Privacy and legal

Apartmentwise does not require an account and does not store troubleshooting quiz answers in a database.

Apartmentwise uses Vercel Web Analytics to measure aggregated page views, traffic sources, device information, and general location information. Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies or associate this information with an identifiable visitor.

Apartmentwise uses Vercel Speed Insights to collect anonymous website-performance measurements, including Core Web Vitals, browser type, device type, and country. These measurements help improve site speed and usability.

Google Analytics is loaded only after a visitor chooses Allow analytics. When allowed, it uses first-party cookies and measures page visits, traffic sources, device and general location information, on-site searches, quiz starts and completions, and affiliate-link clicks. Advertising storage, advertising personalization, and Google Signals are disabled. Search terms are shortened, and obvious email addresses, phone numbers, and street addresses are replaced with a redacted marker before an event is sent. Quiz answers are not sent.

Visitors may decline analytics without losing site functionality and may change or withdraw their choice at any time through the Analytics choices link in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops future Google Analytics collection from Apartmentwise and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies for this site.

YouTube videos are not loaded automatically. If a visitor chooses to activate an embedded video, the privacy-enhanced YouTube player connects to YouTube and Google, which may receive device, network, and interaction information under their own privacy policies.

Affiliate merchants receive information according to their own privacy policies when a visitor chooses to follow an external product link.

Apartmentwise provides general educational information, not professional inspection, engineering, pest-control, legal, financial, medical, or emergency advice. Using the site does not create a professional, landlord-tenant, or advisory relationship.

Apartment conditions, leases, building rules, product instructions, and local laws vary. Renters remain responsible for evaluating their circumstances, following their lease and product labels, obtaining required permission, and contacting qualified professionals or emergency services when appropriate.

Apartmentwise works to keep its information useful and accurate but does not guarantee that every page is complete, current, or suitable for every apartment. Use of the site and reliance on its content are at the visitor's discretion.

External websites, videos, merchants, and products are operated by third parties. Apartmentwise does not control their availability, content, policies, pricing, or performance.

Some clearly identified product links are affiliate links. Apartmentwise may earn a commission from a qualifying purchase at no added cost to the visitor. See the affiliate disclosure for additional information.
