This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site or engage with our services related to buying and selling homes for cash or on terms.

1. Information We Collect
We collect information to facilitate real estate transactions, provide customer service, and improve our services. The types of information we collect include:
Personal Information
Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address.
Real Estate-Specific Information: Property details (e.g., address, size, condition), financial information (e.g., budget, cash offer preferences), and identification details (e.g., driver's license or social security number for transaction verification, if required).
Sensitive Personal Information (as defined under CCPA/CPRA): Financial account information for payments, precise geolocation data (if you enable location services), and racial or ethnic origin (if voluntarily provided for diversity reporting).
Non-Personal Information
Usage Data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referral sources.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to track user behavior and preferences. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
We collect this information directly from you (e.g., via contact forms or inquiries about selling your home), automatically through cookies and analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), or from third parties (e.g., real estate databases or service providers).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To process inquiries, provide cash or terms-based home buying/selling services, and complete real estate transactions.
To communicate with you about our services, including updates on property offers or negotiations.
To improve the Site, analyze trends, and personalize your experience (e.g., tailored property recommendations).
For internal operations, such as fraud prevention, legal compliance, and marketing (with your consent where required).
To comply with California laws, including real estate disclosure requirements.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or "share" (as defined under CCPA/CPRA) your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information as follows:
Service Providers: To third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as escrow agents, title companies, payment processors (e.g., for cash transactions), and marketing tools (e.g., email service providers). These parties are contractually obligated to protect your data.
Business Partners: In connection with real estate transactions, we may share details with affiliated real estate professionals, inspectors, or lenders for terms-based deals.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or government request; to protect our rights, safety, or property; or in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
With Your Consent: For any other purpose disclosed at the time of collection.
Under CCPA/CPRA, we do not "sell" or "share" personal information. In the preceding 12 months, we have not sold or shared personal information.
4. Children's Privacy
Our Site and services are not directed to children under 16 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly. California residents under 16 must have parental consent for any "sale" or "sharing" of their data (which we do not do).
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, such as encryption, access controls, and secure servers. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
