Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 18, 2025
Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Inspection Support LLC, a Porch.com, Inc. business (“ISN” or “we”), collects, uses, and shares personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect when inspectors or their clients access or use our websites, mobile applications, telephone service or other platforms or properties (the “Properties”), use our products and services (individually and collectively with the Properties, the “Services”) or otherwise interact with us. This Privacy Policy also applies to personal information we collect from other sources, including ISN’s parent company, Porch.com, Inc., and its subsidiaries (each, a “Porch Group Company”).
By “personal information,” we mean information that uniquely identifies an individual, such as an inspector’s, or the inspector’s client’s, name, email address, or government-issued identification number (such as a driver’s license number or social security number); unique financial information, such as a credit card number; and information that we link to an individual’s unique identifier(s) or unique financial information. If information is de-linked or de-identified, we do not consider it to be personal information. For example, a postal address would not be personal information if it were included in a list of addresses without names or other unique identifiers. Business information (such as the name of a business or the business address or phone number) is not personal information.
References to ISN also include companies providing services to ISN, the Porch Group Companies, and our business partners, to the extent that such parties are collecting, using, or sharing personal information for or on behalf of ISN. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by those companies only when they provide such information to ISN.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify users of the Properties (“Users”) by posting the updated Privacy Policy on our website and updating the effective date at the top of this Privacy Policy and, in some cases, we may provide Users with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our website’s homepage or sending a notification).
If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not continue using the Services.
Information We Collect
Information Users Give to Us
We collect information that inspectors and their account users provide directly to us. For example, we collect an inspector’s name, email address and other information when an inspector opens an account; makes a purchase; requests customer support; leaves a review about their experiences with ISN or otherwise upload, link or provide content that includes personal information; or subscribes to our promotional marketing programs. We collect information about inspectors’ clients in connection with the services provided to them through our platform. For example, when an inspector submits an inspection report for the inspector’s client, we collect property data from the inspection report.
Information We Collect Automatically
When a User accesses or uses the Services or when we send a User emails, we and our advertisers may use tracking technologies to automatically collect information about the inspector. Please see our Cookie Policy to learn more about these technologies, how we use them, and how to manage or disable them. Automatically collected information may be associated with the inspector’s unique browser, device identifier or Internet Protocol (IP) address, but we do not consider it to be personal information unless it is linked to a User’s unique identifier(s).
Automatically collected information includes:
- Log Information. We log information such as IP address, access times, operating system, browser type and language, Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the web page you visited before navigating to our Services.
- Usage and Session Information. We collect usage information, such as how many visitors visit a specific page, how long they stay, which links they click on, and how, when and how often they order particular services, and session information, such as mouse actions, pages visited, screen actions and other interaction patterns.
- Device Information. We collect information about the computer or mobile device used to access our Services, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers and mobile network information.
- Location Data. If a User is using mobile Services, we may collect location data directly from the mobile device if allowed to do so. In addition, the User’s IP address may provide an approximate geo-location.
- Transaction Information. When an inspector purchases a service, we collect information about the transaction, such as the date and location of the purchase.
- Emails. When an inspector receives emails from us, we collect information about whether and when the inspector opened the email, whether the inspector clicked on the images and links in the email, and whether the computer or mobile device is capable of receiving HTML-based email.
Information Collected from Calls
When an inspector calls us, or we call them, we may monitor and/or record those calls for quality assurance and customer satisfaction purposes. In those jurisdictions where consent is required for a party to record a telephone call, inspector consents to us recording such calls. We treat the records of these calls, when linked to an inspector’s unique identifier(s), as personal information.
Information We Collect from Porch Group Companies and Third Parties
The Porch Group Companies provide ISN with information they collect from their customers and business partners. For example, a Porch Group Company may share customer information with ISN for system configuration purposes.
ISN also obtains personal information from other sources such as third party data providers and public sources. ISN may match the personal information provided directly to us by an inspector (for example, an email address) with information obtained from other sources (such as a name, telephone number, and mailing address).
