• A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
5. Real Estate Transactions
a. Escrow, Title, and Third-Party Transaction Services. If you proceed with a purchase or sale transaction with Mad Money Investments, certain personal and financial information will necessarily be shared with third parties involved in completing the transaction, such as escrow companies, title companies, and, where applicable, lenders or attorneys. These third parties maintain their own independent privacy practices and policies, and this Privacy Policy does not govern their handling of your information once it has been shared with them for purposes of the transaction. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any escrow, title, or lending company involved in your transaction.
b. Cash Offers and Alternative Payment Structures. Mad Money Investments may present offers in the form of cash purchases or other payment/financing structures. Any financial information you provide to evaluate these options (such as proof of funds or financing pre qualification) is used solely for purposes of structuring and completing the potential transaction, and is handled in accordance with this Policy and Section 8 (Data Security).
c. No Obligation. Requesting a property valuation, cash offer estimate, or consultation through our Site does not obligate you to proceed with any transaction, and does not obligate us to make an offer.
6. Advertising and Analytics
We use third-party tools, including the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Conversions API, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to understand how visitors interact with our Site. These tools may collect information about your visit, including pages viewed and actions taken (such as form submissions), and may use this data to show you relevant ads on Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms. This activity may constitute “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA, as described in Section 9 below.
You can learn more about how Meta uses this data and manage your ad preferences at Meta’s Privacy Policy and through your Meta ad settings.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site may use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze site traffic, and support our advertising efforts. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect Site functionality.
8. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with our legal obligations (including real estate recordkeeping
requirements), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
9. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, including financial information shared in connection with a potential transaction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights with respect to your personal information, subject to certain exceptions:
• Right to Know. You may request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to Delete. You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (such as information needed to complete a transaction or comply with legal obligations).
• Right to Correct. You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
• Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing. We do not sell personal information for money. However, our use of advertising tools such as the Meta Pixel
may be considered “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA. You have the right to opt out of this sharing.
• Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. To the extent we collect sensitive personal information, you may direct us to limit its use to purposes necessary to provide our services.

Authorized Agent. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, subject to our ability to verify that authorization.
11. Other State Privacy Rights
Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah) may have similar rights to those described in Section 10. If you are a resident of one of these states and wish to exercise applicable rights, please contact us using the information in Section 13.
12. Children’s Privacy
Our Site and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
