Privacy Policy
Effective date: [INSERT DATE] · Last updated: [INSERT DATE]
1. Who we are
This site is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], doing business as Home Buyers of South Carolina ("we," "us," "our"), a real estate investment company located in Charleston, South Carolina. You can reach us at [PHONE] or [EMAIL], or by mail at [MAILING ADDRESS].
2. Information we collect
- Information you give us: your name, phone number, email address, the property address, property details you describe, photos you upload, and anything you write in the notes field or send us by text or email.
- Information collected automatically: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time on site, referring URL, and campaign parameters (such as utm_source) — collected through cookies and similar technologies.
- Information from public and third-party records: once you submit a property, we review publicly available records such as tax assessor data, deed and lien records, and comparable sales, plus data from real estate data providers.
3. How we use it
- To evaluate the property and prepare an offer.
- To contact you about your submission by phone, text, or email — including through automated systems, where you have consented.
- To close a transaction, including sharing with the title or closing attorney, lenders, inspectors, and contractors as needed.
- To improve the site, measure marketing performance, and prevent fraud and abuse.
- To comply with law and enforce our agreements.
4. We do not sell your personal information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (for example: form and hosting providers, CRM and communication tools, title companies, and contractors), and only as needed to do that work. Where we cannot complete a purchase ourselves, we may share the property information with a vetted buying partner — we will tell you before we do.
5. Text messages and calls
By submitting the form and checking the consent box, you agree that we may contact you by phone, text, and email about your property, including through automated dialing or messaging systems. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or HELP for help. You can also ask us to stop contacting you at any time by calling or emailing us.
6. Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used and how our advertising performs. This may include analytics and advertising services that set their own cookies. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through your settings; blocking them may affect how parts of the site work.
7. How we protect and how long we keep information
We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the information we hold, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We keep property submissions and related communications for as long as needed for our business and legal purposes, and then delete or de-identify them.
8. Your choices and rights
- Ask us what personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct or delete it.
- Opt out of marketing calls, texts, and emails at any time.
To make a request, contact us at [EMAIL] or [PHONE]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy law, and we will honor those where they apply.
9. Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we will change the "last updated" date above. Material changes will be posted on this page.
