15. Oregon Consumer Privacy Act
The Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (“OCPA”) grants specified privacy rights to Oregon consumers when a business or other covered entity is subject to the statute.
The OCPA generally applies to a person that conducts business in Oregon or provides products or services to Oregon residents and, during a calendar year:
- Controls or processes personal data of at least 100,000 Oregon consumers, excluding data processed solely to complete payment transactions; or
- Controls or processes personal data of at least 25,000 Oregon consumers while deriving 25% or more of annual gross revenue from selling personal data.
The inclusion of this section does not represent that I Buy Houses With Fire Damage Portland necessarily meets an OCPA threshold.
Where the OCPA applies, we will comply with its requirements.
16. Oregon Privacy Rights
Where the OCPA applies, qualifying Oregon consumers may have rights to:
- Confirm whether we process their personal data;
- Access qualifying personal data;
- Obtain a copy of qualifying personal data;
- Correct inaccuracies;
- Delete qualifying personal data;
- Obtain information concerning categories of data processed;
- Obtain a list of specific third parties to which qualifying personal data has been disclosed;
- Opt out of sale of qualifying personal data;
- Opt out of targeted advertising; and
- Opt out of qualifying profiling producing legal or similarly significant effects.
Rights are subject to statutory definitions, exceptions, verification procedures, and other limitations.
17. Privacy Requests
Where the OCPA applies, consumers may submit qualifying privacy requests using the contact method identified in this Policy or another legally required request mechanism.
We may authenticate requests as permitted by law.
We generally will respond to qualifying authenticated requests within 45 days.
Where reasonably necessary and permitted, we may extend the response period once for an additional 45 days after providing required notice.
18. Appeals
Where the OCPA applies and we deny a qualifying privacy request, the consumer may appeal the decision.
We generally will respond to a qualifying appeal within 45 days.
If an appeal is denied, we will provide information required by law concerning how the consumer may submit a complaint to the Oregon Attorney General.
19. Sale, Targeted Advertising, and Profiling
Where the OCPA applies, consumers may opt out of qualifying:
- Sale of personal data;
- Targeted advertising; and
- Profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
The terms “sale,” “targeted advertising,” and “profiling” have specialized meanings under Oregon law.
Disclosures to service providers, consumer-directed recipients, transaction professionals, affiliates, or parties to qualifying business transactions may fall within statutory exclusions depending on the circumstances.
20. Universal Opt-Out Signals
Beginning January 1, 2026, covered entities must recognize qualifying universal opt-out mechanisms where Oregon law requires them.
A valid browser-based preference signal such as Global Privacy Control may therefore be processed as a request to opt out of applicable sale or targeted-advertising processing.
Where required, we will provide a clear method or link for exercising applicable opt-out rights.
21. Precise Geolocation
Oregon law provides additional protection for precise geolocation information.
As of January 1, 2026, covered entities may not sell qualifying precise geolocation data of Oregon consumers.
We do not need precise geolocation information to evaluate an ordinary fire-damaged property inquiry.
Where location information is used, we will limit processing consistent with applicable law.
22. Consumers Under 16
As of January 1, 2026, Oregon law restricts covered businesses from selling personal data of consumers known, or in circumstances specified by law reasonably understood, to be under 16 or using such data for targeted advertising or qualifying profiling.
The Website is intended for adults involved in real estate transactions.
23. Sensitive Data
Where the OCPA applies, sensitive data includes certain categories such as qualifying information concerning:
- Racial or ethnic background;
- National origin;
- Religious beliefs;
- Health conditions or diagnoses;
- Sexual orientation;
- Citizenship or immigration status;
- Transgender or nonbinary status;
- Crime-victim status;
- Genetic data;
- Biometric data used for identification;
- Personal data of children; and
- Precise location.
Covered entities generally must obtain consent before processing qualifying sensitive data, subject to statutory exceptions.
Our standard property forms are not designed to collect unnecessary sensitive information.
24. Data Minimization and Security
Where applicable law requires it, we will maintain practices designed to:
- Limit processing to information reasonably necessary for disclosed purposes;
- Avoid incompatible secondary uses without an appropriate basis;
- Maintain reasonable administrative safeguards;
- Maintain reasonable technical safeguards;
- Maintain reasonable physical safeguards; and
- Use appropriate service-provider or processor arrangements.
25. Data Protection Assessments
Where the OCPA applies, we may be required to conduct data protection assessments for qualifying higher-risk processing, including certain:
- Targeted advertising;
- Sale of personal data;
- Profiling;
- Sensitive-data processing; or
- Other processing presenting heightened risks.
26. Data Brokers
Oregon separately regulates qualifying data brokers.
Directly receiving property information from a homeowner does not automatically make a business a data broker.
If our broader operations independently meet Oregon’s statutory definition of a data broker, we will comply with applicable registration and other obligations.
27. Telephone Communications
If you provide a telephone number, we may use it to communicate concerning:
- Your inquiry;
- Your property;
- Property research;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up;
- Potential transactions; and
- Related services.
Where state or federal law requires additional consent before regulated automated, prerecorded, artificial-voice, or marketing communications are made, legally required consent will be obtained.
You may request that calls stop.
28. Recording of Calls and Conversations
Oregon law distinguishes between telecommunications and other conversations.
Oregon generally permits a participant in a telephone or telecommunications communication to record the communication, subject to statutory restrictions and exceptions.
Oregon generally requires participants in an in-person or other covered conversation to be specifically informed that the conversation is being recorded, subject to statutory exceptions.
Because communications may involve people physically located in other states with stricter requirements, our operational practice may provide recording notice and seek consent from all participants.
Where another applicable jurisdiction imposes a stricter rule, the stricter rule will be followed.
29. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:
- Your inquiry;
- Your property;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where legally required, separate or additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing messages are sent.
Consent to marketing communications is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited by law.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
30. Email Communications
We may use your email address to:
- Respond to inquiries;
- Communicate concerning your property;
- Provide potential-offer information;
- Schedule calls or visits;
- Send transaction-related information;
- Follow up; and
- Send promotional communications where permitted.
Applicable promotional emails will provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
31. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Relevant considerations may include:
- Whether an inquiry remains active;
- Whether property remains of acquisition interest;
- Potential follow-up;
- Whether a transaction occurred;
- Purchase or assignment records;
- Wholesaling compliance records;
- Legal requirements;
- Tax and accounting obligations;
- Fraud prevention;
- Litigation;
- Insurance-related records; and
- Legitimate business recordkeeping needs.
32. Information Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized:
- Access;
- Acquisition;
- Use;
- Disclosure;
- Alteration;
- Loss; and
- Destruction.
No electronic storage or Internet transmission system can be guaranteed completely secure.
33. Oregon Security-Breach Notification
Oregon law imposes notification requirements following qualifying breaches of personal information.
Where applicable, we will:
- Investigate the incident;
- Determine its scope;
- Restore the reasonable integrity of affected systems;
- Notify affected Oregon consumers as required; and
- Notify government authorities where legally required.
Required consumer notice generally must be provided within 45 days after discovery of a qualifying breach, subject to applicable exceptions or lawful delays.
Where a breach affects more than 250 Oregon consumers, Oregon law generally also requires notice and a sample consumer notice to be provided to the Oregon Department of Justice within 45 days.
34. 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 ordinary property-inquiry information online from children under 13.

- Personal representative;
- Executor;
