we take very seriously and we are committed to protecting your personal

Privacy is a HomeExchangeGOLD
forte. Personal contact information is not displayed in a listing (unless
a member chooses to do so), or made available to Web site visitors or
other members. Even other members do not know who you are.
HomeExchangeGOLD
believes strongly in protecting the privacy of our members and users.
The names and contact information you provide are not sold or given
to anyone.

has developed an advanced system for allowing total contact between
interested parties without divulging any personal information like last
names, physical addresses, telephone numbers or email address.
HomeExchangeGOLD
does not reveal a member's name, street address or email address in
a listing or make them available over the World Wide Web. Our advanced
home exchange system hides personal contact information yet makes it
possible for a visitor and potential home exchange partner to contact
a member directly from a listing at HomeExchangeGOLD .
