Privacy policy

realrating.care is a free public information site. We collect only what is needed to operate the service and improve search.

Who we are: realrating.care publishes nursing home quality information derived from Medicare records. Contact: [email protected].

Information we collect: Usage data — pages viewed, approximate region, browser type, and referral source through privacy-friendly analytics when enabled. Cookie preferences — whether you accepted our cookie notice (stored in your browser). Messages you send — email content if you contact us for corrections or press inquiries. We do not require an account to browse facility ratings.

How we use information: We use collected data to operate and secure the website, respond to correction requests and support email, measure aggregate traffic to improve search and page performance, and comply with legal obligations.

Privacy commitments: Personal information is never sold or rented. Operator payments never influence scores or rankings. Facility data comes from public Medicare files — not private resident medical records.

Third parties: We use hosting providers and may work with analytics or advertising partners. Each receives only the minimum data needed for their service. See our Cookie Policy for details on browser storage.

Your choices: Clear cookies in your browser to reset preferences. Email us to request deletion of correspondence you sent to realrating.care. California and other state privacy rights may apply — contact us for requests.

Changes: We may update this policy when our practices change. The effective date appears at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Effective: July 2026.
