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 concerning California consumers.

This Privacy Policy is intended to describe:

• Categories of information we collect;
• Categories of third parties with whom information may be shared;
• How information is used;
• Available procedures for contacting us concerning information;
• Our online-tracking practices;
• The effective date of this Policy; and
• How material changes may be communicated.

13. Do Not Track

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

Because there is no single universally accepted technical or legal standard governing legacy Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to them in a standardized manner.

This does not affect any separate obligation to recognize a legally valid opt-out preference signal under the California Consumer Privacy Act or another applicable law.

14. Global Privacy Control and Similar Signals

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to us, a valid opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) will be processed as required by California law.

Where another applicable privacy law requires recognition of a qualifying universal preference signal, we will process the signal as required by that law.

15. California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), provides qualifying California residents with privacy rights where a business is subject to the statute.

As of October 8, 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 statutory threshold, including:

• More than $26,625,000 in annual gross revenue for the preceding calendar year;
• Annually 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 Irvine California necessarily satisfies any CCPA applicability threshold.

Where the CCPA applies to our operations, we will comply with it.

16. CCPA Rights

Where the CCPA applies, qualifying California residents may have the following rights.

Right to Know

You may request information concerning applicable:

• Categories of personal information collected;
• Categories of sources;
• Business or commercial purposes;
• Categories of third parties;
• Categories of personal information sold or shared; and
• Specific pieces of qualifying personal information.

Right to Delete

You may request deletion of qualifying personal information, subject to statutory exceptions.

Right to Correct

You may request correction of inaccurate qualifying personal information.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

You may direct a covered business not to sell or share qualifying personal information.

Right to Limit Certain Uses of Sensitive Personal Information

Where the statutory right applies, you may limit certain qualifying uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information.

Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable CCPA rights.

17. Sale and Sharing Under the CCPA

“Sale” and “sharing” have specialized meanings under California law.

Depending on the circumstances:

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

Certain disclosures are excluded from those definitions, including qualifying:

• Service-provider disclosures;
• Contractor disclosures;
• Consumer-directed disclosures;
• Affiliate transactions; and
• Business transfers.

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

18. Notice at Collection

Where the CCPA applies, we will provide legally required notice at or before collection of personal information concerning applicable:

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

19. Privacy Request Procedures

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

• Know;
• Access;
• Delete;
• Correct;
• Opt out of sale or sharing; and
• Limit qualifying uses or disclosures 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.

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.

Qualifying opt-out requests will be processed within the timeframe required by applicable California regulations.

21. Authorized Agents

California residents may use an authorized agent to submit certain privacy requests where permitted by law.

We may verify:

• The consumer’s identity; and
• The agent’s authority

to the extent permitted by law.

22. Sensitive Personal Information

California defines certain information as sensitive personal information, including qualifying:

• Government identifiers;
• Financial-account credentials;
• Precise geolocation;
• Contents of private communications;
• Genetic information;
• Biometric information used for identification;
• Health information;
• Racial or ethnic origin;
• Religious or philosophical beliefs;

Our ordinary property-offer forms are not designed to collect unnecessary highly sensitive information.

Please do not submit unnecessary:

• Similar information

through ordinary Website forms.

23. California 2026 Privacy Regulations

California’s updated CCPA regulations became effective January 1, 2026.

Where applicable to our operations, those regulations may require:

• Privacy risk assessments for qualifying higher-risk processing;
• Cybersecurity audits for qualifying businesses;
• Additional consumer notices;
• Contractual controls for service providers and contractors; and
• Additional protections concerning automated decisionmaking technology.

24. Risk Assessments

Businesses subject to California’s risk-assessment requirements must comply with applicable 2026 requirements concerning specified processing activities presenting heightened privacy risk.

Where those requirements apply to us, we will conduct and maintain required risk assessments and make required regulatory submissions.

25. Cybersecurity Audits

California has established phased cybersecurity-audit requirements for qualifying covered businesses.

The compliance schedule depends on applicable business criteria, including revenue.

If those requirements apply to our operations, we will complete and certify the required audits according to the legally applicable schedule.

26. Automated Decisionmaking Technology

California’s current regulations establish additional requirements concerning qualifying automated decisionmaking technology used to make significant decisions.

For systems already in use before January 1, 2027, applicable ADMT compliance requirements begin no later than January 1, 2027.

If we use covered technology in a manner subject to those rules, we will provide required notices and consumer rights.

27. California Data Broker Rules

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 does not have a direct relationship.

A property owner who directly submits information to this Website ordinarily has a direct relationship with us.

If our broader operations independently satisfy California’s statutory definition of a data broker, we will comply with applicable:

• Registration;
• Disclosure;
• DROP;
• Delete Act;
• Audit; and
• Consumer-request requirements.

28. DROP

Beginning August 1, 2026, qualifying registered California data brokers must access the state’s Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform (“DROP”) at legally required intervals and process qualifying deletion requests subject to applicable exceptions.

We will participate in DROP if our operations legally require data-broker registration.

29. California Shine the Light

If California Civil Code section 1798.83 applies and qualifying personal information is disclosed to third parties for those third parties’ own direct marketing purposes, eligible California residents may request specified information concerning those disclosures.

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

• Your property;

• Scheduling;
• Inspections;

You may ask us to stop calling.

31. 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 telephone, electronic, or in-person communication involving a California participant, our operational practice should:

• Provide clear notice that the communication will or may be recorded; 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, that stricter requirement will be followed.

32. 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 messages are sent.

Consent to marketing communications 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.

33. Email Communications

We may use your email address to:

• Respond to inquiries;

• Contract requirements;
• Real estate recordkeeping;
• Legal and regulatory requirements;

Where the CCPA applies, we will also comply with applicable data-minimization, purpose-limitation, and retention requirements.

35. Information 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 or Internet transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

36. California Security Breaches

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

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

37. 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.

38. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites or services.

We do not control third-party:
