We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to legal process or lawful government requests, investigate fraud, protect rights or property, protect another person’s safety, protect our systems, enforce agreements, or establish or defend legal claims.
12. California Online Privacy Protection Act
The California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) applies to operators of commercial websites and online services that collect personally identifiable information from California consumers.
This Policy is intended to describe:
- The categories of information we collect;
- How we use information;
- Categories of persons to whom information may be disclosed;
- Our privacy-request procedures;
- Our practices concerning tracking technologies;
- The effective date of this Policy; and
- How changes will be communicated.
13. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals
Some browsers transmit a traditional “Do Not Track” signal.
Because there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting legacy Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to them in a standardized manner.
Where California’s Consumer Privacy Act or another applicable law requires us to recognize a valid opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control, we will process that signal as legally required.
14. California Consumer Privacy Act
California’s Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), grants California residents specified privacy rights where a business is subject to the statute.
As of October 7, 2026, the CCPA generally applies to a qualifying for-profit business doing business in California that determines the purposes and means of processing personal information and meets at least one statutory threshold, including:
- Annual gross revenue above the currently adjusted statutory revenue threshold;
- Buying, selling, or sharing personal information of at least 100,000 California consumers or households; or
- Deriving at least 50% of annual revenue from selling or sharing California consumers’ personal information.
The current adjusted annual-revenue threshold is $26,625,000.
The inclusion of this section does not mean that I Buy Houses With Fire Damage San Jose necessarily satisfies a CCPA applicability threshold.
15. California Privacy Rights
Where the CCPA applies, qualifying California residents may have rights to:
Know and Access
Request information concerning categories and specific pieces of qualifying personal information.
Correct
Request correction of inaccurate qualifying personal information.
Delete
Request deletion of qualifying personal information, subject to statutory exceptions.
Opt Out of Sale or Sharing
Direct a covered business not to sell or share qualifying personal information.
Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information
Limit qualifying uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information where the statutory right applies.
Non-Discrimination
Receive no unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising CCPA rights.
16. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
Under California law, “sale” and “sharing” have specialized meanings.
Depending on the circumstances, providing personal information to an independent third party for monetary or other valuable consideration may constitute a sale.
Disclosure for qualifying cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute sharing.
Certain disclosures are excluded, including qualifying service-provider, contractor, consumer-directed, and business-transfer disclosures.
Where the CCPA applies and we engage in qualifying sale or sharing, we will provide legally required opt-out methods.
17. Global Privacy Control
Where the CCPA applies, a valid opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control will be treated as a request to opt out of qualifying sale or sharing as required by California law.
18. Notice at Collection
Where the CCPA applies, we will provide legally required notice at or before the point of collection concerning applicable categories of personal information, processing purposes, retention practices, and whether qualifying information is sold or shared.
19. California Privacy Requests
Where required, we will provide methods for submitting qualifying requests to know, access, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, and limit qualifying uses of sensitive personal information.
We may authenticate or verify requests as permitted by law.
Consumers will not be required to create an account solely to exercise CCPA rights.
20. Response Timing
Where the CCPA applies, qualifying requests to know, delete, or correct generally will receive a substantive response within 45 days, subject to legally permitted extensions.
Opt-out requests will be processed within the period required by applicable regulations.
21. Authorized Agents
California residents may use authorized agents to submit certain requests.
We may verify the consumer’s identity and the agent’s authority to the extent permitted by law.
22. Sensitive Personal Information
Sensitive personal information may include qualifying government identifiers, financial-account credentials, precise geolocation, private communications, genetic data, biometric identifiers, health information, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, union membership, and information concerning sex life or sexual orientation.
Our ordinary property-offer forms are not intended to collect unnecessary highly sensitive information.
Please do not submit unnecessary Social Security numbers, banking passwords, payment-card credentials, medical records, or similar information through ordinary forms.
23. CCPA Risk Assessments, Cybersecurity Audits, and Automated Decisionmaking
California’s updated CCPA regulations became effective January 1, 2026.
Where applicable, covered businesses engaging in specified higher-risk processing may be required to conduct privacy risk assessments.
Certain businesses also will be subject to phased cybersecurity-audit requirements.
Additional requirements concerning qualifying automated decisionmaking systems take effect according to the schedules established by California regulation.
If these rules apply to our operations, we will comply with them.
24. California Data Broker Requirements
California separately regulates qualifying data brokers.
A data broker generally is a qualifying business that knowingly collects and sells personal information about consumers with whom it lacks a direct relationship.
A homeowner who directly submits property information through this Website ordinarily establishes a direct relationship with us.
If our broader operations independently meet California’s definition of a data broker, we will comply with applicable registration, disclosure, Delete Act, DROP, and deletion-request obligations.
25. California Shine the Light
If California Civil Code section 1798.83 applies and we disclose qualifying personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, qualifying California residents may request information concerning those disclosures as provided by law.
26. Telephone Communications
If you provide a telephone number, we may use it to respond to your inquiry and communicate concerning your property, research, scheduling, inspections, offers, follow-up, potential transactions, and related services.
Where federal or California law requires additional consent before regulated automated, prerecorded, artificial-voice, or marketing communications are made, legally required consent will be obtained.
You may request that calls stop.
27. California Call Recording
California generally prohibits intentionally recording a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.
Accordingly, if we record a confidential communication involving a person in California, our operational practice should provide clear recording notice and obtain legally sufficient consent from all participants before recording.
We or providers acting on our behalf may record communications for legitimate purposes including quality assurance, training, documentation, compliance, fraud prevention, and security.
Where another applicable jurisdiction imposes a stricter requirement, the stricter requirement will be followed.
28. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning your inquiry, property, scheduling, inspections, offers, follow-up, and potential transactions.
Where legally required, separate or additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing messages are sent.
Consent to marketing is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited by law.
Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
29. Email Communications
We may use your email address to respond to inquiries, communicate regarding your property, provide potential-offer information, schedule calls or visits, follow up concerning a transaction, and send marketing communications where permitted.
Applicable promotional emails will provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
30. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
Relevant factors may include whether an inquiry remains active, whether a property remains of acquisition interest, whether a transaction occurred, potential follow-up, contractual requirements, legal and regulatory obligations, accounting and tax requirements, fraud prevention, litigation, insurance matters, and legitimate business recordkeeping.
Where the CCPA applies, retention practices will also comply with applicable purpose-limitation and data-minimization requirements.
31. Information Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, acquisition, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, and destruction.
No electronic storage or Internet transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
32. California Security Breaches
Where California’s security-breach laws apply, we will investigate suspected unauthorized access to qualifying personal information and provide legally required notices to affected California residents and regulators.
Nothing in this Policy limits a consumer’s non-waivable rights concerning qualifying security incidents.
33. Children
The Website is intended for adults involved in real estate matters.
It is not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 through ordinary property-offer forms.
34. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may link to third-party websites or services.
We do not control third-party privacy practices, security, content, products, services, availability, or conduct.
35. Information About Other People
If you provide information concerning another property owner, co-owner, heir, family member, executor, administrator, trustee, tenant, agent, or other person, you represent that you have authority or another lawful basis to provide that information.
36. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically.
When changes are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date.
Where California law requires additional notice or consent concerning a material change, we will provide it.
