Enrollment in any ForeclosureHomes.co service is contingent upon your agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of membership and providing Personally Identifiable Information as described above.

Anti-SPAM Policy:
The ForeclosureHomes.co marketing program has a strict policy regarding unsolicited email.

Aggregate Data:
We may, from time to time, contact you regarding opportunities that may be of interest to you. In that process, we may use a third party service provider to manage our database and communication system in order to send that correspondence to you on our behalf. If you respond to a communication to take advantage of an offer you may see or receive, you share your Personally Identifiable Information with a third party. From time to time, we do share non-personally identifiable information collected in aggregate, anonymous form with third parties so that they may better evaluate what products and services are most appealing to different segments of our member base.

Automatically Collected Information:
When you log on to our Site, our server may automatically recognize you by an encrypted member key, also referred to as a "cookie." This cookie acts as a unique identifier. We may use third party cookies and clear pixels (also referred to as "web beacons") to measure page views and email responses.

As always, it is your choice to participate. We do not guarantee the content or information practices of any third-party site. You alone are responsible for determining the appropriateness of sharing your Personally Identifiable Information with our advertisers. We have your consent to share collected personally identifiable information (including email addresses) with third parties for commercial purposes, such as advertising.

PRIVACY POLICY FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

This PRIVACY POLICY IS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY and it supplements the information contained in the general Privacy Policy shown above. This Privacy Policy applies solely to visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") and other California privacy laws. Any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.

  1. Understanding Your Rights and Choices Under the CCPA

    2. The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

    1. Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights

      2. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

      1. The categories of personal information we collected about you.
      2. The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
      3. Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
      4. The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
      5. The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called Data Portability)

    2. Deletion Request Rights

      3. You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

      We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

      1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
      2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
      3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
      4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
      5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code 1546 seq.).
      6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information's deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research's achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
      7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
      8. Comply with a legal obligation.
      9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

    3. Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

      1. To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please call us (855) 240-8597.
      2. Only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.
      3. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

        1. Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
        2. Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
        3. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

    4. Right to Opt Out of Sale of Personal Information to Third Parties.

      5. You have the right to know if your personal information may be sold and the right to opt out of such sale. In our efforts to comply with this right to opt out, you may visit this link & provide us your email address and zip code so we can verify and process your requests. See section 5 below for more details ("Sharing Personal Information").

    5. Response Timing and Format

      1. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to the email address associated with that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
      2. For consumer requests to opt out of sale of personal information, we will review, verify and process your request within 10 days of receiving this request.
      3. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your Request.

  2. Non-Discrimination

    1. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

      1. Deny you goods or services.
      2. Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
      3. Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
