Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how AssessorSearch collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use our websites, property search tools, account features, subscription features, shared links, watchlist features, and related services.

AssessorSearch is built for public property record lookup. That means the service may process account information, search activity, property addresses, APNs, parcel identifiers, public property records, owner and mailing fields when available, payment metadata, device data, and support communications as described below.

We collect information in the following categories:

• Account information: name, email address, authentication identifiers, account settings, subscription status, saved preferences, support requests, and communications with us.
• Billing information: plan selection, subscription status, invoices, payment status, billing contact details, and limited payment metadata. Payment card details are handled by our payment processors.
• Search and usage information: addresses, APNs, parcel numbers, county or state pages viewed, property records viewed, watchlist activity, shared-link activity, clicks, timestamps, device information, browser type, IP address, referral pages, logs, errors, and security events.
• Property record information: public-record fields and licensed data such as property addresses, parcel identifiers, owner and mailing fields, sale history, deed fields, tax fields, property characteristics, permit fields, valuation-related fields, geocodes, and related property context when available.
• Website and marketing data: cookie identifiers, analytics events, campaign parameters, referral pages, form submissions, and communication preferences.

We collect information directly from you when you search, create an account, save or share a property, contact support, or purchase a subscription.

We also collect information from public records, county and government sources, data licensors, mapping and geocoding providers, authentication providers, payment processors, analytics providers, hosting providers, and other service providers.

We use information to:

• provide, operate, secure, and maintain AssessorSearch;
• match addresses and parcel numbers to property records and related county sources;
• create accounts, authenticate users, manage subscriptions, and provide support;
• process payments, invoices, account changes, cancellations, and billing disputes;
• monitor performance, debug errors, prevent fraud, enforce terms, and protect AssessorSearch, users, providers, and third parties;
• improve search quality, data matching, data coverage, product features, analytics, and user experience;
• send service messages, security notices, billing notices, product updates, and marketing communications where permitted; and
• comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and preserve or defend legal rights.

AssessorSearch indexes and displays property information from public records, government records, licensed datasets, and related sources. These records may include information about property owners or mailing addresses when those fields are available from the relevant source.

Privacy requests generally apply to information AssessorSearch controls. They may not remove records maintained by county offices, government agencies, data licensors, or other third parties. For official corrections or source-level removals, you may need to contact the relevant county assessor, recorder, clerk, tax office, or data source.

We may disclose information to:

• service providers that help us host, secure, authenticate, bill, analyze, support, and operate AssessorSearch;
• property data, public-record, geocoding, mapping, verification, and infrastructure providers when needed to provide the service;
• payment processors and subscription tools to process billing and account changes;
• professional advisors, auditors, insurers, and legal representatives;
• government authorities, courts, regulators, or third parties when we believe disclosure is required by law or needed to protect rights, safety, security, or service integrity; and
• parties involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.

Some privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly. If our analytics or marketing activities are considered a sale or sharing under those laws, you may have the choices described in the Your Privacy Choices section.

We use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure the service, understand usage, measure marketing performance, and improve AssessorSearch.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may prevent authentication, subscription management, property views, watchlists, or other features from working correctly.

We may send transactional messages about your account, security, billing, subscriptions, usage, support, and service changes. These messages are part of the service and may be required even if you opt out of marketing communications.

We may send marketing emails where permitted by law. You can opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

We retain information for as long as needed to provide AssessorSearch, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, improve the service, prevent fraud, and support legitimate business purposes.

Retention periods vary by data type. Account and billing records may be retained longer than temporary logs, while saved properties, watchlists, support records, and analytics data may be retained while your account remains active or as needed for support, backup, security, or legal purposes.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. These measures may include access controls, encryption, logging, monitoring, vendor review, backups, and security testing.

No internet or electronic storage system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure, controlling access to your account, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized access.

Depending on your location and the information involved, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or opt out of certain processing, sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling.

To make a request, contact us at hello@assessorsearch.com. We may need to verify your identity and authority before fulfilling a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights, but some choices may limit your ability to use AssessorSearch.

Requests may not affect public records or third-party records that we do not control, and we may retain information when permitted or required by law.

Some U.S. state privacy laws require additional disclosures. During the last 12 months, we may have collected the categories described in Information We Collect, disclosed those categories for the business purposes described in this Policy, and used them for the purposes described above.

We do not knowingly sell personal information of children under 16. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you unless permitted by law or necessary to provide the service you request.

Where legally required, you may appeal our response to a privacy request by replying to our decision notice or contacting us again with "Privacy Appeal" in the subject line.

AssessorSearch is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to AssessorSearch, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

AssessorSearch may link to county websites, government websites, third-party records portals, maps, payment processors, or other services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, services, or data practices that we do not control. Review their privacy policies and terms before using them.

AssessorSearch is not a "consumer reporting agency" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and AssessorSearch outputs are not "consumer reports." You may not use AssessorSearch, any AssessorSearch output, or any data obtained through AssessorSearch to determine a person's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing, tenant screening, government benefits, education admission, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws.

AssessorSearch is operated from the United States. If you access AssessorSearch from outside the United States, you understand that information may be processed in the United States and other locations where we or our providers operate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as posting the updated Policy, updating the effective date, sending an email, or showing an in-product notice. Your continued use of AssessorSearch after an updated Policy takes effect means you acknowledge the updated Policy.
