Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Correction requests: your email (required), and optionally your name and a source link. Used only to review and follow up on your request. To block spam, the form runs Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot check that processes technical details from your browser such as your IP address; we store only a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address to limit repeat submissions.
• Reviews: your name, email, the city and month of your sale, and what you write. We never publish your name: reviews appear as from a verified seller. Your name, your email, and any documents you share to verify the sale, are never published and are used only to verify reviews and calculate anonymous group statistics.
• Review invitations: a verified business can give us the email addresses of people who sold a house to (or worked with) it, so we can send each person one invitation to review the business. We store the email address to send that one invitation, to show the business a masked version (like j•••e@example.com) and whether a review was submitted, and to make sure the same business never invites the same address twice. We never share the address with anyone else or use it for anything else. Every invitation has an opt-out link: opting out stops all future invitations from any company, permanently. To honor it, we keep a scrambled (hashed) version of your address on our opt-out list rather than the address itself. Reviews written from an invitation are labeled “Invited by the business”.
• Profile claim requests: your name, role, email, and optionally your phone number and a message. Used only to verify that you represent the company and to contact you about your profile.
• Contract checker: the contract you upload, photograph, or paste is sent to an AI model through our AI provider (Vercel AI Gateway) to produce your report, then discarded. We don't save the contract or the names, addresses, or amounts in it, and it's processed with zero data retention: the AI provider doesn't store it and isn't allowed to use it to train models. We keep an anonymous record of each check (a one-day code derived from your IP address for rate limiting, the property's state, which red flags came up, and which company profiles on our site matched the buyer) to prevent abuse and improve the checker.
• Basic site analytics: pages viewed, approximate location, and page speed, using Vercel Web Analytics, which doesn't use cookies or advertising trackers.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your personal information.
• We don't share your contact details with the companies we cover unless you ask us to.
• We don't publish your email, phone number, or address.

Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete information you've submitted using our privacy request form. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know and the right to delete.

Retention

We keep correction requests and profile claim requests for as long as needed to resolve them and keep a record of changes. Reviews are kept while they are published or under verification. Verification documents are deleted after verification. Review invitation records are kept so a business can't invite the same person twice; you can ask us to delete yours at any time, and opt-outs are kept permanently.
