3. Google Analytics
ProTenant.org uses or may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, approximate geographic location, browser and device characteristics, engagement activity, and traffic sources.

You may also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, where supported.
4. Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to monitor how ProTenant.org appears and performs in Google Search.
Search Console provides information about search queries, impressions, clicks, indexing, and technical website performance.
We use this information to improve website accessibility, identify technical problems, and better understand which housing subjects readers are searching for.
Search Console reports generally provide aggregated search performance information rather than identifying individual visitors.
5. Cloudflare
ProTenant.org uses Cloudflare for domain management and may use Cloudflare services for website security, performance, and traffic protection.
Depending on which Cloudflare services are enabled, Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request information, and security-related data.
Such information may be used to help identify malicious activity, protect website availability, and support network performance.
For more information, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
ProTenant.org and its third-party service providers may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored by a browser that help websites remember settings, measure activity, and provide certain features.
Depending on the services enabled, cookies may be used for:
Essential website functionality.
Security and protection against abuse.
Analytics and traffic measurement.
Saving visitor preferences.
Affiliate referral tracking.
Advertising, if advertising services are introduced.
Some cookies are placed by third-party services rather than directly by ProTenant.org.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website features.
Where required by applicable law, additional consent or privacy controls may be provided.
7. Amazon Associates and Affiliate Links
ProTenant.org may participate in the Amazon Associates Program and may include affiliate links in selected articles or resource recommendations.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
If you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may use cookies or other tracking technologies to identify the referral and determine whether a qualifying purchase occurred.
We may receive a commission from eligible purchases without increasing the price you pay.
Amazon independently processes information associated with its website, purchases, and services.
ProTenant.org does not receive your complete payment-card information or Amazon account credentials.
For additional information, please review the Amazon Privacy Notice.
Articles containing affiliate links will include appropriate disclosures so readers can identify commercial relationships.
Affiliate relationships do not change the purpose of ProTenant.org as an independent housing news and information publication.

ProTenant.org does not currently display Google AdSense advertising.
We may apply for and introduce Google AdSense or other advertising services in the future to help support the cost of operating this publication.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to correspondence, maintaining appropriate records, addressing security concerns, and meeting legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and the service involved.
Third-party providers may apply their own retention schedules.
We take reasonable steps to protect information under our control. However, no website, email service, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
