Privacy Policy

Deal Depot ("Deal Depot," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. It applies to www.dealdepot.deals (the "Site") and to the emails, text messages, and phone calls we exchange with you.

By using the Site or submitting your information to us, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or submit your information.

1. Who We Are

Deal Depot sources and markets off-market real estate opportunities to investors and cash buyers, primarily in Washington State. We operate the Site, maintain a buyer list, and send deal notifications by email and text message to people who have asked to receive them.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Information you give us

• Contact information — name, email address, mailing address, and mobile or landline phone number.
• Buyer criteria ("buy box") — the property types, condition, size, price range, counties or areas, financing type, and exit strategy you are looking for, plus any notes you share with us.
• Property information — if you contact us about a property you own or control, the address, condition, occupancy, and circumstances you describe.
• Communications — the content of emails, text messages, web form submissions, and voicemails you send us, and notes we take during calls.

Information collected automatically

• Device and usage data — IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, links clicked, and dates and times of access.
• Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 8.

Information from other sources

• Public records — county assessor, recorder, and court records, and other publicly available property and ownership data.
• Service providers and data vendors — contact and property data from lawful commercial sources.
• Referrals — information a referral partner or another buyer provides when introducing you to us.

We do not intentionally collect Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, financial account numbers, or payment card numbers through the Site. Please do not submit them through our web forms.

3. How We Collect It

We collect information when you fill out a form on the Site (including our "Join Our List" buyer signup), call or text us, email us, respond to one of our messages, or browse the Site. We also receive it from the public and commercial sources described above.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Send you off-market property opportunities, new deal alerts, and related updates that match the buying criteria you gave us;
• Respond to your inquiries and requests;
• Communicate with you about a specific property, offer, contract, or closing;
• Maintain and segment our buyer list so you receive deals relevant to your criteria;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
• Measure the performance of our marketing and understand which content is useful;
• Keep business records; and
• Comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Service.

5. Text Messaging & Mobile Information

If you provide your mobile number and opt in, we may send you recurring text messages about off-market property opportunities, new deals, and related updates.

Consent is voluntary. Agreeing to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any property, product, or service from us, and it is not required to work with us.

If you change or give up a mobile number that you previously used to opt in, please tell us so we do not text the number's new owner.

6. Email Communications

If you join our list or contact us, we may email you deal alerts, property information, and updates about our business. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time by clicking it or by emailing [email protected] with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line. We may still send you non-marketing messages about a transaction you are actively involved in.

7. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:

• Service providers. Companies that operate our systems on our behalf — customer relationship management and marketing platforms, email and SMS delivery providers, website and form hosting, analytics providers, e-signature and document services, and IT support. They may use the information only to perform services for us.
• Transaction participants. When you are involved in a specific property transaction with us, we may share the information needed to complete it with title and escrow companies, attorneys, lenders, inspectors, contractors, real estate licensees, and the other party to the transaction.
• Legal and safety. When we believe disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or court order, or is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Deal Depot, our customers, or others, or to investigate fraud or a violation of our terms.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business or assets, subject to this Policy.
• With your direction. Any other sharing you ask us or authorize us to do.

As stated in Section 5, mobile phone numbers and SMS consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

8. Cookies & Tracking

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and measure our marketing. These may include first-party cookies set by our website platform and third-party cookies set by analytics or advertising providers.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Some parts of the Site may not work properly if you block cookies. Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting; there is no common industry standard for responding to it, and the Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

9. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as you are on our buyer list or we have an active relationship with you, and afterward for as long as we need it to run our business, resolve disputes, keep accurate records, and meet legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations. We keep records of opt-out requests indefinitely so that we can honor them.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold, including access controls, encryption in transit for our website and forms, and vendors that maintain their own security programs. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Your Privacy Rights

You may, at any time:

• Opt out of text messages — reply STOP to any message.
• Opt out of marketing emails — use the unsubscribe link or email us.
• Ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to stop contacting you entirely.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws — such as the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, the right to request a copy or deletion, the right to correct inaccuracies, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or of targeted advertising, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Deal Depot does not sell personal information.

To make a request, email [email protected] with "Privacy Request" in the subject line, and tell us what you are asking for. We will respond as required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting, and we will not discriminate against you for making a request. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written proof of authorization.

12. Children's Privacy

The Site and our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us information, contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it.

13. Third-Party Links

The Site may link to websites and services we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Review their privacy policies before providing them information.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last Updated" date above and post the revised version on this page. Material changes may also be communicated by email or text. Your continued use of the Site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Policy.
