Who we are

Kristin Messerli ("we") operates nextgenhomebuyer.com and the NextGen Research reports published on it. The Built Like That quiz at builtlikethat.co has its own privacy policy. Contact: kristin@kristinmesserli.com.

What we collect

When you download a report or contact us: your email address, your first name if provided, and basic technical information such as device type and referral source.

We do not collect payment information unless you purchase a report, in which case payment is processed by our payment provider and we never see your card number.

How we use it

To deliver what you asked for; to email you research updates if you agreed; to conduct research using aggregated, de-identified data; and to improve the site.

If you opted into our research panel, we may invite you to future surveys.

What we share

We do not sell your personal information. We share aggregated, de-identified findings publicly and with research partners; nothing that identifies you.

We use service providers for hosting, email delivery, database, and payments, who process data on our behalf under their own confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information if required by law.

Your choices

Unsubscribe from any email with one click. Request access to or deletion of your personal information at kristin@kristinmesserli.com; we honor requests under applicable state privacy laws, including for California residents.

Retention

We keep personal information while your account or subscription is active and as needed for the purposes above. De-identified research data may be retained indefinitely.

Children

This site is for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes

We'll post any changes here with a new effective date.
