13. California Online Privacy Protection Act
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) applies to operators of commercial websites or online services that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers.
This Policy describes our collection, use, disclosure, tracking, request, and update practices.
14. California Consumer Privacy Act
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), applies to qualifying businesses that satisfy statutory applicability requirements.
As of October 9, 2026, applicability can include a qualifying for-profit business that:
- Has annual gross revenue of at least the current adjusted threshold;
- Buys, sells, or shares personal information of at least 100,000 California consumers or households; or
- Derives at least 50% of annual revenue from selling or sharing California consumers’ personal information.
The current adjusted annual gross-revenue threshold is $26,625,000.
Including this section does not mean that we necessarily meet a CCPA threshold.
15. California Privacy Rights
Where the CCPA applies, qualifying California residents may have rights to:
- Know categories of personal information collected;
- Access qualifying personal information;
- Request correction;
- Request deletion;
- Request information about categories of sources and recipients;
- Opt out of qualifying sale or sharing;
- Limit certain qualifying uses of sensitive personal information; and
- Receive nondiscriminatory treatment for exercising rights.
16. Sale and Sharing Under California Law
“Sale” and “sharing” have specialized meanings under the CCPA.
A qualifying disclosure for monetary or other valuable consideration may constitute a sale.
Disclosure for qualifying cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute sharing.
Other disclosures—including certain service-provider, contractor, consumer-directed, and business-transfer disclosures—may be excluded.
Where required, we will provide legally required opt-out mechanisms.
17. Global Privacy Control
Where the CCPA applies, we will process a valid opt-out preference signal, including Global Privacy Control, as required by California law.
18. Notice at Collection
Where required by the CCPA, we will provide a notice at or before collection identifying applicable:
- Categories of personal information;
- Processing purposes;
- Retention criteria or periods;
- Sale or sharing practices; and
- Consumer rights.
19. California Privacy Requests
Where required, we will provide appropriate methods to submit requests to:
- Know;
- Access;
- Correct;
- Delete;
- Opt out of sale or sharing; and
- Limit qualifying use of sensitive personal information.
We may verify requests as permitted by law.
20. Response Timing
Where the CCPA applies, qualifying access, correction, and deletion requests generally will receive a substantive response within 45 days, subject to legally permitted extensions.
Opt-out requests will be processed in the timeframe required by applicable regulations.
21. Authorized Agents
California residents may use authorized agents where permitted by law.
We may verify:
- The consumer’s identity; and
- The agent’s authority.
22. Sensitive Personal Information
Our ordinary property forms are not designed to collect unnecessary highly sensitive information.
Please do not submit unnecessary:
- Social Security numbers;
- Banking credentials;
- Payment-card security codes;
- Medical records;
- Genetic information;
- Biometric identifiers;
- Precise geolocation beyond what is necessary for the property; or

23. 2026 California Privacy Regulations
California’s updated CCPA regulations became effective January 1, 2026.
Where applicable, they impose additional requirements concerning matters including:
- Privacy risk assessments;
- Cybersecurity audits;
- Data minimization;
- Consumer disclosures; and
- Qualifying automated decisionmaking technology.
We will comply with applicable requirements where our operations fall within their scope.
24. Data Brokers
California separately regulates qualifying data brokers.
A homeowner who directly submits information through the Website ordinarily establishes a direct relationship with us.
If our broader operations independently satisfy California’s data-broker definition, we will comply with applicable registration, disclosure, Delete Act, DROP, and deletion obligations.
25. Do Not Track
Some browsers send legacy Do Not Track signals.
The Website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track signals in a standardized manner.
This does not affect legally required handling of valid opt-out preference signals under the CCPA.
26. Telephone Communications
If you provide a telephone number, we may use it to communicate regarding:
- Your inquiry;
- Property evaluation;
- Scheduling;
- Offers;
- Due diligence;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where legally required, additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated, prerecorded, artificial-voice, or marketing calls are made.
27. California Call Recording
California generally prohibits intentionally recording a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.
Accordingly, confidential acquisition or property-related calls should not be silently recorded.
Where calls are recorded, clear recording notice and legally sufficient consent should be obtained.
28. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text regarding:
- Your inquiry;
- Property;
- Scheduling;
- Evaluations;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Consent to marketing is not a condition of receiving a property evaluation or offer where prohibited by law.

Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
29. Email Communications
We may use your email address for:
- Inquiry responses;
- Property communications;

Applicable marketing emails will contain an unsubscribe method.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary based on factors such as:
- Whether an inquiry remains active;
- Whether property remains of interest;
- Whether a transaction occurred;
- Potential follow-up;
- Contractual obligations;
- Tax and accounting requirements;
- Legal obligations;
- Fraud prevention;
- Litigation;
- Insurance matters; and
- Legitimate business recordkeeping.
31. Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized:
- Access;
- Acquisition;
- Use;
- Disclosure;
- Alteration;
- Loss; and
- Destruction.
No electronic system is completely secure.
32. Security Breaches
Where California’s security-breach laws apply, we will investigate qualifying incidents and provide legally required notices to affected individuals and authorities.
Nothing in this Policy limits non-waivable rights concerning qualifying security incidents.
33. Children
The Website is intended for adults involved in real estate matters.
It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through ordinary property forms.

We do not control their privacy, security, content, products, services, or conduct.

The “Last Updated” date will identify the current version.