Aggregate and Anonymized Information
We may also aggregate (group) or de-link/de-identify (anonymize) information. Aggregated, anonymized data is not personal information subject to this Privacy Policy, and we may use it to analyze usage of the Services or for any other purpose. We may also share aggregated and/or anonymized information with Porch Group Companies and our and their business partners. For example, based on the information we have obtained from and about individuals, we may compile a list of addresses that we believe are associated with an individual moving to a new address and provide that list (without any unique identifiers for the individuals) to our business partners.
Categories of Personal Information Collected
In the last 12 months, ISN has collected the following categories of personal information from the categories of sources described above. We consider this information to be personal information to the extent that it is information that uniquely identifies a User, is unique financial information, or is linked to a User’s unique identifier(s), or if it is defined as personal information by applicable state law.

How We Share Information
Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell or rent personal information to any third party. If we share personal information, we do so only as follows:
Porch Group Companies
If you are an inspector, you can opt out of sharing your clients’ personal information with the Porch Group Companies for the purpose of receiving marketing calls by submitting a request to disable Porch Gold or Evergreen in the Office Settings section of your ISN account.
We share inspectors’ and their clients’ information, including inspection reports, with the Porch Group Companies for marketing purposes, to allow them to improve their products and services (such as confirming or supplementing information they have about a person or to classify a person as a mover), in connection with the data, technical, legal, accounting, and other services shared between the Porch Group Companies, and for other internal business purposes. The Porch Group Companies will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy with respect to personal information received from ISN and will use that personal information only as described in this Privacy Policy.
ISN Partners
We share business information (and any personal information included in it) with selected companies with whom we partner (“ISN Partners”) for the purpose of offering an expanded range of business services to support, facilitate and augment home inspection-related services. ISN Partners with whom we may share this information include the companies listed on our Partner Page of our Services. ISN Partners will use personal information in accordance with their respective privacy policies, which we encourage Users to review if Users have questions regarding how they will handle personal information provided by ISN.
ISN Partners are not allowed to use personal information received from ISN in a manner prohibited under this Privacy Policy.
Companies Providing Services to ISN
We share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers that are providing business services to ISN. For instance, we may share information about inspectors or their clients with a third-party service provider that hosts the Properties, provides call center or other customer service, creates reports or other products ordered by you or your clients, sends out emails, serves ads to you on the Properties or on a third-party platform, or monitors or analyzes Services data. Such companies will have access to personal information only as necessary to carry out their work and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.
User-Directed Disclosures
We share an inspector’s personal information when directed to do something that requires its disclosure or when an inspector otherwise provides consent. For example, if an inspector requests a repair estimate report on behalf of the inspector’s client, we will provide the inspection report (including the client’s personal information) to the company that prepares the report.
Companies with Whom There is an Existing Relationship
If an individual, such as inspector’s client, is already a customer of or otherwise has a direct relationship with a business partner of ISN or a Porch Group Company (an “Existing Relationship Company”), we or the Porch Group Company may disclose certain of information about that person to that Existing Relationship Company. If the person is a match to a customer on the Existing Relationship Company customer list, we may provide the Existing Relationship Company with information such as the groups or segments the person belongs to (such as mover or homeowner) and demographic information about the person and his or her home (such as estimated household income and square footage), so that the Existing Relationship Company can provide with more relevant advertising, products and services. We will not give the Existing Relationship Company any contact information, unique personal identifiers, or unique financial information unless for another purpose permitted in this Privacy Policy. However, the Existing Relationship Company may already have some or all of that information (because of its existing relationship with the person) and they will be able to link the person with the other information about him or her that we provide to them.
Contests and Sweepstakes
When a User signs up for and participate in a contest or sweepstakes, we may publicly disclose the name, city and state of winners.
Compliance with Laws and Policies; Protection of Rights
We may disclose an inspector’s personal information if we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or legal process, to cooperate with government or law enforcement, or to avoid legal liability; to resolve complaints or disputes; to investigate and resolve technical issues, security incidents, fraud, abuse, and illegal activities; if we believe an inspector’s actions are inconsistent with the spirit or language of our user agreements or policies; or to protect the rights, reputation, safety and property of ISN or others.
Strategic Transactions
We may disclose personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business or in a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction. In the event that we or all of our assets are acquired in such a transaction, our collected information would be one of the transferred assets.
