Home Media, LLC

Neighborhood Alerts, a service operated by Home Media, LLC, provides homeowners with free email and SMS updates about local happenings. These alerts cover a range of events, including changes in home values, local crime, registered offender movements, real estate listings, and building permits. While presented as a community information service, the company's business model explicitly relies on selling the customer information it collects to other businesses for marketing and advertising purposes. This practice exposes sensitive personal data, such as your address and inferred interests, to third parties, increasing the risk of targeted spam, fraud, and other unwanted solicitations. The aggregation of such localized data could also be misused by malicious actors to identify potential targets. To safeguard your privacy, it is wise to limit the personal information you share with such services and to actively seek out and use their privacy options to opt out of data sharing.
