  • Controlled or processed personal data of at least 35,000 consumers, excluding data processed solely to complete a payment transaction; or
  • Controlled or processed personal data of at least 10,000 consumers and derived more than 20% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data.

The inclusion of this section does not represent that every DPDPA provision necessarily applies to Delaware Fire House Buyer at all times.

Where the DPDPA applies, we will process personal data and consumer requests as required by law.

You may submit the appeal using the same request mechanism and identify it as:

“Delaware Privacy Appeal.”

Where applicable law requires it, we will respond to the appeal within 60 days.

If an appeal is denied, we will provide information required by law concerning how to contact the Delaware Department of Justice.

15. Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms

Beginning January 1, 2026, covered controllers under Delaware law must recognize qualifying universal opt-out preference signals for sale and targeted advertising as required by the DPDPA.

Such mechanisms may include qualifying:

  • Browser settings;
  • Browser extensions;
  • Global device settings;
  • Internet links; or
  • Other technologies communicating an authorized opt-out preference.

Where applicable to us, we will process qualifying universal opt-out signals as required by Delaware law.

16. Sensitive Data

Our standard property-offer forms are not designed to collect unnecessary sensitive personal data.

Sensitive data under Delaware law may include certain information concerning:

  • Racial or ethnic origin;
  • Religious beliefs;
  • Mental or physical health conditions or diagnoses;
  • Pregnancy;
  • Sexual activity or orientation;
  • Transgender or nonbinary status;
  • Citizenship or immigration status;
  • Genetic information;
  • Biometric information;
  • Personal data concerning a known child;
  • Precise geolocation; and
  • Other categories identified by applicable law.

Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive data through standard Website forms.

Where Delaware law requires consent before processing sensitive data, we will obtain legally required consent.

Where consent is relied upon, we will provide a mechanism for revocation where required.

17. Data Minimization

Where the DPDPA applies, we limit collection of personal data to information that is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary for disclosed purposes.

Property-related information may reasonably be used to:

  • Match the property with prospective purchasers;
  • Communicate with the seller;
  • Conduct due diligence;
  • Prevent fraud; and
  • Facilitate a possible transaction.

Such activities may include certain:

  • Targeted advertising;

  • Profiling; and
  • Processing of sensitive data.

19. Changes to Delaware Privacy Law Effective January 1, 2027

Delaware has enacted amendments that materially broaden portions of the DPDPA beginning January 1, 2027.

Subject to statutory exemptions, the amended applicability provisions include lower thresholds, including:

  • Processing personal data of at least 10,000 consumers;
  • Processing personal data of at least 5,000 consumers while deriving more than 20% of gross revenue from sale of personal data; and
  • Certain third parties that acquire personal data from a controller.

The amendments also expand or clarify certain consumer and controller obligations.

Beginning on the applicable effective date, we will apply those requirements to the extent they govern our activities.

20. Telephone Communications

If you provide a telephone number, we may use it to respond to your inquiry and communicate regarding:

  • Your property;
  • Your requested cash offer;
  • Property research;
  • Scheduling;
  • Buyer matching;
  • Follow-up;
  • Potential transactions; and
  • Related services.

Where federal or state law requires additional consent before regulated automated dialing, artificial voice, prerecorded voice, or marketing technologies are used, we will obtain legally required consent.

You may ask us to stop calling by communicating that request.

21. Recording of Calls and Communications

Delaware law contains overlapping provisions governing recording and interception of private communications.

One Delaware wiretapping provision allows recording where the recorder is a party to the communication or one party has given prior consent, while another privacy provision contains language requiring consent of all parties for private communications.

Because of these overlapping provisions, the possibility of interstate communications, and the importance of protecting consumer privacy, our policy is to use the more protective approach for private calls where practicable.

If we or a service provider records a private telephone call:

  • Appropriate notice should be provided;
  • Consent from all participants should be obtained where legally required or reasonably necessary to eliminate uncertainty; and
  • Any stricter law governing another participant’s location will be followed where applicable.

Submission of a Website form alone does not constitute blanket consent to secret recording of later private conversations.

22. Text Messages

If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:

  • Your inquiry;
  • Your property;
  • Scheduling;
  • Your requested offer;
  • Prospective purchasers;
  • Buyer matching;
  • Follow-up;
  • Potential transactions; and
  • Related services.

Where legally required, separate or additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing text messages are sent.

Consent to marketing communications is not a condition of receiving a property offer or selling property where prohibited by law.

Message and data rates may apply.

Message frequency may vary.

You may request that applicable messages stop by replying STOP.

Where supported, you may reply HELP for assistance.

23. Email Communications

We may use your email address to:

  • Respond to inquiries;
  • Communicate concerning your property;
  • Provide information regarding potential offers;
  • Schedule calls or appointments;
  • Follow up regarding prospective purchasers or transactions; and
  • Send marketing communications where permitted by law.

Applicable promotional emails will provide an unsubscribe mechanism.

We may continue sending administrative, transactional, legal, or security communications where appropriate.

24. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Factors affecting retention may include:

  • Whether a property inquiry remains active;
  • Whether a property remains of interest to prospective purchasers;
  • Whether a transaction occurred;
  • Potential future follow-up;
  • Contractual obligations;
  • Legal requirements;
  • Tax and accounting obligations;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Litigation or disputes; and
  • Legitimate business recordkeeping needs.

Property inquiries that do not immediately result in a transaction may be retained for future follow-up or buyer matching unless deletion is required by applicable law or continued retention is no longer reasonably necessary.

25. Information Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized:

  • Access;
  • Acquisition;
  • Use;
  • Disclosure;
  • Alteration;
  • Loss; and
  • Destruction.

Safeguards may include appropriate:

  • Authentication;
  • Access controls;
  • Encryption;
  • Secure transmission;
  • Vendor oversight;
  • Employee access restrictions;
  • Security monitoring;
  • Malware protection; and
  • Incident-response practices.

No electronic system or Internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

26. Children

The Website is intended for adults involved in real estate matters.

It is not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 through our standard property-offer forms.

Where processing information concerning a known child requires parental consent, we will comply with applicable law.

27. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services.

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party:

  • Privacy practices;
  • Security;
  • Content;
  • Products;
  • Services;
  • Availability; or
  • Business practices.

Your interaction with a third party is governed by that party’s applicable terms and privacy policies.

28. Information About Other People

If you provide information concerning another:

  • Property owner;
  • Co-owner;
  • Heir;
  • Family member;
  • Representative;
  • Tenant; or
  • Other individual,

you represent that you have authority or another lawful basis to provide that information.

When changes are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above.

Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent concerning a material change, we will provide such notice or obtain appropriate consent.
