California law requires operators of qualifying commercial websites and online services collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to maintain an online privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy is intended to explain our collection, use, disclosure, online tracking, privacy-request, and policy-update practices.

13. California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), provides specified privacy rights where a business is subject to that law.

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 satisfies at least one applicable threshold, including:

• More than $26,625,000 in annual gross revenue for the preceding calendar year;
• Buying, selling, or sharing personal information of 100,000 or more California consumers or households; or
• Deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling or sharing California consumers’ personal information.

The inclusion of this section does not represent that I Buy Houses With Fire Damage Fresno necessarily satisfies a CCPA applicability threshold.

Where the CCPA applies, we will comply with applicable requirements.

14. California Privacy Rights

Where the CCPA applies, qualifying California residents may have the right to:

Know and Access

Request information concerning categories and specific pieces of qualifying personal information collected about them.

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 use and disclosure of sensitive personal information where the statutory right applies.

Non-Discrimination

Not receive unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.

15. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Under California law, “sale” and “sharing” have specialized definitions.

Depending on the circumstances:

• Providing personal information to an independent third party for monetary or other valuable consideration may constitute a sale; and
• Disclosure for qualifying cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute sharing.

Certain disclosures are excluded by statute, including qualifying disclosures to:

• Service providers;
• Contractors;
• Parties specifically directed by the consumer;
• Affiliates in qualifying circumstances; and
• Parties to qualifying business transfers.

Where the CCPA applies and we engage in qualifying sale or sharing, we will provide required opt-out methods.

16. Global Privacy Control

Where the CCPA applies, a valid opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control will be processed as required by California law.

17. Notice at Collection

Where required by the CCPA, we will provide notice at or before the point of collection concerning applicable:

• Categories of personal information;
• Purposes of collection and processing;
• Retention periods or criteria;
• Sale or sharing practices; and
• Consumer rights.

18. California Privacy Request Procedures

Where required, we will provide methods for submitting qualifying requests to:

• Know;
• Access;
• Correct;
• Delete;
• Opt out of sale or sharing; and
• Limit qualifying use or disclosure of sensitive personal information.

We may authenticate or verify requests as permitted by law.

A consumer will not be required to create an account solely to exercise a CCPA right.

19. 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 handled within the timeframe required by applicable California regulations.

20. Authorized Agents

California residents may use an authorized agent to submit certain privacy requests.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify:

where permitted by law.

21. Sensitive Personal Information

California defines certain information as sensitive personal information.

Examples can include qualifying:

• Genetic information;
• Biometric identifiers used for identification;

22. Risk Assessments, Cybersecurity Audits, and Automated Decisionmaking

California privacy regulations effective January 1, 2026 impose additional obligations on specified covered businesses.

Depending on a business’s processing activities, obligations may include:

• Privacy risk assessments;
• Cybersecurity audits under phased compliance schedules; and
• Consumer rights concerning qualifying automated decisionmaking technology.

Where those requirements apply to our operations, we will comply with them.

California separately regulates qualifying data brokers.

• Privacy disclosures;
• Delete Act requirements;
• DROP requirements; and

Beginning August 1, 2026, covered California data brokers are required to retrieve and process qualifying deletion requests through California’s Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform as required by law.

24. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers transmit a legacy “Do Not Track” signal.

Because no uniform standard exists for interpreting traditional Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to those signals in a standardized manner.

This is separate from any legally recognized opt-out preference signal we are required to honor.

25. Telephone Communications

If you provide a telephone number, we may use it to communicate concerning:

• Your property;
• 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.

26. California Call Recording

California generally prohibits intentionally recording a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.

Accordingly, where we record a confidential call or communication involving a California participant, our operational procedures should:

• Clearly disclose that recording will or may occur; and
• Obtain legally sufficient consent from all participants before recording.

We or service providers acting on our behalf may record communications for legitimate purposes including:

• Quality assurance;
• Training;
• Documentation;
• Compliance;
• Fraud prevention; and
• Security.

Where another jurisdiction imposes a stricter rule, the stricter requirement will be followed.

27. Text Messages

If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:

• Your inquiry;
• Your property;
• Scheduling;
• Inspections;
• Offers;
• Follow-up; and
• Potential transactions.

Where legally required, separate or additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing texts are sent.

Consent to marketing is not a condition of receiving a property 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.

28. Email Communications

We may use your email address to:

• Respond to inquiries;

• Potential follow-up;
• Whether a transaction occurred;
• Contractual obligations;
• Legal requirements;
• Accounting and tax obligations;
• Fraud prevention;
• Litigation;
• Insurance matters; and
• Legitimate business recordkeeping needs.

Where the CCPA applies, retention practices also will be subject to applicable purpose-limitation and data-minimization requirements.

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized:

• Access;
• Acquisition;
• Use;
• Disclosure;
• Alteration;
• Loss; and
• Destruction.

No electronic storage or Internet transmission system can be guaranteed completely secure.

31. California Security Breaches

Where California security-breach law applies, we will investigate suspected unauthorized access to qualifying personal information and provide legally required notice to affected California residents and applicable authorities.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits rights that California law does not permit to be waived.

32. 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.

We do not control third-party:
