Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 2, 2026

Estate Deals Club ("EDC", "we", "us") runs estatedeals.club, the web app at estatedeals.club and our phone numbers. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we use it, who we share it with and the choices you have. Questions: [email protected].

1. Information you give us

• Account: phone number (you sign in with a one-time code texted to it), email address, name and password (stored only as a hash).
• Profile: name, company, headline, about text, specialties, expertise, years in real estate, languages, links, the phone numbers and email you add, profile photo and background image.
• Deals and buy boxes: deal details including the property address, price, notes and criteria; buy-box criteria such as states, cities, ZIP codes and property types.
• Reviews you write or receive, including the property address and transaction details entered.
• Text you submit for AI analysis or chat, on the /try page or in the app.
• Contacts you import or invite, and people you name as a deal's provider (see section 3).
• Support requests, including callback phone, email, notes and attachments.
• Texts and calls to our numbers: we receive your number and message; voicemails are recorded and transcribed.
• Payments: Stripe collects your card and billing details directly. We receive your Stripe customer ID, plan and payment status — never your card number.
• Affiliate payouts: to receive referral commission you create a Stripe Express account; Stripe collects your identity, tax and bank details, and we receive the account ID and transfer status.

2. Information we collect automatically

• Browser storage: the app keeps your sign-in tokens, user ID and plan in your browser's local storage, plus a referral ID if you arrived through someone's link.
• Referral data: the code you arrived with, who referred you, the page you landed on, the page that sent you, and sign-up and payment milestones — used to credit referrers.
• Push token, if you allow notifications.
• Technical data: our hosting and Cloudflare process your IP address, browser and device details to deliver the site and stop abuse. Server logs are kept for up to 30 days. For anonymous AI use we store a one-way hash of your IP address to enforce the daily limit.
• Analytics: our public pages use Google Analytics 4 (GA4); visitors in the EEA and UK get it only after consenting.
• Ads measurement: our public pages also load Google Ads and Meta Pixel tags that record page views and sign-up clicks, on the same consent terms. Elsewhere these tags load by default. You can block them with your browser's privacy settings or a content blocker.

3. Information about people who are not members

• When a member imports or invites contacts, or names someone as a deal's provider, we store the name, phone number and email the member entered and may create an unclaimed profile. We do not text that person.
• Our team may create unclaimed profiles and deals from public real estate posts, using the post text and the author's name.
• We keep private records about people in real estate, whether or not they have joined. They hold posts and contact details that people share with us or publish, the groups people take part in, and deals. We use them to match deals with buyers and to suggest people a member may want to work with. We do not show the contact details or collected posts in these records publicly.
• If this is you, you can claim the profile by signing up with that phone number, or ask us to delete your record without an account — see Data deletion.

4. How we use information

• To run EDC: accounts, sign-in codes, profiles, matching deals to buy boxes, showing matches in your feed, suggesting people you may want to work with, push notifications, connections and reviews.
• For AI analysis: we send the text you submit — and, for signed-in chat, context from your own profile, deals and buy boxes — to OpenAI to extract criteria and answer.
• For payments, subscriptions and referral commissions.
• For support, security, fraud and abuse prevention (for example rate limits), and to fix problems.
• To comply with the law and enforce our Terms.

We do not currently send marketing emails or marketing text messages. The only email we send today is a verification code; the only texts are sign-in codes and account alerts. EDC does not send invitation texts; members invite people they know themselves.

5. Text messages (SMS)

• Sign-in codes: when you sign in or verify a phone number, we text a one-time code from our toll-free number. How often depends on how often you sign in. Message and data rates may apply.
• Account alerts: texts about your own account that may need a quick reply, such as new matches and messages. How often depends on your activity. Message and data rates may apply.
• No invitation texts: EDC does not send invitation texts; members invite people they know themselves, from their own phone or email. We do not text people who have not joined EDC unless they text us first.
• Reply STOP to any of our numbers to stop texts, or HELP for help. If you stop texts you can still sign in with your password.
• We do not sell phone numbers. No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

6. What other people can see

• Your profile is public. Signed-in members see your full email, phone numbers and links; visitors who are not signed in see contact details masked.
• Deals: signed-in members can see the deals you post, including the property address; visitors who are not signed in see the address, notes and criteria hidden.
• Reviews appear on the reviewed member's profile.
• Files you upload (photos, attachments) are stored so that anyone with the file's link can open them. Do not upload anything you need kept private.

7. Service providers we use

These companies process personal information for us to run the service:

We also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect the rights and safety of our users or others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the business. We may share aggregated information that does not identify anyone. We do not sell personal information for money.

8. How long we keep information, and deletion

• We keep account information while your account is open.
• You can delete your account in the app (Settings → Delete Account). Deletion is scheduled 30 days later so you can change your mind; then your profile, deals, buy boxes, reviews by and about you, connections, chats, referral records, push tokens and account are deleted.
• After deletion some information remains: payment and payout records at Stripe; the text of AI analyses you ran, no longer linked to you; records of texts we sent; files you uploaded, until we remove them at your request; chat conversations stored at OpenAI; server logs for up to 30 days; and database backups until they are overwritten.

Step-by-step instructions: Data deletion.

9. Your choices and rights

• Edit your profile at any time in the app.
• Ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete it by emailing [email protected] from your account email, or including your account phone number. We may ask you to confirm the request from that email or phone, and we respond within 45 days.
• Stop texts by replying STOP.
• Residents of California and other states with privacy laws may have the right to know, delete and correct personal information and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.

10. Children

EDC is for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18; if we learn we have, we delete it.

11. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

12. Changes to this policy

We will post any update on this page with a new effective date, and tell you about material changes on the site or by email.
