This Privacy Policy explains what information Domestic Real Estate (“we,” “us”) collects, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to our website, portals, and services for buyers, sellers, investors, wholesalers, agents, brokers, lenders, and title partners across the US & Canada.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information to operate the platform and provide our services:

  • Information you provide: name, email address, phone number, mailing and property addresses, budget and financing details, buy-box criteria, documents you upload, and messages you send.
  • Account & profile data: role (buyer, seller, investor, wholesaler, agent, broker, lender, title, staff), license numbers where applicable, and communication preferences.
  • Usage data: pages viewed, searches and filters, saved properties, device and browser type, IP address, and approximate location.
  • Cookies & similar technologies: as described in our Cookie Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

  • Create and manage your account and role-based portal access.
  • Match buyers, sellers, and investors with relevant listings, agents, and opportunities.
  • Respond to inquiries, valuation requests, showing requests, and support tickets.
  • Send transactional messages and, with your consent, marketing communications.
  • Improve our search, recommendations, and AI-assisted features.
  • Detect fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and meet legal obligations.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information to unauthorized third parties. We share information only:

  • With the verified real estate professionals you ask to connect with (e.g., an agent or lender handling your inquiry).
  • With service providers who process data on our behalf under contract (hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processing).
  • When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of users and the public.
  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

5. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA & More)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, and to opt out of certain sharing. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, correct, and limit use of sensitive personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.

To exercise any right, email info@domesticrealestate.us. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

6. Fair Housing Commitment

Domestic Real Estate supports equal opportunity in housing. We do not use personal information to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, or any class protected under the Fair Housing Act and applicable state and provincial laws.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, to comply with legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

8. How We Protect Your Information

We use technical and organizational safeguards including encryption in transit, access controls, audit logging, and least-privilege permissions. No system is perfectly secure, but we work continuously to protect your data and will notify affected users and regulators of a breach where required by law.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
