessible. Only signed-in administrators of The Home Care Brief can view submissions and uploaded materials.

This website is hosted by a third party service provider that also stores submissions on our behalf. These providers process information only to run the site and do not use it for their own purposes.

To help prevent spam and abuse, we record a one-way scrambled version of the network address a submission comes from. It is used only to limit repeated submissions.

How information is used

• To review feature applications and decide whether to include them in an issue
• To contact you about your submission or message, if you have given permission
• To respond to questions and partnership inquiries

We do not sell the information you submit through this website.

How long we keep information

We keep feature applications, files, and contact messages for as long as needed to review and respond to them, up to 12 months, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

Cookies and analytics

This website does not use advertising cookies. Basic, technically necessary storage may be used in your browser for administrator sign-in. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy.

Third-party links

This website links to Beehiiv and other external sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Who this website is for

This website is intended for adults and professionals in the home care industry and is not directed to children.

Requesting removal of your information

To ask what information we hold about you, or to request that your feature application, uploaded files, or messages be deleted, please reach out through our contact form. To unsubscribe from the newsletter, use the unsubscribe link in any issue.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the website changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
