we will provide and honor legally required opt-out mechanisms.

The TDPSA generally applies to persons that:
- Conduct business in Texas or produce a product or service consumed by Texas residents;
- Process or engage in the sale of personal data; and
- Are not otherwise exempt under applicable law.
Certain entities and types of information are exempt.
Businesses qualifying as small businesses under applicable federal Small Business Administration standards are generally exempt from many TDPSA requirements.
However, a small business may not sell a consumer’s sensitive personal data without the consumer’s prior consent where Texas law requires such consent.
The inclusion of this section does not represent that every provision of the TDPSA necessarily applies to Texas Fire House Buyer at all times.
12. Texas Consumer Privacy Rights
Where the TDPSA applies, qualifying Texas consumers may have the following rights.
Right to Confirm and Access
You may have the right to confirm whether we process personal data concerning you and to access applicable personal data.
Right to Correction
You may have the right to correct inaccuracies in personal data concerning you.
Right to Deletion
You may have the right to request deletion of personal data provided by or obtained about you, subject to applicable exceptions.
Right to Data Portability
Where applicable data is available digitally, you may have the right to obtain certain personal data you previously provided in a portable and, where technically feasible, readily usable format.
Right to Opt Out of Sale
You may have the right to opt out of the sale of personal data.
Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising
You may have the right to opt out of processing for targeted advertising.
Right to Opt Out of Certain Profiling
You may have the right to opt out of profiling performed in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising rights provided under applicable privacy law.
13. Exercising Texas Privacy Rights
To submit an applicable privacy request, you may contact us through:
Phone: 361-401-6198
Website: texasfirehousebuyer.com
You may also use any privacy-request, privacy-choice, sale opt-out, or targeted-advertising opt-out mechanism we make available.
Where required by the TDPSA, we will provide secure and reliable methods for submitting privacy requests.
We may take reasonable steps to authenticate applicable requests.
14. Response Timing
Where the TDPSA applies, we generally will respond to an authenticated consumer request without undue delay and not later than 45 days after receipt.
Where reasonably necessary and permitted by law, the response period may be extended once by an additional 45 days, provided legally required notice of the extension is given.
15. Privacy Appeals
Where the TDPSA applies and we decline to take action on a consumer request, you may appeal the decision through the applicable privacy-request method.
An appeal should clearly state:
“Texas Privacy Appeal.”
We will process applicable appeals as required by law.
If an appeal is denied, we will provide information required by applicable law concerning how to submit a complaint to the Texas Attorney General.
16. Authorized Agents and Privacy Preference Technologies
Where the TDPSA applies, a consumer may in appropriate circumstances designate an authorized agent to submit certain sale or targeted-advertising opt-out requests.
A designation may be communicated using technologies such as:
- A Website link;
- A browser setting or extension;
- A global device setting; or
- Another qualifying technology.
Where Texas law requires us to recognize a qualifying authorized-agent request and we can complete legally required verification, we will process the request accordingly.
17. Sensitive Data
Our standard property-offer forms are not designed to collect unnecessary sensitive data.
Sensitive personal data may include certain information concerning:
- Racial or ethnic origin;
- Religious beliefs;
- Mental or physical health diagnoses;
- Sexual orientation;
- Citizenship or immigration status;
- Genetic information;
- Biometric information used for identification;

- Personal data concerning a known child; and
- Other categories defined by applicable law.
Please do not submit unnecessary sensitive information through standard Website forms.
Where the TDPSA requires consent before processing sensitive personal data, we will obtain the consent required by law.
We do not intend to sell sensitive personal data collected through our standard property-inquiry process.
18. Data Minimization
Where required by applicable law, we limit personal-data collection to information that is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary for disclosed purposes.
For example, property-related information may reasonably be used for:
- Identifying the property;
- Responding to an inquiry;
- Researching property characteristics;
- Evaluating a potential purchase;
- Matching the property with prospective purchasers;
- Communicating with the seller;
- Conducting due diligence;
- Preventing fraud; and
- Facilitating a potential transaction.
19. Data Protection Assessments
Where required by the TDPSA or another applicable law, we may conduct and document data protection assessments concerning processing activities that present heightened risks.
Such activities may include certain:
- Targeted advertising;

You may request that calls stop by communicating that request to us.
21. Recording of Calls and Communications
Texas generally permits a person who is a party to a wire, oral, or electronic communication, or who has the prior consent of at least one party, to record or intercept that communication, subject to applicable legal limitations.
We or service providers acting on our behalf may record communications for purposes including:
- Quality assurance;
- Training;
- Documentation;
- Compliance;
- Fraud prevention;
- Security; and
- Other legitimate business purposes.
Because a call may involve a person located in another jurisdiction with stricter recording rules, additional notice or consent may be required.
Where another applicable law requires all-party consent or another recording procedure, we will comply with that stricter requirement.
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 communications are sent.
Consent to marketing communications is not a condition of receiving a property offer or selling property where prohibited by applicable law.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
You may request that applicable text communications 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 regarding your property;
- Provide information concerning potential offers;

- Legal requirements;
- Tax and accounting requirements;
- 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 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;

No electronic storage system, security measure, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy expands or limits statutory security-breach duties.
27. 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.
